 Methodist Church to Elect Trus-
 tecs-Funeral of D. K. Peck--C. l.. to start Papcr-Bricfs. Only fraction more than third of the $l 800 sought by the Plain vile Public Health Nursing associa- i ton in its recent membership cam paign has been contributed. it is an- nounced by Mrs, Charles $. Wyckolf, secretary of the association, and one necessary consequence of the lack of public support has been the raising of the nurses fee from 30 to 75 cents. The following statement and appeal has been issued by Mrs, Wyckoff:
 The directors of the Plainville Public Health Nursing association wish the public to know that the membership campaign for funds be- gun last May amounts at the present ltime to S664,j0. A little figuring will show that the amount is too small for our need. Last year the own voted to include in its budget S400 for the visiting nurse. The as sociation budget calls for Sl,S00. May it be possible that during vaca- tion days the membership appeal was mislaid? Any amounts yet sent in will be gratefully received.
 "Our Plainville fee for the nurses visit Is very low, too low. Many towns charge S1 a visit. most towns charge more than 90 cents. Today the directors have voted to raise the fec for the nurses visit 10 75 cents beginning October 1.
 "Thc nurse is the town nurse Anyone may call upon her, but naturally. no one who can afford to pay would expect to receive trained service without paying for it, our membership dues are our backing Of the institution. They help to pay the nurses salary, We pay Miss Heineman $1,5O0. The rest of the budget is needed for overhead, of Itice rent, equipment car repairs and supplies.
 During August the nurse made 15l visits and had 331 patients un- der her care. She reports Y pay patients for the month.
 Many hours Miss Heincman spends with the school children in our school, other hours in the office where clerical work, advisory visits and baby conferences demand much
 time. The school work is largely
 preventive and guards our future. 4
 membership due is little enough tt pay for this lookout" service fo . our children and our community children"
