URGES PUBLIC HEALTH
NURSE FOR JOSEPHINE

Miss Jane C. Allen. state advisory
nurse OF Portland. was In the city
today, the object OF her visit being
to interest the people OF Josephine
county In hiring public health
nurse. Miss Allen is working under
orders OF the state board OF health.
She came from Medford and today
noon spoke at a Red Cross luncheon
In the Chamber OF Commerce rooms,
and after her speech II is understood
that the local Red Cross organization
was very much In favor OF securing a
public health nurse for this county.
Miss Allen states that six coun-
Ties OF the state have already hired
nurses. and that seven more coun-
ties have decided to take the step.
but thus far have been unable to Sc
cure nurses. so great is the demand.
She urges that the people OF Jose
prime county ask the State Tubercu-
losis association to send nurse
here at once. Such nurse will be
sent here free OF charge to the coun-
ty. for the first three months. her
expenses to be paid with money de-
rived from the sale OF Red Cross
Christmas seal money.
AT the end OF three months the
people here would be in position to
determine whether they wanted TO
engage a nurse permanently. but
wherever the experiment has been
tried out a nurse has been hired by
the county.
These public health nurses are
specially trained and are thorough
ly competent to undertake the work
assigned to them. They visit the
schools. examine the school children.
talk with and cooperate with the
mothers on the health OF their chill
dren, and give expert advice free on
the care of babies. In this way much
can be done to stamp out that dread
disease, tuberculosis.
The Courier believes that the peo-
pie OF Josephine should put In an
application for county nurse, on
the three months trial plan. And
In case such a nurse Is hired per-
manently, the expense to the county
would be very small IT is not the
Intention OF these health nurses to
lntrude in homes where their SER
Vices are not wanted. but their SER
vices are free to the taxpayers, and
they stand ready to give free expert
'dvice In all matters pertaining to
Wealth and the general welfare OF
the community in stamping out and
preventing disease.

who appeared there in concert. One
noted critic has said of the famous
singer, There are accomplished
singers who leave the hearer cold.
They are as heartless in coloratura
passages as they are II they attempt
to sing purely lyrical and emotional
songs, Nine. Galli-Curci, on the
contrary, gave as much pleasure by
singing her groups of songs, Italian.
French and the rest as by her feats
of agility. In the old days the great
singers studied indefatigably the art
of florid song that they might thus
be more effective and emotional in
lyric measures. Nine. Galli-Curci
easily persuades one that the tales
told of singers in the, 18th century
are not mere legends; that "belcan-
to" is not a lost art; that dazzling
brilliance in coloratura passages is
not incompatible with emotional
lyricism. Here is a singer with
voice, skill, brains, and heart"
