T|ie campaign which officlslly
opened April 1 is expected to oontinne
as an ongoing educational project ap
pealing to school gronps, industrial
employees, housewives and fathers.
eriwngementa have been made
to adapt the classes to specific groups.
An attempt is being made to reach
he wives of service men and workers
in war indnstrles, who because of
crowded living conditions and lack of
public health nursing care are faced
with home nursing problems beyond
their training.
Social agencies are recommending
led Cross home nursing to women
who want to care for chUdren in
boarding homes, or who plan to adopt
children. Women'conducting daytime
nursmriee for children of employed
