 Reaches 102nd Birthday.
 The following Is an excerpt from the annual report of Miss Emma F. Filling. secretary of the Civic Feder- ation:
 During the year the work of the nurse has been more thoroughly sys- tematized by the use of a card cata- logue. These cards will give all nec- essary data connected with individual eSses sSs TneTs have SS essn s & @ i'm m formation cards. It Is hoped that these will create in the minds of the people a better understanding of the assistance the nurse can give to those in need of her services.
 Efficiency of Nurse.
 Just here we would recognize the very efficient, conscientious work of Miss Deans who succeeded Miss Field as our nurse. Repeated expressions Of appreciation of her work attest her ability and faithfulness.
 Although it did not seem practical for the Federation to take part in the nation- wide Baby Week, March 4-u, VIII COOQCEdIC NVlIn LL1S DQIGcIQ O4 public health and hygiene in distTib- uting leaflets prepared especially for the summer campaign against flies. Five hundred of the, leaflets have been ordered and will be duly distributed. These leaflets are being used primar- fly in the infant welfare work.
 The Federation has again, during this year. considered securing place that should serve as a rest room for women and children. and be used for whatever purposes the Federation might deem advisable. It has, how matter on account of the financial re- sponsibility involved.
 Loyal SuppoRters,
 wish it were possible to enunerate individually the loyal supporters of the Federation. and to express. pub- licly, an appreciation of the services rendered, but time and space will not permit. I would, however, mention the untiring zeal, and unfailing enthusi- asm of our president, Mrs. E. H. Reach in carrying the years work to a suc- cessful issue.
 Generous Cooperation,
 The Federation has had the SUD- port of the community during the three years of it's existence as is | shown by the fact that each veal more than a thousand dollars has been contributed, directly or indirect l ly, for carrying on it's work. It has 2 work to do, especially through the wis tting nurse, which can be accomplish ed by no other agency, for the socia l service calls of the nurse include dis 1 tribution of clothinf1 prenatal advice 1 to expectant mothers, advice as to the 1 care of babies, securing employment l securing medical attendance, report ing unsanitary conditions to the boart of health, and visiting shut-ins, sup plying them with reading and flowers It can be readily seen that the inti. l mate contact of the nurse with those whom she serves enables her to dC much which no one else could accom- plish.
 1 As our people realize more and more 1 the vital importance of the work thai ! is being done, the substantiaI support | of the past three years vii be assured l for the future, and even added oppor- tunity~ be given the Federation to en- | large the scope of it's activities foI 1 promoting the welfare of the commu- 1 nifty.
