Active participation in local public health nursing programs by many industrials from each type and class of people in the town cn- abies these associations to render the most effective service to the community, Hazel V. Dudley, R. N., director of the bureau of public health nursing, stressed today in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. It B not enough just to employ nurses. They must Do especially trained for this type of work and must have the co- operation Of the community. Tho more volunteers prepared to take part in lay duties, the more time will be released for the public health nurse to devote to profess sional activities, and the more widespread the services will be.
 To represent tho community, the board of directors and the various committees should include people from each religious, political and racial group aS well as representa-. lives from the local government,

The sea is calm tonight The tide Is full, the moon lies fair Upon the strais;-on the French coast the light Cleans and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Olmmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet B the night arl Only from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon.blanch'd landI- Listen You hear the grating roar Of pebbles which tho waves draw black, and fling, At their return, up the high strand Begin and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in. sophocies long ago Heard 1t on the Aegean, and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery; we Find also in the sound c thought, Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

board of education and business, Miss Dudley said. The board of d.. rcctofS determines the policy Of the association, raises the money to carry on the work and selects the nurses. This group decides just what services shall be given and to whom. The board helps the nurses to understand their com- munity and interpretS the public health nursing service to the com. munity.
 It is most helpful, Miss Dudley also pointed out, to have individuals In special fields contribute their knowledge to the public health narsing program by serving on committees. Valuable assistance can be given by business men on the finance committees, by newS- paper men on the publicity com. mittec and by local physicians on the medical advisory committees.
 Other volunteers can give worth. while service in such activities ng typing, making dressings, packing nurses' bags, transporting nurses or patients and weighing babies. The community in general can help by supporting the public health nursing association financially and by telling those who need 1t about the service, Miss Dudley said.
