The teams are named after that high school, i.e., the West team and the North team), and each team nurse is Public health nurses on the West Team are: (back row) Doris Orr and Michelle Horton and (front row) Judy Craddock and Linda Hill. to recognition and honor. But that wasn't the case two weeks ago during National School Nurse Day. Nurses around the country were honored on Wednesday, Jan. 22, for their hard work and dedication to their craft and the individuals they help. According to Barbara Carter, the public health nursing supervisor at the Reynolds Health Center, the National School Nurse Day was "a day to recognize the school nurse for all the good things she does to serve the community and the children in the school and our community." The nurses certainly appreciate their special day and the recognition they receive from the community and their co-workers. "It's always nice to be recognized," said Public Health Nurse Linda Hill. 'The agency had a special day for us, and had a little breakfast type gathering, and gave us each a balloon with a little basket of candy. It's always nice to feel special.

According to court documents, she was denied credit by NCNB in October 1990. Ms. Canty, a wholesale and retail business operator in Atlanta, was denied a loan by C&S Sovran Corp., according to court docu ments. The plaintiffs contend their requests for loans were denied despite successful business ven tures. Ralph Scales, president of the Goldsboro group* claims the lend ing practices of the NCNB are dis criminatory and its refusal to invest money in his corporation is racially based. The bank contends in court documents the lawsuit was filed "for the improper purpose of harassment and generating adverse publicity." The bank's attorneys have asked a U.S. District Court judge to dismiss the case. They have requested that the court force the North Carolina Communities Empowerment Socio-Economic Corp. to pay the bank's attorney fees.

During the visit, they are responsible for check ing immunization and medication records of the students, performing medical screening for vision and hearing, counseling, and checking up on ill students.
