WHY HOME NURSING?

National Red Cross, in realiza-
ton of the serious shortage of doc
tors and trained nurses in every
community is trying to help this
situation by offering an intensive
course in home nursing. Not only
is there a shortage of physicians
and nurses, but those few left to
carry on for the civilian popula-
ton are being overworked cruelty.
For this reason, "a qualified home
nurse in every home" is the slogan
and natiohdi is sending an in
structor to the Ell Centre area for
six weeks, classes opening on Mon
clay.
Home nurses are not expected,
nor are they qualified, to do nurs-
ing outside of the home. Illness
upsets any home, but now it is vi
tai that to national defense in the
war effort that illness of civilians
be kept to minimum.
To be able to recognize the first
stages of illness, to guard against
contagion, and to hasten recovery
by proper home care are the pur-
poses of these courses.
Care of infants, children and
aged, food for the sick and for
convalescents, simple devices for
making patient comfortable and
happy are also included in the
courses. If any epidemic should
occur, this knowledge in the hands
OF many people would prove a tre-
mendous help to the community.
The Red Cross home nursing
committee, headed by Mrs. Estelle
Reid as chairman, suggests that
the course will be particularly val
liable for young mothers. A spe-
cial invitation is given to the wives
of servicemen in the community,
who will not only get much infor-
nation from the course but who will
find in it an opportunity to meet
people.
Glasses will be held in Harding
aIditorium, WenSley and Seventh
street. Four courses are offered,
and arrangements as to the sched-
ule can be made to suit individual
needs. Women wishing to take the
course should register at Red Cross
headquarters by Friday, telephone
224. No charge is made for the
col!"se, except for the manual. GO
