B. llougham, superintendent of schools, to determine if there will be a county nurse employed this year. Mrs. Kit hea WHiitesides, who is in charge of the work of the County Tuberculosis Association, is very desirous of the choice of a county nurse hk soon as possible in order that she may have some assistance on projects of the as-sooiation which she started some weeks ago. It is reported that there is some contention among the township trustees and one or two have te-fused their support to the proposed county nurse plan.

They are of the opinion that their townships will bo unable to carry the, added burden of the salary of the nurse. Red Cros6 May Help Tiie county Red Cross organization will probably he asked to cooperate with the plan and to eon-tribute a certain sum toward the salary of the nurse. As yet this plan has not been adopted but will probably be discussed at the meeting of the township trustees Monday afternoon. The Red Cross was largely instrumental in securing a county nurse two years ago but last year the trustees of several of the townships refused their support and a nurse was not secured. With these facts in view, if the lied Cross pledges any financial aid this year, the trustees will more than likely be forced to ngree to terms as set forth by the organization.

County Superintendent II. B. llougham has done everything in his power toward the securing of a county nurse and the meeting Monday will be a culmination of his efforts. MRS. ROSALINE P.
