Nurse
By MARY BEARD
Director Nursing Service
American Red Cross
WTiitan for NEA S..,s.~
Written for NEA Service

Written for NEA Service
Granted that neighbors are
friendly and of the best inten.
tons, the wise young mother Of
a new baby will do well not %
listen to every bit of advice that
Mrs. Smith next door offers be-
cause she raised ten children
and ought 70 know" Perhaps in
no other case is advice so glibly
given as III that of nursing an
illness: Try this; il helped
Grandma Brown Or, why
raise your baby by a book?
Look how healthy mine is"
Reliable reference books, reg
ular visits to the doctor, the
training offered in home nursing
classes, will not make the sensi-
bic home nurse over-confident.
Rather, she will know her limi-
tations; respect the order and di-
agnosis of her physician; be
wary of accepting the best -inten-
toned advice of neighbors.
NEED HELP
Public health nurses who ara
assisting young wives in trailer
camps or auto courts today are
dependent on the help of neigh
boring wives and home nurses.
There is water to be pumped,
there are dishes to be washed.
towels and sheets to be launder.
ed. There is food to be cooked
and brought in. There are baths
and medicines to be given be-
tween the nurses visits. She will
be delighted to have the coop
Grafton of an intelligent home
nurse, and she will give her
whatever instructions are ne
cessary for the care of the pat
lent. She will be responsible
for seeing that the doctors in
structions are carried out.
y Probably the greatest contri.
button that the home nurse can
make TO the transient wife or
mother i'll in camp far from
her family, is the friendly help
ing hand that keeps the home
functioning even in the face Of
illness.
Care of older brothers and sis
tiers will relieve the anxiety of
the patient who has more than
one child, as they are likely to
be more of a problem than the
new baby.

DR.. Underwood
Praises State
Medical Library

Terming the medical library Of
the state board of health a true
friend in need, it was pointed out
some of the services the library
provides for the use of physicians,
dentists, nurses, laboratory techni-
clans and other health workers.
Maintaining current text books,
manuals covering all the basic sci
ences and the more important peri
odicals and medical journals, the
library is an indispensable source
of up to the minute, authentic in
formation.
Through these extensive resour-
ces," said DR.. Underwood, 1T is
possible for the physician to deter
mine the latest and best known
methods for diagnosing, treating or
preventing a particular disease; or
for the public health worker to
learn the latest and most effective
methods of doing job which might
be VITAL to health. Here professional
and public health workers can
come and learn what all the scien-
fists of the world have done or dis
covered concerning any one of
thousand great questions involving
matters of life and death
Regardless of where one may
live he can make use of the library
by dropping his requests in the
mail,' continued DR.. Underwood.
MANY of the local health depart
ment personnel are served in this
way; material is mailed on the day
it is requested. Such service is also
gladly extended to any other re-
sponsibile person doing work of a
medical nature. The request may be
made for a specific book or journal
or it may ask that the Librarian Sc
lect late references covering the
subject desired. The library also
lends suitable materials to public
and school Libraries, thus providing
useful community service. Many
teachers have taken advantage of
the resources of the library.
The state board of health library
is indeed public health asset, in
the opinion of DR.. Underwood.
With the initiation of new programs
for health protection and the in
classification of long standing ones,
the library becomes more and more
the focal point for information and
inspiration.
