BUSY YEAR FOR VISITING NURSES Many Cases Handled and Much Aid Gives to the Poor The report of the Visiting Xurses' Association made public last night announces that during the past year, the workers have handled 1,220 new cases and 41 old cases. A total of 617 cases were Investigated by the workers during the year In addition to 704 social service cases. Instruc tion was given to 308 and 221 -.-hlld welfare cases were cared for. The report of Miss Mary V. Mil ler, superintendent, follows In part: "The war has brought, through the loss of nutny doctors and nurses, new and great responalbllltles for the visiting nurse. In private practice, one doctor is often covering the work of three or four. This means that the visiting nurses become the guar dians of the health of the people. Another question brought to the front by the war, because of the shortage of doctors and private nurses. Is that of having nurses, night and day, to attend confinement cases. The services of the stafT haye been enlisted In giving nursing visits to 7.636 patients. The association Is co operating with the Red Cross In car ing for the sick In the homes of the men who have been called to colors. Red Cross Aid The Harrlsburg chapter of the Red Cross, by furnishing surgical gause, cotton und oakum pads, pneumonia jackets, and bandages, has enabled the nurses to reach the home and re lieve the suffering of many people by their timely aid. During the recent epidemic cf In fluenza, the office staff of the Red Cross gave their services by helping to obtain doctors arid nurses for Har rlsburg and the surrounding coun ties. The volunteer automobile service, night and day for two weeks enabled us to meet promptly the needs of the sick. Hospital Service The hospital social service work, owing to the government and war de mands for nurses, was only partlcally carried on for half of the year. The hospital social service d-'part ment must be maintained. The wound ed and sick soldiers and sailors have to undergo reconstruction, mental and physical, and so do sick civilians; if we are to have a strong healthy people. The Red Cross Home Ser vice Department is working out a plan to cover this need of the sol diers and sailors In the hospttals. to visit and keep In touch and sym pathy with their families In their homes. Girl's Aid Society The work of the Girls' Aid Society has met all the needs notwithstanding their depleted ranks. The soaring scale of prices of drugs and surgical supplies was met by the co-operation of the superintendent of the H&rrlaburg Hospital, furnish-: Ing them eit coat. During the year the Sunshine So- ! clety gave willing support for Ot-lh- j opaeillc treatment anil apparatus for ' eighty-two crippled patients. In | many cases their board was paid j while they were being treated In the hospitals of Philadelphia. After war—reconstruction—to help build a broken world, all human en all social forces must be used (o the fullest possible extent. The Sunshine Society cripples' handicap Is often an Incurable dis ease or defect, such as heart-trouble, epilepsy, or paralysis, making the patients more difficult to cars for and adjust occupatlonally. But they, as well as the army if Industrial cripples, owe an Immeas urable debt to the soldiers and sail ors, for bringing about a better at titude of mind on the part of the community toward the handlcnpped. In the living arrangements of the society, Itself, we found this year, that the war prices and the shortage of labor have necessitated a read justment, making It necessary, the tlrst of November, to give up the home as a boardinghouse, and con tinue our work In offices In the Ar cade building on trial. I"ure Milk The annual report of the Dure Milk Society made by Mrs. Knchael B. Kunkel Fox, secretary, follows: "Our babies' welfare work proyes that It Is found economy to ivduec the sickness and death rate among babies, and to Improve the coming generation by measures which will keep the baby and mother well. We pledge to be a baby's friend. "Dr. Taylor and Dr. Marshall, with their many other press'.nir war duties, gave their services to the milk sta tions, weighed and examined the babies, and gave consultation and advice during the summer. "When it was Impossible to obtain a room for St. raul's .-nation In the district in which It wis needed, Mr. Henry McCormlck came to our rescue and .kindly loaned us the property at 1217 North Eleventh street. This tilled our urgent need. "Owing to the government de mands and the increased war work for nurses, the ealls upon the m'.lk station necessitated many changes In the nursing staff. We were able to carry on the work by the valuable volunteer services of the Red Cross first-aid nurses. Two teachers of Dr. Taylor's flrst-ald class did clerical duty at the milk stations, gavs vol unteer services In the homes, and gave the milk station nurses all the assistance In their power. Where sanitary conditions were very bad. the parents were ..ersuaded to meet the retirements of the law and make the home livable for the baby. The nurses have carried the gospel of proper feeding, fresh air, and clean liness. If the babies are to be per manently saved, this gospel noist bo preached twelve months of the year. Then when the hot summof- months come the babies will hove the ac quired resistance, and the mothers will know hoy to euro for them. Therefore I make an earnest plea to our kind friends to help us obtain this Child Welfare Nurae for the en tire year. "Just to show how very much the milk stations are appreciated one mother brought her baby regularly to the station from Hlghsplre. and another woman, a soldier s wife, brought her baby, which was des perately 111, all the way from Dun cannon, until the baby was brcught back to normal health. "During July, 402 quarts. 1 pint of milk were furnished: August, 1.064 quarts, 1 pint: September, ?46 quarts, 1 pint, making a total of 1.&73 quarts of milk which we furnished to the mothers at one-half price. "The report shows that the hearty co-operation and the services .f the mothers were the means of saving many babies' lives. This Is proof that the milk station Is one jf.the best means of spreading the knowl edge of education among mothers. "The perplexed mother could bring her baby and be helped by syflipa thetlc, medical advice, free. The babies showed a marked Improve- | ment with the medical advice and supervision during the hot weather. | "All classes, rich and poor alike, • are benefited and helped uy the so ciety. In lowering the rate of in fant mortality in the city, the society , and doctors are to bo congratulated j on their accomplishment of the turn- j mer's work."
