 SOCIETY MEETS
Financial Report Not Pre- sented-Discuss Hours
 of Local Nurse

At the regular meeting or the dl- rectors of the Thomaston Visiting Nurse association held at the home of Mrs G. A. Lennon on Elm street Thursday. the reports of the secre- tary and visiting nurse were read and accepted. c. A. Curtiss, treas- urer, was not present at the meeting so no report was had on the finances of the association. The question of how to regulate the bonus for the local nurse, Mrs J. V. Gilland, was discussed. At the present time funds available will only warrant a part time nurse, on the other hand the nurse is working more hours than part time and is only being compen- sated for part time. Either local peo- pie will have to confine their calls for the nurses services, who at the present time has office hours of to J a. m., when she can be reached in person or over the telephone listed under the Visiting Nurse association No. $40, after o'clock a. m the nurse makes her calls which at times keeps her busy until 1 o'clock. Calls can be made at any time but for calls that come in after hours visits will not be made until the next morning. This seems to be the only plan at present open to the direc- tors. It is hard matter to figure out on part time scale, and either the nurse will have to be put on as full time or her work cut from the present hours. Following is the re- port of the nurse as accepted at the meeting: Monday of February: Un- der care first of month, 4 patient; new cases 13; under care during month 13; dismissed during month II; patients under care at end of month fn to n$I ar care ?; cured 2, improved 2; medical cases 35, surgical 5, chronic 8, full pay patients g. free cases 2, cases reported physicians 5, families 10, cost per visit 75c, charge per visit 75c; total visits T, office hours 66, visiting hours 64. Collected for month $32.,
