NO. 172 VALUE OFRED CROSS EVIDENT N COMMUNITY Heard at Monthly Meeting of Executives Show True Value Repcrts MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TO BE STAGED HERE SOON Funds Are to Be Raised to Continue Good Work Done This Year e The regular monthly meeting of the executive committee of the Red Cross was held in the association rooms Monday afternoon. Items of expenditure consisting of “Clean-Up Squad” expense and county fair ex- pense were allowed and the monthly report of Miss Beth MacGregor, nurse, received. The repart of Miss MacGregor for the months of September and Octo- ber reveal the tremendous amount of work which has been accomplished by the Red Cross society through her. Without doubt, an epidemic was pre- vented in East Bemidji by the work! of Miss MacGregor, which otherwise would have assumed the proportions of a city-wide scourge, and would have entailed a very large expense to the city besides jeopardizing the lives| of many people. In September, Miss MacGregor's report shows, the following visits made: nursing visits, 29; infant wel- fare visits, 5; prenatal visits, 4; tubey— culosis visits, 10; child welfare vis- its, 3; visits to schools, 2; service calls, 6; social service visits, 2; attend- ance at Northern Minnesota fair, 3 days, during which time about 900 children were weighed and measurgd; visits on sanitary inspection and in- vestigating source of diseases, 23; other visits, with aid furnished, 3. Miss MacGreor attended the child welfare meeting at Hibbing; quar- *antined five -homes for diptheria, scar- let fever and typhoid fever; assisted the school nurse in inspecting the pu- pils in East Bemidji and Lincoln schools; took throat and nose cul- tures of 35 people; assisted the Clean- Up Squad for two days; inve:stlgnted a tuberculosis case at Tenstrike and had X-ray pictures taken of three tu- berculosis patients. Similar work was done in Ogtober: five chickenpox, 8 whooping-cough and nine diptheria patients were tak- en care of; 429 cultures taken; 48 in- fectious disease visits made and 65 Visits of similar nature to those in September. She also accompanied a boy to the University hospital in con- nection with treatment for a cleft plate, and took a girl to the Owatonna school for girls. Arrangements have also been made for nine clinics to be held in the coun- ty in which Miss MacGregor -will as- sist. A membership drive will be held in the near future by the society under the divection of Rev. L. P. Warford, and funds needed to carry on the work in a similar manner to the past year will be raised. The large amount of valuable work done with the funds available has cvidenced the importance of contin- uing it, and it is hoped by the ofince;‘s of the society that the response will be generous.
