While the WATERFOWL Civic un-
lon now has its new car presented
to 1t by popular subscription, II
has not yet the funds to pay for
the nurse who Is to do the nursing
work. 1t is even more important
to have the nurse to go to the
homes of the people who need hel
and the salary of the nurse and
her expenses must come from the
Civic union.
To get this money, and TO sup
port the. other community work
of the town, the Girls union Is
now making a general appeal that
has not been made for some years
l. Nursing Work Vital
The work of the visiting nurse
has become increasingly important
every year. Last year the nurse
made 1868 calls-a tremendous
number of visits, and very neces-
sary to the life and health Of the
town. OF these calls 1912 were
medical, surgical and chronic cases,
and the other calls were divided
between nursing, communica BILE
diseases, baby welfare and health
supervision. In addition to this
there were 10 children on the
child welfare list, and many con-
ferences were held last year, and
there will be even more this year.
$4,000 Of the $4,000 that the
Civic union is trying to raise will
go for the salary, supplies and ex-
penses Of the visiting nurse, and
her automobile, and certainly no
work is more needed at the pres
