How quaint. A baby care manual written by a nun. My mother would fly into a fit of rage if she saw this given the appalling treatment she saw dished out to children by nuns in the convent she worked at before she had her own '70s children.
Were there circus acts at the 1974 Logies? Cassidy looks like he’s about to act as ringmaster.

“Sister” could be a nurse?
Could be. Didn’t think of that. Can’t remember the last time I heard a nurse referred to as “sister”. Probably sadistic Sister Scott in The Young Doctors. One of those terms that was probably dropped for being sexist.
It fell out of practice as more men became nurses. There were also Matrons who became Nursing Unit Managers or NUMs.
I still had to call nurses sister in 2014 at school. Definitely still a thing.
