! the District Nurse committee OF the
! Red Cross, has received letters from
headquarters, saying that as yet no
nurse has been found for Lyndonvillc
but that one will be sent as soon rs
possible. The rules of the Red Cross
! organization arc such that it is not
allowable for it to use its funds for
nurse who has not had special Red
Cross training, which makes it much
more difficult to find 4 nurse for the
position. This is regrettable at pres
cnt for there is so much illness in
town of various kinds that a nurse is
decidedly needed and at once. In a
very few days the committee hope to
be able to announce something more
definite.
