WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1920 Churches Will Honor Florence Nightingale One Hundredth Anniversary of Founder of Modern Nursing To Be Celebrated in the Local Churches An important event in history will} be celebrated on Wednesday, May 12, in the midst of the Illinois Health Promoton Week, May 9--15. On that day will be celebrated the one hun- dredth anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. That event, of it- self, will furnish a splendid theme for essays by the pupils in the various grades of the schools of the state. Florence Nightingale, in 1868, sent out the following impassoned call to her countrywomen: "Oh my fellow countrywomen, why do you hang back? We are beset with offers for trained nurses and trained superin- tendents and we canmot fill them. I would I could go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in" Local ministers have been asked to mention the Florence Nightingale Centennial in their sermons of Sun- day, May 9. The Illinois Depart- ment of Public Health has also asked them to devote their sermons on that day, the opening day of the Illinois Health Promotion Week, to health topics. The life and achievements of Florence Nightingale, coupled with suggestions on the necessity of pub- lic health nursing and medical super- vision in the schools of the state, furnish thoughts for masterful ser- mons; sermons that will teach young and old how to live; sermons that will realistically portray the beauty of the story of tre Good Samaritan. Church and stat, press and pulpit, civic and local organizations, busi- ness men, parent: and school chil- dren, all have a place in the exercises of the week, the sole aim of which is to place every cummunity on the broad, safe foundation of good health.

That's the official police definition of "improper dancing." Boston police have been censoring dancing in the tearoom of one of Boston's exclusive hotels. Lieutenant Mulligan of the Back Bay station de- scribed what kind of dancing to stop as written above. "But what is immorality--the kind you have in mind?" inquired an in- quisitive "cop." "I should = say," began Mulligan, very deliberately, "I should say cheek to cheek dancing; scissors steps, where the couples dance with the legs touching closely, hugging, and placing of hands in improper posi- tions." "Oh, I see, I see," said the cop. Our plant is vomplats for everything i ne of printing and first grade work Ask us you need in the we can assure you on Hammermill stock.
