NORFOLK
Norfolk Nursing Emergency Fund

1SoEhoAA AhGA ~~ During the past few years, since the value of the science of nursing has been understood, there has been great demand for district nurses in country towns to assist in emer- gency cases by giving lavages, throat and nose irrigations, hot and cold packs, alcohol sponges, poultic- ing, etc., etc., in cases where resi- dent nurse is not needed or where the patient is unable to afford 8 nurses services.
 Many of our neighboring towns have availed themselves of funds for this purpose, but in Norfolk, al- though there has been a great need for just such help, especially during the influenza epidemics of the last l two years, there has been no es- pecial fund set aside for the work, and it has therefore been necessary to appeal to private philanthropy for individual cases. Many times, all though generous citizens would doubtless have been glad to supply the need had they understood the necessity, the overworked doctor has found it impossible to find time | to present the circumstance of the case.
 Moreover, there are always cases of illness where the services of a nurse for an hour day would be of inestimable benefit were they avail able. tl5
 It is therefore proposed to estab- fish such fund, of which Dr. Irving L. Hamant will act as treasurer, and for which we hope to start nucleus from the proceeds of this concert, hoping that other means will be found to augment the fund as time goes on.
 Donations will be welcomed and may be forwarded to Dr. Irving L.. Hamant, Greenwood road, Norfolk. At the twenty-frst annual reunion of the Tiffany family held on the lawn of the Congregational church in Barkhamsted, Wednesday the fol- lowing officers were reelected for the ensuing year:-President, Hen ry c. Gidman of this place; vice president, Wallace Case, New Hart ford; secretary and treasurer, Frank B. Tiffany of Winsted. Only twenty l five persons, smaller number than usual were in attendance. A boun- tiful basket-picnic dinner was serv- ed after which all enjoyed various games and a general time of merry l making.
