Honored by Miners 1 A Public Health Nurses Receive Praise For Their Work During April 8th to 13th FULL EFFECT of the soft coal miners' walkout was not felt on April 1 no fooling because the miners in Pennsylvania and West Virginia were traditionally celebrating John Mitchell Day, In honor of the man (above), who headed the United Mine Workers when the 8-hour day was established. (International) Mice Evict Farmer From Orchard John T. Wall of l.ilcsville, Anson county, knows how it feels to be dispossessed. Field mice have literally evicted Wall front his own orchard, (0 ai res of w hat had been line apple trees in the only commercial or chard in the county. During the 1946 planting season, according to a report by Assistant Anson County Agent Clarence Karlv. it was necessary to replace about 200 trees throughout the or chard. It was discovered in mov ing dead trees that mice had caused the damage. "About four years ago," Early laid. "Mr. Wall began to lose trees. Losses continued lor two years until he found that mice were at the bottom of it. The infestation of mice is quite heavy, especially on sandy soils where it is easier for rodents to dig in under trees. make beds and feed from the tree roots. In 1944 the entire orchard was littered with slrvchnine-treat- ed oats and results in dead mice were good. There were virtually no mice last year but because of short labor, the orchard was not treated and again the rodents mov ed in, killing 140 trees. "Now. the entire orchard has been treated against mice and Mr. Wall, who has bought a pressure- spray outfit, is conducting a thor ough spring spraying campaign to protect trees from insects and disease." Pvt. James D. Kelly Arrives In Naples The Classified Advertisements Private James D. Kelly, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Kelly, of Waynesville, Route 1, has arrived safely in Naples, and has been assigned to the 3485th Ordnance, M.A.M. Co., a unit of the Peninsu lar Iiase section of the army serv ice force in Italy, according to information received from the post. Pvt. Kellv was transported to the 7th replacement depot for process ing according to army skill ana civilian specially. Within 36 hours he boarded the train for Leghorn and upon arriving at the latter he was sent to the first staging area to be transported to his assigned unit in the near vicinity. The Peninsular Base section has a record of uniterruplcd service in this theater extending over three years. Pvt. Kelly was a student at the Wavncsville Township high school at the time he entered the service on June 20th, 1945. He took his basic training at Camp Wheeler, Ga., before being sent overseas. Lillian Wald, of East Side, New York, is to the public health nurses what Florence Nightingale is to nurses, as independently of public health movements she developed the first nursing service. She dem onstrated to the Board of Kduca tion that communicable diseases could be controlled. She adapted her techniques and skills of the hospital to what could be done in the home. At the beginning of the 1900's the public health nurse assumed the role which she is still playing and will continue to play. In endorsing Know Your Public Health Nurse Week, Dr. Parian, surgeon general, U. S. Public Health Service, states "America today faces a healthier future as a result of the great strides made in this field of medical service during World War II. But this added medical knowledge can be used ad vantageously only if prevention, as well as cure receives its proper emphasis. For this reason the ob servance of Know Your Public Health Nurse Week takes on added significance at this time. Public health nurses play an important part in the prevention of disease, the control of epidemics, the early detection of remediable defects, and the adoption of good health habits by school children and adults." The public health nurse is pri marily a family health worker. As such her responsibility to patient, family and community includes the following duties: To demonstrate nursing care to the sick and to teach home nurs ing. To secure the most favorable conditions possible for the patient such as diet and sanitary condi tions. To observe the health of each member of the family and to ar range for physical examination and necessary treatment. Special atten tion is given to poorly nourished children, and to those suffering from physical defects. To instruct the family as to healthful habits, especially as re lating to food, clothing, cleanliness, rest, exercise, recreation, fresh air and mental attitude, the ultimate object being positive health for each member. To work toward the improve ment of general standards of bv ing and the adjustment of any family problems by personal effort Kelley Brothers Who Served Together In Pacific Discharged SSgt. James .1. Kelley and Cor poral Robert Kelley, sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Kelley, of Waynes ville, who served together in the Pacific theater have both been dis charged and have arrived home. The brothers wore both attached to the 90th Field Artillery, of the 25lh Division and served nearly a year in the Pacific. Cpl. Kelley was in the taxi busi ness at the time he entered the service in 1944 and Sgt, Kelley held a position with Hyatt Lumber yards. Both men are entitled to wear the Asiatic-Pacific theater ribbon, the Philippine Liberation medal. the Good Conduct and the Victory medal. Held As Traitor and by cooperation with other agencies. To assist in the prevention and control of communicable disease in the community; by seeing that all cases are reported; teaching families to recognize the import ance of early symptoms, and to protect themselves and the com munity from its's spread; report ing all unsanitary conditions to the Health Department. Modern medical science has scored tremendous gains in pre venting sickness, saving human life. Yet in spite of this growing fund of medical knowledge and tkill, too much preventable sick ness still persists, too many physi cal defects go neglected. The results of this past World War's Selective Service examina tions have shocked the nation. That half of the first three million young men were rejected for gen eral military service is a tragic commentary on the health record of the nation, but doubly tragic because many of the defects might have been prevented or corrected in infancy or childhood. These intensive health examina tions have pointed up the vital imnnr tance of bringing the re search laboratory to the home, the j school and industry. They have demonstrated that ways must be found to translate medical service into terms easily understood by each individual and applicable to his way of life. He must be shown the urgency of the early action, bow to carry out medical direc tions, when to find and how to find and how to use community health resources. In short, these examinations for the military have understood the indispensable value of adequate public health nursing services for every community throughout the nations (minimum of one public health nurse for every 5,000 population or the rec ommended one nurse for every 2,000 population!.
