 keeping routine in a cabin or trail- CT as in a modern home, but 1t is not impossible. The cautious home nurse knows that she can help prevent the spread of infection among members of her family If she insists on clean towels and wash cloths to be used exclusively by each person. This will mean extra laundry work but that is tfifling matter compared to the import ance of preventing the spread of disease.
 The infection knows as pinkeye frequently invades the schools and is quickly passed from one child to another through dis- charges from the eyes spread by hand contact. It is painful while it lasts, but usually clear quickly under proper treatment.
 Trachoma is one of the more serious infections of the eye that is prevalent in some parts of the country. The source of the infec- ton is in the secretions and dis charges from the eyes and eye lids of infected persons. Common complications in trachoma include scar tissue deformatory of eye lids and involvement of the eye itself, sometimes leading to blind- ness.
 Weird home remedies have been discovered in isolated communities where health education has been meager. For example, an instructor of home nursing class learned to her aStonishment that rotten apples were the accepted treatment for styles. Just why, no one knows. but if the patients recover without per- rnanent damage 1t is a miracle.
 The home nurse who detects ear- ly symptoms of eye infection or in- flammation and sees that the pa- tient has prompt and suitable treat ment by physician may be the means of saving precious evesi0ht.

NIMRODS

They stand out in the blazing sun
And take it on the chin
Hoping with each future cast
The big fish to reel in.
They fish and fish and fish some
more
AS they stew and burn on the
sandy shore
With empty creel and a coat of tan
Homeward comes our fisherman.
Now we listen to that tale of woe
About the big ones that let go
We listen patiently and hide our
mirth
AS he explains the vagries of the
surf.
He has done it now for many a
year
And each year it is the same
But our hat is off to that fisher
man
From experience we know he is
game
So rouse yourself from your easy
chair
And try il again here and there
The fish are there for you to snare
So overcome that big night mare.
