COMMUNICATION
Juneau, Alaska, April 13.

Juneau, AlaSKa, RpIll lo.
 To the Editor:
 Theme for National Public Health Nursing Week which has started in Juneau is Help your public health nurse help your community" To put that slogan. to work, certain misap- prehensions must be corrected.
 Recent public opinion polls indi- cate that a very high majority of people that public health nursing is available only to the economically underprivileged, and also that pro- iessional nursing service is too ex- pensive to be considered by families of modest means.
 Both impressions are erroneous. It is true that public health nursing began as a visiting. nurse service to give home care to the "sick-poor. :" Public health nursing services in Juneau and vicinity still consider that one of their major responsi- Lilities is to see that the sick who are unable to pay for needed nurs- ing care get it at no expense to them. These free services are made possible by contributions from the citizens, and by payment of taxes.
 Tn addition, expert nursing care is given or demonstrated to anyone who needs it. All that the individ- ual or family has to do is telephone 218, Juneau Health Center, and ex- plain the situation. In this way pro- l fessicnal nursing care is within the reach of almost everyone. The availability of part-time nursing service makes it possible for doctors to send patients home from crowded hospitals earlier than they would otherwise. It means that invalids who do not need constant profes- sional care may remain safely at nome.
 ! To help Juneau as much as they can, public health nurses need fi- nancial support for their free work But the purpose of National Public  Health Nursing Week is not pri- marily to raise funds. It is to let each and every citizen in the con- munity, whether he is penniless oI 9 millionaire, know what public health nursing services are available to him. As she goes about the com munity the public health nurse, as well as caring for the sick, teaches good health practices, and discovers sources of infection that can be er- adicated. Extending her services is one of the best possible ways to help people keep well as well as get well.
