of friendship trust understanding and help And its the girls that make the clothes as the Vic torian Order of Nurses work for the county and the individual and administer bedside nursing care in over GO homes in the North area Two full time nurses and six relief or port time nurses work from the Branch of the VON and one of these nurs es serves full time in the north em area of county Mrs Gail head of the Barbara Klrkby and Mrs Eva Wands devote their time and in many cases their energy to working with young and Old alike and helping with injections dressings rehabilita Hon bathing and several other medical services provided by tbe association DOCTOR S ORDERS We will care for anybody said Mrs Gail amen for the group Whether they re rich or poor it fa of IK tie concern to us but cere is only given if a patient has been recommnded by a doctor to us she noted Anyone can refer patient to us but we must have orders from the family doctor before we visit a home The VON association depends largely on funds from tbe Oak extension a grant from VON Ontario and a county grant from to operate Last year the branch also received a grant from the town of Acton as extra monies were needed and support also comes directly from the United Appeal Canadian Cancer Soc iety Blue Cross insurance com panies and the Nurses Services Act It may seem like quite a considerable amount in one lump sum said Mrs but we increased from 300 pa in to 1 in and operated with a Idt last year CLUB DONATES CAR case load increase in the number of patients seeding treatment and care resulted In the hiring of another full time nurse who needed a car to her From VON funds the group purchased cars for the two nurses but Mrs Bed dome who works part time was also In need of an automobile Following

use serving the North area Miss Barb travels moro than 100 miles a day in the new auto visiting and helping pat She averages eight calls per day Almost per cent of all our patients are over SO years of noted Mrs Fees are paid according to what the patient can afford The majority of patients pay a por tion of the standard fee very few pay full fee and some pay no fee at all she continued What patients pay for service is confidential and each tion is assessed before a stand fee is set Patients who receive the VON service free arc usually pension ers or welfare recipients she explained All monies coming directly to the VON office are put Into one small pot and nurses wages and operation of the VON cars is taken directly from the lumped sum All nurses serving with the VON are graduates of rccognl zed nursing schools and several have had university tion before Joining the taff If we could get the space and a full time nurse from tho area we would certainly consider having an office in the northern sector tho county Mrs Bed do mo noted Tho case load in crease in that area certainly warrants a new office SPEAKS TO GROUPS In her spare time Mrs Bed dome visits clubs and service groups and speaks to interest persons on the work of the VON Recently she directed her conversation to the Georgetown Rotary Club tho previous week an Acton service group and next week who knows The
