Red Cross May Assign Nurse for Public Service Here
 in Short Time.

Efforts are being made to secure the assignment of Red Cross nurse in this community, according to a statement made today by Dr. H. c. DeVighne, City Health Officer, as well as Territorial Health Commis sioner. He said that he was hope fu that these would be successful.
 Should such an assignment be made, said Dr. DeVighne, the nurse would co operate in the work of the general public heabth service work classes on home hygiene and care of the sick aiding in physi cal examinations at the schools and act as nurse in the local schools
 The field here is very broad for such a nurse, he said It is expect ed that should the position be creat- cd. the encumbent would act as field representative of the Red Cross in his vicinity and the expense be NNrne by that organization. Division officials of the Red Cross with whom the matter has been taken up are said to be apparently in sympathy with the proposal and it is expected that favorable action will be taken at an early date if sufficient local interest is displayed.
