NURSING SERVICE
 SAFEGUARDS TOWN
State Among Leaders, But Number of Members
 Still Not Sufficient

Every community can give an ex-. cellent Christmas present to itself by providing It's residents with pub- llc health nursing service as Q Safe- guard to community health.
 This, in substance, was the theme of today's State Department of Health broadcast in which Hazel V, Dudley, director of the Bureau of Public Health Nursing, revealed the fact that 64 of Connecticut's l69 towns have no public health nursing service to carry on family health work, and that the number of pulp lie health nurses elsewhere in Con- necticut Is not sufficient although the state ranks well to the front compared to other states.
 Leaders in public health for many years have recognized the fact that In order to provide an adequate pub- lie health nursing program, includ- ing care and health teaching, ma ternal care, care of pre-school and school children, bedside care, etc., ono public health nurse is needed for every 2,000 people. Recently 1t hnS been indicated, Miss Dudley stated, that the public health nurse can do more satisfactory work If she Is responsible for even fewer than this number.
 Connecticut now has approximate ly ono nurse to every 5000 people. Tn j06 Connecticut towns, there are 06 public health nursing associa. tons employing BIO nurses. Besides these, there are about 90 public health nurses employed In IA town and city health departments, about 100 employed by boards of educa- ton, and i30 employed Ns industrial nurses. Tn some Of the 04 towns where there Is no public health nursing association, part or full. tilne school nursing service Is main- tained, This, however, Is the only part, although very important one, of the whole public health nursing program provided, yet two of these towns have more than 5000 popula- ton, and Ave others have between 2,b00 and 5000.
 Mothers ia these towns are getting little or no assistance from public health nurses in keeping their fam- lies well or in caring for them when they are sick. Ideally, Mss Dudley declared, the health of the child should be supervised before birth and during the period before entering school when the founda. ton is laid for health habits, nutri- ton and behavior which will af- feet all Of his later life. General. iSDa tublie health nursing service should provide nursing care and hnNlth supervision for al age groups
 Thedreetor urged groups of reps rtsentative citizens to form commit tees to look into the matter, since there are several methods of or- ganiZing such q service, not tho least of which iS for two or more communities to pool thoir resources in tho establishment of full-time- service health districts. Mss Dud- Icy invited thoge interested to write or call the bureau of public health nursing of tho state department of hsalth, Hartford, for detailed in- formation.
