their brother, Frank Robertson.
1t has come to the knowledge of the
Public Safety Organization that, notwith-
standing the fact that the epidemic of
Spanish influenza is on the wane here in
Belfast, there is lot of sickness through
out the county, and in many places
nurses are needed very much. If all
those in the county who are willing to
volunteer as nurses will kindly send thei1
names to the Public Safety office, we
will register their names, and have them
registered with the Public Safety Office al
Augusta, and if those who are in need Of
nurses will communicate with us, we will
endeavor from our list to furnish nurses
that are registered with the Augusta
office. The nurses are entitled to have
their travelling expenses paid, and will
, be paid the regular trained nurses wages.
It is the desire of the Public Safety Or
aanization to cooperate with the people
and by this arrangement we believe we
, can be of very material assistance.
