 FINISHES UP WORK Announcement Made That Drive | for Members Has Met SuCCeS FORMER RESIDENT DIES
Start Work On Bank Strect-All- PlainvilIe to Play New Britain-Re- ceptiOn to Grand Officers - Lois Phelps Gives Concert-Briefs.

ception to Grand Officers - Lois Phelps Gives Concert-Briefs. An announcement which is of great interest to the people of Plainyile at large, was made this morning con corning the results of the drive which
 was instituted some time ago for members of the Plainyille Public Health Nursing association. The com mittee in charge of the drive has completed its work and announces that the entire quota has been raised. A total of S33 members have been se- cured and these have paid in sl,- Se2.05.
 This sum, representing the mem- bcrships, together with s400 voted by 1 the town and an estimated $500 to be i received from the nurses visits, will 1 cover, it is expected, the budget for the coming year, and possibly leave l a small balance at the close of the 1 term.
 While soliciting for funds, the members of the committee have be- come aware that many residents have l failed to understand the work that 1 the visiting nurse is doing and that ! after an explanation of the subject had been made to them, the very same people realize that the nurse does help a great deal in keeping tho health of the town up to a high standard. It is very necessary in a community that visiting nurse be obtained in a case of emergency and the local nurse may be called upon at anytime by anyone in the town for s1.50 a visit.
 The results of the drive have shown that although many of tho people have no occasion to call upon the services Of tho nurse, they now know that she has come to be community necessity.
 From this, the committee thinks that the campaign for members next year will be much easier than it has been this year. The committee feels confident that those members who have joined will renew their member ships next year without solicitation so that the funds of the association may be rcplenished with minimum amount of effort A large number Of the people to whom tho services Of tho nurse arc given are unable to pay for her services and if is for the bncht of the entire community that the association be supported.
 At the present time Miss Iieino- man has under her supervision, Si7 faastant1 ha tag month. This is in addition Co the regular school work which alone would justify the maintenance or visiting nurse.
