| Win view 20 aiQ III Cne elimination
of tuberculosis in Barre, the Vermont
tuberculosis association, which has it's
headquarters in Burlington, is coming
into Barre with campaign for practical
and theoretical work combined; and to
| that end it asked for, and received, from
the Barre city council last night loca-
tion suitable for health station That
location is to be decided upon later.
Preferably the place will be in some
prominent position where show windows
may be used for educational purposes
| In addition to a suitable station, the
association asks heating and lighting of
the room, or rooms, from the city, and,
in turn, it will furnish all the necessary
equipment and will send an experienced
nurse to have charge of the health sta
| tion for considerable period 1t is pro-
posed to establish this health station
| Immediately, and Mrs. Lena Baumhauser,
nurse formerly at the Pittsford sana
torium, has been engaged for the posi-
tion. The work of the station will be
the examination Of people by medical
men and the instruction of all the people
as to the best methods of treating tuber
culosis and for prevention of the disease.
| Perhaps the statement of Sec. III. w.
| Slocum of the association, who appeared
before the council last night, win give
the best idea of the associations purpose
| in Barre. He said; 1T is the intention
of the Vermont tuberculosis association
| to place health nurse and open health
| station in the city of Barre about Oct |.
! The purpose of the nurse is to visit
! homes where there are patients suffering
from tuberculosis, help to make them
comfortable and by actual demonstra-
| tion teach the patient and the family
how to reduce the danger of injecting
Others to a minimum. In addition, she
will endeavor to discover other cases in
the incipient stage
'To do this it is necessary that there
be health station, that is, a room with
equipment that will enable a physician
to make a careful examination of the
chest. This room will also be the head
quarters of the nurse and a place where
she can be found certain hours each day.
"The association is prepared to furnish
an experienced nurse, provide sanitary
| am instructed to ask YOU if the city of
Barre will give us the use of a room for
this work. The room should be easily
accessible and preferably with window
suitable for display. 1t should be large
enough to screen off one end for the pur
pose of examining patients.
"The association feels that the work
done by Mr. Sehattschneider has made
this particularly opportune time for
starting the work All of the work will
be done in cooperation with the local
physicians and under the supervision of
the state board of health"
After hearing the statement of Secre-
tary Slocum, the city council unanimous
ly voted the use of the room, as asked,
and Mayor Glysson appointed Aldermen
Healy and Alexander to make choice
of a room.
