Willett, jr, director Cold Remedy of the Chest, pointed out that the allocation of funds for three addi- tional nurses brings the Chest con- tribution to the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society to $118431.56, the largest amount that this organization | has received from Chest funds since | affiliating with the Chest in 1929. He called attention to the fact that this | allocation is in addition to the earned income of the society. | “We know that the need for more nurses exists.” Willett said. “Dr.| Ruhland, District health officer, has | stated repeatedly that the District needs three times as many public | health nurses as it now has. and that | his own department is seriously un- dermanred. ' “The Community Chest is doing its best to meet the situation with the funds available. While the Chest fell | more than $200,000 short of its goal for 1337, we are still giving the In- structive Visiting Nurse Society more | than two and one-half times the amount it raised by direct gifts and eolicitation in 1928, the last year be- fore it joined the Chest. Funds Have Increased. *In 1928 the public of Washington eontributed by direct gifts $46,000 to the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society. In 1929 the Chest, which took over | the solicitation for the direct gifts to | this agency as well as 56 others, paid | the nurses $63.000. This was raised to £78,000 in 1930; to $84,000 in 1931; to $103,000 in 1932, and to $111,000 | in 1933, the peak year of the de- pression. In 1934 the nurses received only $102,000 from the Chest. The P. E. R. A. was paving for care of | persons on relief, who would other- | wise have been a Chest. expense. Chest funds to the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society were increased to $109,000 in 1935; to $116,808.56 in 1936, and to £118.431.56 for the coming year. “The Chest is doing everything humanly possible to meet the welfare situation in Washington. It is a fed- eration of 65 welfare agencies, each | with equal rights, in proportion to the type and extent of service rendered, | in the disposition of its funds. Again | it must be considered that the amount | asked by the Chest for these 65 agen- | cies was not raised. The work of all | has been curtailed, but the Chest has | not reduced the amount of funds dedicated to public nursing.” | Retreatmaster Named. Right Rev. Pulton J. Sheen of Catholic University will be retreat- Mmaster at an evening of recollection, to be held next Tuesday at the Wash- | ington Retreat House, 4000 Harewood | road northeast, for the women of As-| sumption and St. Stephen's parishes.
