land as one of the most important adjuncts to public health. It pro- vides care in homes where low in- come precludes recourse to tull-time nursing.
 The Visiting Nurse teaches, by practical demonstration, how to maintain living standards. She teaches mothers classes and super vises well child conference s. that both before and after arrival of off, spring mothers may gain expert knowledge as to best care fl their children.
 The Visiting Nurses interpret health department rulings atd care for about one-half of the commu- nicable disease cases reported to the department. The nurses go into homes unreached by the department where cases are uhreported.
 Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, speaking on the radio last night. added his appeal to citizens of Waterbury to support the cam. paign of the Visiting Nurse associa- ton.
 "There can be no economy where the public health is concerned" he said, because any curtailment of precautionary care among our people can prove far more costly in terms of a serious epidemic. The work of the Visiting Nurse is irtim- ately related to the welfare of the entire community. It would be dan- gerous to the public health should the minimum staff of the associa- ton, minimum for a city of Water bury's size, be cut"
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach will speak in behalf of the Visiting Nurse Association campaign at 5:55 o'clock Wednesday over Station WATR. And Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson will voice similar appeal on Fri day at the same hour over Station WATR.

 Mrs. Roger s. Sperry, president of ths Visiting Nurse association, re- iterated today her statement rec garding the emergency confronting the association. Unless the sum sought is forthcoming the staff ot the association cannot be lnaina tin- cd at 0 level which, even now, finds demands on 1t requiring thousands of additional calls, due to sickness and economic conditions in Water bury.
 Today. Rev. Joseph M. valdam- brini, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, added his appeal to all citizens of Waterbury to be generous in their response to the appeal for funds. Father Valdam- brini said, in part, "Anyone who has had some experience with the work of the Visiting Nurse association may truly say that no charitable work in the city can compare with the Visiting Nurse work"
 For the duration Of the cam- paign, contributions may be mailed, or brought personally, to the Visit- Ing Nurse Home. 37 Central avenue.
