LEGION AUXILIARY PLANS TO
ORGANIZE NURSING COURSE

ems clubs and organizations in
this locality have received word
from the Red Cross as to the wis
dom of taking such a course, and
members of any group may join
the proposed class which the Leg
ion Auxiliary hopes to get start
ed in the near future. Even tho
women were trained in such a
course in previous years it is wise
to brush up on the techniques and
learn new ones. Civil defense or
carnations are also interested in
the value to women of such
training in case of emergency.
During the month of December
the Delaware Red Cross reported
that there were IL classes in pro-
gress. one new class was organ
lied, five classes completed the
course, and a total of 300 stu
dents have enrolled to date, with
a total of 81 certificates issued
to date. Mrs. Edith Kendall is
director of the home nursing SER
vices for Red Cross.

At the meeting of the Auxil-
iary to the David c. Harrison
Post, No. IA, American Legion,
held at the home of Mrs. Grant
G. Garis, it was decided to try
to organize a home nursing class
under the direction of the Della
ware Chapter, American Red
Cross. The plans would call for
a trained worker to be sent by
Red Cross headquarters one night
week for the duration of the
course to teach the fundamentals
of home nursing. In each house
hold there is likely to be men,
ber requiring nursing care at the
home, and this would be a won
derful opportunity to acquire such
knowledge free of cost. Any wo-
man in the Snyrna-Clayton COM
