many as you want to cut out and
paint. A circus tent big enough
for little boys and girls to get in

the most exciting Christmas you
can imagine, and fun for months
and months to come. The tent fits
over a card table, and may be
folded away in a jiffy. The ami

a jolly note to the children's room.

The Judge rode slowly down the lane
Smoothing his horses chestnut

He heard the voice; q tight rein

For fear his horse might hear 1t toe.
He drew his bride I'm the shade
And listened to the gabby maid:

Is that way over what's her manner"
The Judge he blushed and turned
about
And hauled his walkie-talkie out.

"Unless you speedily retract;
All gossip abhor and hate
But here's q tip that's pretty
straight:
That Muller girl know who

From all that scent and all that

Maud Muller looked and sighed,
"Ah me
I guess that comes reliably;
The dope is, Judge, you're in the

And for you I would gladly CO."
The Judge gave Maud q look quite

And welded wife of richest dover.

On the new-mown hay in the mead

GOOD NEWS FOR DEAF

GOOD NEWS FOR DEAF
Walkie-talkies for all are going
into production at popular prices.
Don't say you weren't warned!
The news is depressing. What
America needs is less talk. not
more.
The basic American idea used to
be that man should never sound
off until sure he is right. The rule
of the hour is to say it now and
verify it later.
The war brought the menace of
the atomic bomb, but the threat of
the walkie-talkie in everyday life
will run a close second. 1t adds
fuel to the gas bags. Thousands of
people who have had to be some
what quiet win now be able to throw
their voices all over the fields and
hills.
It is declared that the walkie-
ta1Sie will be a boon to farmers,
hunters, truck drivers, etc. The
truck driver already is too busy lis
tening to the radio to keep his mind
on his driving, without being given
the opportunity to phone while in
motion.
And as for the hunters, they used
to go into the woods for silence. Are
they now to go into them for argu-
ment and rebuttal?
We tremble at the influence Of the
walkie-tallzie in farm life. The farm
ers have been pretty taciturn lot.
Now the farmer in the dell, the
milkmaid and Little Bo Peep will
all be so busy jabbering away at one
another that not COW will get
MIXED.
Quick. Gideon, the ear laps!
Maud Muller and the
Walkie-Talkie
("When the ,oalkie-talkies go into pro.
ductiOn, as they soon ,UiH on big scale,
it is expected they iUiH be of great help

Maud Muller on a summer day
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
With walkie-talkie at her side
She threw the gossip far and wide.

PUBLIC INTEREST
 AID TO NURSING
Public Health Nursing Services Has Assistance
 of Lay Persons

Interested citizens make valuable
 contributions to public health nurs- ing, declared Hazel V. Dudley, R. N,
 B. S., Director Bureau of Public Health Nursing, and Mrs. Howard Gibb, Board Member, Hartford Visiting Nurse Association, in the weekly Connecticut State Depart ment of Health broadcast over Sta ton WTIC. Private individuals lend their influence to the estab- lishment of public health nursing organizations in their communities. Through newspaper publicity and other means, interest in the need for this valuable service is aroused. In many localities, lay groups also conduct fund raising campaigns for the support of public health nurs- ing.
 Policy making is another import ant function performed by inter- ested citizens. Board members de- termine what public health nursing services are to be offered, and de- S1NlS W1ISU4lCA O1AS14 d6SllCy VIII III clude communicable disease and school nursing activities in its pro- gram. The board is also respon- sible for policies which apply to the professional staff. such as quail fcations, sick leaves, and vaca- tions. It is the duty of the various board members to be informed of the health problems of their com and to work toward provid- ing sufficient nurses to meet these problems.
 Despite the current nursing shortage, the interest, guidance and assistance of lay persons has en- abled public health nurses to pro- vide a maximum amount of service. Volunteers performing tasks not re- quiring professional training, have permitted fullest use of the public health nurses Skills.
