I V V MT. CARMEL V \ About a fortnight ago, Mr. and Mr?. H. D. Brovn complimented their sister, Miss Mildred Boyd, with a house party at their lovely home home in Mt. Carmel.

Near the close of the evening a delicious salad course was served by Miss Florence Murray of Anderson and Mr. Raymond Pruitt of Mt. Camel.

Counses in home jm e hygiene and care of the sick have been gH s started for thousands of women who j M j j have never received any^ education In i Egi this direction. Rural nursing which Rj s was in Its Infancy a short while ago j ^ has been put ahead at leist a decade ! * through the work of the department ' f of nursing and local Red Cross j t chapters. j e Public health nursing has been ex- j tended to many rural communities and i now flourishes actively In hundreds of j small towns and, counties. Nearly a j ' thousand efficient nurses have already j ^ been assigned to this kind of work. > The department of nursing Is unifr- I 7 Ing with other organizations in a year's j f campaign In recruiting nurses for j training schools, In educating the gen-' eral public as to standards of nursing education and in showing communities 2 their responsibility toward schools of 11 nursing. It will endeavor to meet all j r these needs as well as to continue tbe i | enruwiiieiii ui uieuiiuus wuv win L>r ' HH " i utilized as instructors In home dietet- , H s Ics, in developing nutritional clinics, jH I j and In supplying dietitians (or the !
