aaitt^ a report baaed on a study
which the committee had made of
the ecoompUehments and future
needs of the eseoclation.
In oonferMice with Mrs. D. McL.
McDonald of the state association,
the committee had oome to the
conclttsion that the Kershaw conn-
ty aaeoclatloii'ao longer has any
need of e gradeate norse. hut that
it does need the eervioes of e
trained health edecathm worker.
Since this type of worker is
hard to fMd and sines the looal
