Hazelwood P.T.A.
Hears Discussion
By Trained Nurse
Mrs. J. R. McCracken, supervisor
of nursing of the district health
department, was the speaker at a
meeting of the Hazelwood Parent
Teacher Association held in the
auditorium' of the school Monday
evening.
Mrs. McCracken explained that
the county health unit is carried
on under the supervision of Dr. C.
N. Sisk with two field nurses in
the county. She said it is the duty
of these nurses to instruct families
in the care of the sick rather than
to do bedside nursing. In speaking
on "Mother and Baby Care", she
stressed the importance .of the
proper care of the mother.
Mrs. McCracken reported that'in
1941 there were 832 births in the
county, 15 still births, 51 deaths of
babies under one year of age, and
35 deaths of babies tinder one
month, while 81 mothers had re
ceived pre-natal care through the
county health department. "For
many years mothers had to depend
solely on private agencies for such
care," Mrs. McCracken said, "but
now there is everywhere an in
creasing number of public agencies.
She stated that the two nurses bad
made 201 visits over the county
during the year and urged parents
to take advantage of the things
the county health department has
to offer.
During the business session it
was decided to have the Febru
ary meeting on the first Monday
afternoon at 3:15 rather than Mon
day evening. This change in time
was made in compliance with the
school movement in the county to
conserve light, rubier and coal.
Lawrence Leatherwood.' princi
pal, announced that the dedication
of the new school building at Clyde
will be held on Thursday eveninir.
