Lions Club Will Sponsor Operetta Local Doctors | Endorse Red | Cross Program o—- Recommend Home Nursing Classes 0 The doctors of Black Mountain and Swannanoa met Thursday eve ning with Miss Mell Claxton, Nursing Field Director of the Red Cross, to discuss the Home Nursing program now being carried out by the local chapter. The meeting was in charge of Dr. C. D. Thomas, second vice-chairman of the local Red Cross. Miss Claxton outlined the two courses in Home Nursing which after months of study have been revised and shortened so that it is now possible to complete the course in six lessons. Course num ber one is Nursing in the Home, and course number two is Mother and Baby Care. Each is taught by a registered nurse who has re ceived special training in Home Nursing. Two classes in Nursing in the Home have just been completed and a class in Mother and Baby Care with Miss Claxton as instruc tor is now being conducted. Those having had Red Cross Home Nurs ing training know what to do be fore the doctor comes and how to care for the patient during illness. The doctors present endorsed this program and expressed the hope that it might be extended throughout the entire community as soon as possible. It was pro posed that the Red Cross set up immediately a program that would inure one or more persons in each community neighborhood having Home Nursing Training, and the doctors agreed to cooperate by recommending these classes to their patients. The doctors participating in this meeting were: Anthony, Bittinger, Clapp, Cooley, Richardson, Tho mas, and Wood. Drs. Bell, Folson and Knoefel were unable to attend. Fire Assessments Fire assessments have been sent out by the city clerk’s office the past week. Residents outside the city who wish fire protection and who do not receive a notice should notify the city clerk’s office at once. As the fire department is self-supporting, it is necessary to make these assessments in order to keep the service up to its pre sent high standard. A drive to purchase a new fire truck this fall is proposed. This would in crease the efficiency of the orga nization.
