Home Nursing
Classes Finished
Six Home Nursing classes taught
by Miss Mildred Wleden. Red
Cross Instructor, were completed
F: iday. The classes were taught
| in the following communities
where there are Home Demonstra
tion Clubs located:

ble. Slow Creek, and Unaka.
Sixty-five women reccivcu cer
tificates and ninety-three were
enrolled. A total of 117 textbooks
were bought. This has been con
sidered exceptionally good, con
sidering the distance the women
had to go. the busy season, and
the weather.

and interested in the classes. It
just means that these women are
better prepared to take care of
sickness in their homes and" Com
munity." says Home Agent Alline
R. King.
Plans are being made to teach 6
more classes in the fall: The com
munities where Home Demonstra
I tlon Clubs are located that show
| the greater interest and signs of
being able to sponsor a class will
be the next 6 that are chosen in
I ihe fall.
A Home Nursing Committee is

is to keep the good work oF Home
t Nursing going throughout the
