ants, Misses Emily Carroll, Corneiia

put into motion machinery which will
carry on this intensive study and in
.vestigation in Union county for bring
ing into closer relationship the social
agencies already existing in tn. S
county and resources developed to ex-
tend the work of social service in this
field. AS has already been mention
ed Union county is the first one in
the state to ask for this study.
Miss Emily Carroll talked to a
,arge group of women of the Episco-
pal church Tuesday afternoon, out
gram, emphasizing the nee need a of falb pab-
lie health nurse to community.
She said that public health nurse
differed from graduate nurse in that
she necessarily had to work along ed
ucational lines as we'll as medical and
very briefly told of how a public
health nurse may be obtained, financ-
ed and just what her duties were.
Miss Cornelia Dowdell, one of the
Red Cross workers, assisting in the
community study, talked to the men,
bers of the u. D. C. at the home of
Mrs. w. H. Jeter in Carlisle. Miss
Dowdell, who has just returned from
service with the Red Cross in France
emphasized the very great need of
still maintaining our interest and
help in the work Of reconstruction in
the devastated regions of Europe. AL
though we see the vital need of CEN
tering much effort on the many prob
lens which our war experiences
brought to our minds at home. If we
are to work ultimately for the build.
ing up of a strong unified nation WE
must consider the problems and ex.
periences which other countries are
obliged to meet in this great period
Of reorganization.
