An Essential Factor i'm
the Fight Against Disease

Recognition Of the public health nurse
as an essential factor in the nation flgh'
against disease has caused Congressman
NcDufne OF Alabama TO announce an
important amendment TO his bin Great
ing department of health under q
cabinet member.
Congressman NcDuffle's bill in its
nna form. according TO letter writ
ten 10 the National Organization for
Public Health Nursing, will include
provision for a bureau Of public health
nursing whose chief Will be a trained
public health nurse and one OF the high
ranking officers Of the neOrganized
health department,
"A national health department with
out "a bureau Of public health nursing
would unquestionably be antiquated
and incomplete" said Mr.. McDuflle
More and more communities are plead
ing for public health nurses. In rapid
succession, many State legislatures have
passed legislation making public health
nursing mandatory or permissive
within their jurisdiction Where the
public health nurse 10 not at work, peo-
pie are dying unnecessarily; the health
officer lacks his most effective CO
worker; and indeed the whole system
of public health administration is heav-
ily handicapped The national govern
menl, which Is supposed 30 provide a
model for the states in legislation of
this sort certainly cannot afford to lag
behind in health matters.
"The public health nursing bureau.
which viii be provided for in my bill
Will be stated by competent women
with nursing and public health training
and experience In case OF an epidemic
this bureau will DE able to mobilize
nurses 20 fight the disease in the spot
where IL appears.
"The bureau will constantly keep
valuable records OF statistics Of the
nursing forces Of the country, and viii
issue educational material showing
communities their need OF public health
nursing and urging young women TO
enter the public health nursing field.
The si8ff OF this bureau would aid COM
munities whenever their aid was re-
quesled. 10 have surveys made showing
where the weak spots in their health
provisions were, and 30 organize pub
lie health nursing forces tO flght dis
ease and project health.
"The record Of the public health
nurse in America during the war is a
uecOrd Just as distinguished in every
way as th1t Of her sister whO served
overseas. In the extra-cantonment
zones around large army camps, the
public health nurse proved herself in

performed a service which can only be
, described as heroic. In the midst Of the
epidemic, with disease raging practical
ly unchecked in city, town and country
districts alike. with rich and poor alike
unable TO get assistance, our public
health nurses, depleted in number as
they were by the thousands who had
enlisted for overseas service, worked
night and day with truly unexampled
devotion, for which indeed, many paid
with their lives.
Whether as district nurse, industrial
nurse, infant welfare nurse. or school
nurse, the public health nurse is al
ways and everywhere a teacher. She
Is the community mother. the home

she goes she is welcome, because her
nursing training enables her to serve

THE NEW ENGLAND
kURN HATTIN HOMES

For nearly twenty-five years the
New England Kurn Hattin Homes
have been quietly doing much need
cd work. In the earlier years there
we're times when the financial outlook
was so dark that it looked as if the
work must be given up. But brighter
days came and the Homes have come
to have 50 many friends and the en-
dowment fund has grown TO such an
amount that the life Of the Homes is
assured. There is simply one question
and that how large work the Homes
shall do.
OF late years, until the war came on,
income and expenses fairly balanced.
Notwithstanding the great increase in
the cost Of everything, the Homes
have continued to do about the usual
amount Of work. And this has been
done although the receipts have failed
by considerable to keep up with the
increased cost Of living. That has
meant only one thing, an annual deficit
since then. Something must be done.
The alternatives are less work, with
greater need than ever, or special
effort to secure additional funds. 1t
seems an absolutely clear case that

EARLY MATCHING AND
HOW TO DO II

The Earlier Matching Campaign is
now being started and pushed in this
State.
The first obstacle to be overcome Is
the definite location Of available incu-
bator space. The publicity given to
this campaign will result in inquiries
as to where people con get their own
eggs Matched or where they can buy
day-old chicks. In view of this fact
the State is being circularized as to
available incubators that are in work
able condition, and il is hoped that all
who receive the letters will do their
important part in filling out and
promptly returning the cards.
1t is readily seen that if all who
could would give their first setting
hens baby chicks, instead of eggs,
they would be three weeks earlier.
Early hatch means "carly lay
and summed up means more money to
the producer. To bring this point out
more forcibly, suppose YOUR pullcts
this year had commenced laying three
weeks earlier; your profits would have
been larger, especially this year when
eggs have been SO high. Without a
doubt earlier Matching presents some
difficulties to you; but not near as
many difficulties as the too late
hatchcd pullet has to lay, even ii she
was bred for it, Your difficulties can
be overcome and will be feel sure, il
you could realize the benefits from
early Matching as others have.
Your county agent or the Extension
Service Of the University Of Vermont
will be glad TO help you along the
above lines as much as they can.
