WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920. a-- NURSING SERVICE 1S RAPIDLY EXPANDING This American Red Cross Work ~ Flourishing in Small Towns Throughout Country. More than 37,000 graduate nurses have been enrolled in the American Red Cross to date and its department of nursing is daily increasing this en- rollment, The department of nursing has been authorized to maintain an adequate reserve of nurses for the army and navy. It will continue to swpply the needs of the United Statc: Public Health Service to which it has as- signed more than 1,000 nurses in the last year. It will assist in establishing proper nursing service in foreign countries where the American Red Cross has or- ganized hospitals, dispensaries and schools for nurses. Courses in home hygiene and care of the sick have been started for thousands of women whgq have never received any education in this direction. Rural nursing which was in its infancy a short while ago has been put ahead at least a decade through the work of the department of nursing and local Red Cross chapters. Public health nursing has been ex- tended to many rural communities and now flourishes actively in hundreds of small towns and counties. Nearly a thousand efficient nurses have already been assigned to this kind of work. The department of nursing is unit- ing with other organizations in a year's campaign in recruiting nurses for training schools, in educating the gen- eral public as to standards of nursing education and in showing communities their responsibility toward schools of nursing. It will endeavor to meet all these needs as well as to continue the enrollment of dietitians who will be utilized as instructors in home dietet- ics, in developing nutritional clinics, and in supplying dietitians for the United States Public Health Service and the civilian hospitals. The Nursing Service will continue to offer to women and young girls the opportunity of securing instruetion in | home hygiene and care of the sick in every community in the country. instruction has not only laid the foun- dation for public health but in some This | places has given impetus to the estab- | lishment of hospitals and community | school houses, "As a community profits by the work of the nurse," says Miss Clara D. Noyes, director of the department of nursing, "it ts logical that the com- munity should be aroused te #ts respon- sibility. The American Red Cross stands ready to help in a general cam- paign of recruiting and must have the support, sympathy and understanding of the medical profession as well as the intelligent co-operation of the people at large." GAY SONGSTERS WIND UP WITH " THE UNLUCKY BLUES" John de Groot, Frank Werner and Joseph Schmitz, all of Gross Point, paid $1 and costs in Justice D. M. Mickey's Wilmette court Monday on a charge of disorderly conduct. The trio were arrested late Sun- day night at Lake and Ridge avenues by patrolman Brautigam of the Wil- mette department upon complaint of residents in the neighborhood who declined to tolerate an impromptu moonshine (used advisedly) concert. The lads occupied the = "for" rent apartments" at Wilmette police sta- tion over night and "The Unlucky Blues" echoed and reechoed through the hushed fastness of the village bastile.

Many people do not know that, be- sides completing the work for ex-serv- ice men, especially the disabled, it pro- vides the same neighborly service to families in general that it formerly gave families of soldiers, sailors and marines, [ soa happenings The Hawthorne Lane Circle will have its first meeting of the season on Tuesday, September 28, at 2:30 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Hugh B. McKenzie, 402 Hawthorne lane. sins The Four Corner Dancing club will hold their first dancing party of the season on Saturday evening, October "Home Service covers a wide and |9 varied field," says Frederick C. Mun- roe, general manager of the American Red Cross, "It gives aid to families in solving such problems as budget planning, marketing, tiding over times of financial stress, keeping children in school, helping crippled children, wid- owed backward in school and children in conflict with the laws. It renders serv- ice to the homeless and transient, to the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to the unemployed, and gives friendly as- sistance and advice to foreign speak- ing groups." In addition to helping families in the solution of their own problems, Home Service helps in strengthening the weak spots in the social life of communities. It joins hands with oth- ers to make communities safer, healthier and happier. Organizing action along lines in which the community is already inter- ested is one of the objects of Home Service. It has established community meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag- eants and picnics. Rest rooms, recre- ation facilities, play supervisors and moving pictures have been provided. Through Home Service other agencies are influenced to bring about improved commercial amusements and better school facilities and to promote travel- ing libraries as well as to secure coun- ty agricultural and home demonstra- tion agents. 2 If you need assistance at any time, go to the secretary of the nearest Red Cross chapter and describe the situa- tion.

FOR "CHANGE IN RULES" Petitions were being cihculated in Wilmette this week requesting the School Board to make "a change in the rules of the Public: School Man- agement...... to have the rules so re- vised that our children may be ex- cused for music lessons, outside of school, during school hours". The petition is sponsored by local music schools and teachers who de- clare that under the existing system their work is seriously hindered. Winnetka, it is pointed out, has de- vised a satisfactory arrangement in this regard, as have many other com- munities.
