Demand for Services In- creases and Enlarged Quarters Must Be Pro- cured Soon—Mrs: Rufus N. Hemenway Is Elected to President’s Chair. The association | held Visiting Nurse 24th annual meeting terday 30 o'clock at the home of the president, Mrs. Andrew J. Sloper, of Grove Hill. Mrs. Noah Lucas, treasurer, mitted the financtal report of the vear and commented upon some of | its at ves- | sub- the organization’s items of expense. | In spite of the 10 per cent cut in the year's estimated budget, which the United Community corporation found it' necessary to make, and the 7 per cent decrease in earncd in- come, the organization, througn cconomy, lived within its actual budget and left a balance of $6,000 with the United Community corpor- ation for probable use by other wel- | fare organizations. Mrs. Sloper mentioned the need for larger and more adequate qua ters for the association, which will have to be provided in the near fu- ture if further growth is permitted, or if the Boys' club requires the| present property to deveop its work. | No action was taken, however. | Mrs, Louis Young, chairman of the nurses’ committee, reported on! the year's work of that committes which has had to do with raising| and maintaining requircments for nurse appointments, adjusting | nurses' salaries, considering general policies of the association, and look- ing forward to the future develop- ment of the work. The committee held fourtecen mectings during the year. Cost of Automobiles Mrs. Ernest Smith, a member of the automobile committee, reportel on the maintenance of the four cars of the association. Iach car tra cls an average of 441 miles per| month, or 16 miles per working day with an average operating cost per car of $47.17 (exclusive of deprec ation, but including storage, care, gasoline, oil, grease, alcohol, repairs, new equipment, insurance, licenses and accidents.) Mrs. Harry Hine, chairman of the Child Welfarc committee, reported a total attendance of 3551 babies at the four well baby conferences throughout the year with volunte assistance”at $4 per cent of all con- ferences and Dr. Slysz present at 7 per cent of all conferenc Nursing Service Report The report of the nursing service was given by the nurse director, Miss Rachel C. Colby and follows in part: “The 24th year of the association’s | history has just passed. An average of 11.5 field nurses on duty cach day of the year made a total of 31,451 visits ta prenatal patients, mothers during confinement and after; to well babies, to surgical and medical patients; to old men and old women in their last illnesses; to children with diphtheria and scartlet fever, measles and pneumonia; to patients with venereal diseases and those who | needed assistance in mental health. “Three thousand more visits were made last year than during the previous by an increase of an average of one nurse per day; 4 new patients were admitted (exclu- sive of 697 pre-school children) or 441 more new patients than during | the previous yea “The organization was 49 self-supporting. only $1 been drawn from munity per cent | 000 having | the United Com- Corporation, in spite of the fact that the total carned income de- creased by seven per cent over last year. “During the past five years the proportion of income from the United Community Corporation has dropped from 50 per cent to 36 per cent and the proportion of self sup- e ————— STOMACH UPSET Get at the real cause.

The organization has not yet charged the full cost of a vet, because of the careful records and cost studies which are made cach year the insurance companies | pay the full cost of a nursing visit to their policy holders and the organi- zation record of self support is in direct proportion to the increase in fees received from the insurance “The ability of the organization to ence would appear to completely ded supervision, and clerical assist- ance, and the maintenance of four Dodge automobiles for the outlying gections of the city. Child Welfare Division “By particular services, the child welfare division of the organization the well baby conferences by 13 per | cent. 3,351 visits to the four con- ferences were made by babies and their mothers during the year against 3,151 the previous year. The however, dropped from 21 babies to | 17, which though small cannot be | said to be wholly “The home however, atisfactory. | visits to well babics, showed marked in- crease; 8,868 having been made anst 1,174 the preceding )mr! That number more nearly approach- cs a good minimum standard of one | visit to every well baby every month until he is one year old and then every three months until he goes to school, unless he is attending a pre- school conference, or is under the | care of a doctor. “For the first time in the history | of New Britain, organized effort was | made in the summer of 1929 to offer free physical examinations to all children who were going to ent school in the fall. The local Parent and Teachers' association in con- junction with the state department a few local doctors and the visiting nurses conducted 16 | clinics, examined 697 children and found 2,879 defects of variable ser- iousness. The visiting nurses made 1.398 visits to the children’s homes, or an average of two visits per| child to assist in securing the indi- | cated corrections. 528 of the chil- | dren were said to have had thelr condition improved. while 169 en- tered school without any improve- men or correction. “The cost of that servic: ‘ the Visiting Nurse was determined to be $1.0 though it was given frecly tribution to the health work of the community. (By way of comment, the pre-school medical cxaminations were conducted this year by the school medical department without outside assistance). “Visits to prenatal patients rhow- ed an increased of 600 or 39 per a rendered soaiation 59.66 al as a con- \can over last year.

I cannot find Nurses’ Standards Raised “In May 1929 requirements for staff appointment were raised to make graduation from an accredited high school obligatory in addition to graduation from a recognized school of nursing. Raising the standards was not retroaction and the six nurses already on the staff, who did not meet the new high school re- quirements were retained. It was urged, however. that they should at- | tempt to complete their high school at their earliest opportunity. In con- nurses did make the at- | tempt to go to Hartford evening high school, but only two were able to complete their work and qualify | for their first state examination this | spring. One other staff nurse has at- | tended business college in Hartford | regularly during the winter. “One hundred and sixty-one days have been lost by nurses through illness as compared with 90 days lost last vear.
