This does not by any means cover all the work during the month as done by Miss Anderson, but enough is given here to show fiiSt the necessity for a public health nurse in this county, and to let the contributors to the Red Cross Membership Roll Call next week, and the Christmas Seal Sale later on, know where their money goes. We are depending on the income from these sources to carry the work through January and February. So give freely. It should be added that later on chest clinics will be held for school children by a specialist supplied by the Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
