CONTINUE EFFORTS
TO DECREASE PLAGUE
IN WAYNE COUNTY

The personal order of County Super.
intendent Williams barring the county
visiting nurse from continuing educa.
tional work in the schools must not
stop the fight against tuberculosis, and
the Wayne County society must in
crease its efforts to warn and educate
susceptible citizens
This opinion was expressed by mem
bers of the society today. Since the
Issuance of the order against the
health work in the country schools,
only general sympathy with the move
ment has been heard and the action
probably will not sdetract materially
from the value Of the work.
Since the decision of Miss Mary Ken
.nedy, the visiting nurse, to close up
her work here, difficulty is expected IN
getting successor to conduct the
work. Superintendent WflIiams'
choice. Miss Lillian Mahin, nurse I'M.
der the direction of the Social Serv-
ice bureau, will not apply, according
to John Melpolder, secretary of the bu-
rea.
"The work must not STOP" said Mrs.
Emma. Dennis, widow Of Dr. David
w, Dennis, who organized and direct
ed the anti-tuberculosis work here and
made 1t his paramount interest until
his death recently. Mrs. Dennis was
elected vice president of the society at
the last meeting to succeed E. M.
Haas.

A committee consisting of J. C.

appointed to go further into the
