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.
