WOULD BUY NEW
CAR FOR NURSE
CARD PARTY TO BE HELD AT
"GRANNEYWooD," THE NORTH
FIELD HOME OF MRS. &. G.
SHREVE, WEDNESDAY AFTER
NOON, AUGUST "a, FOR Benefit
OF FUND.
HELP WORTHY CAUSE

A card party will be given at Gran
neywood," the Mortified home of
Mrs. e. G. Shreve, on Wednesday af-
ternoon, August "a, for the benefit of
a fund which is being raised to pur-
chase a new Ford car for the County
Red Cross visiting nurse.
The present car, a Ford roadster,
has given excellent service for nearly
two years; it has carried the nurse
many thousand miles on her mission
of blessing and relief to the sick and
needy. 1t has been used in taking
patients to hospitals and clinics for
patients and in giving outings to in
valids who otherwise would be entire
llX~shlt
The visiting nurse service, which
was established by the Atlantic City
Chapter of Red Cross in September,
1919, vas maintained entirely by the
chapter until January. 1921, when the
County Board of F%reeholders granted
an appropriation of $500 for the
nurses salary during 1921. This ac-
ton was very much appreciated by
the Chapter Nursing Committee, of
which Mrs. E. G. ShreYe is chairman,
and which was asked by the Board of
Freeholders to continue the super
vision of the nursing work.
In January, 1921, the P~leasantville
Branch of Red Cross took over the
task of financing the expense of the
nursing service exclusive of the
nurses salary. This includes office
rent, electric light, gas, upkeep of the
automobile and supplies for the use of
the nurse in her work. There is not
sufficient in P~leasantville Red Cross
treasury sc the money for the car
must be raised in addition. When il
is realized that she has made 1,200
visits to 256 sick patients since Janu-
airy l in a territory extending from
Port Republic TO Somers Point and
several miles inland. not only driving
over the much travelled and accessible
Shore Road, but also over rough sandy
roads in the outlying districts, and
that her work is increasing every
month. it will be recognized how nee
eSSary il is that a car should be fur
nished that will give the nurse ade-
quate protection and comfort in her
work during the winter. 1t has been
estimated by public health nursing
authorities that a nurse with a good
automobile to use making her rounds
can accomplish more than two nurses
who depend on walking or other
methods of transportation.
The local committee for the nursing
service having charge of the plans for
the card party, of which Mrs. H. c.
Munro is chairman, are hoping for a
generous response to their appeal for
funds. Tickets may be obtained from
Miss Henschel, the Red Cross nurse;
Miss Ida Stephenson. newsstand at
electric station, and from the COM
mittee.
