Moore (fkrleft) who is the• only full -time VON, nurse on staff in • Huron. She is responsible for that part of the county ..south..of Walton and Blyth. She is assisted on -a <part time basis by Mrs. Louis Sloan of McKillop. Otter part time nurses serve the Goderich, Wingham and .Brussels area. A native of London, WA, Moore lives -In Sea- forth where her husband teaches history at S.O.B,S. Mrs. Moore operates out of an office in Olintop and the service the VOINI provides , is on the basis Of 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An answering service monitors calls and routes them to the appro- priate ,nur se. , On the ,left are the four VON nurses who went to the Klondike in 1898, Mar- garet Payson, Rachel H anna r ,G• eorgea P owell , and Amy Scott. Hospital including the townships of McKillop, Bullet, Tuckersmith in Huron County and Hibbert - and Logan in Perth. Clinton also was included. July of 19'72 brought two new changes for the VON. The once one-nurse branch now became three full-time nurses and at the same time, the all-inclusive name Perth-Huron Branch of VON became official. As well as the two 'full time nurses in Stratford and one in the sub office in Clinton, there- are six part ' time nurses, employed. Listowel, Wingham, Seaforth and Goderich now have a part time VON living in the community and• serving the surrounding area. Another new development in 1973 which involves the VON right across Canada, is the intrd, duction of a new symbol: - "The VON in the Home". Today the Perth-Huron branch serves 1,954 square miles. In 1972 the branch made 2,945 visits to more than 515 patients. While nursing care in the patient's home is the core of the VON service, they are in- volved in many other activities. It provides the nursing service for the Home, Care Program in both Perth and Huron. Assess- ments of the needs of patients for the Canadian Cancer Society are done and the most recent activity undertaken 'by the VON in the area is the paramedical examinations for Insurance com- panies.

In "irea of Perth-Miran thereare numer- ous people in the 70's and up trying to maintain themselves at home. Many are lonely, unable to get out. The VON nurse is often one of the fewpeople they see during a whole week. They ,need help :in simple things, such as, shopping, running little errands, fixing some minor thing in the house, or just someone -to drop in and say "how are you?' Financially, the •VDIV is sup- ported in• various ways, such as:-Fees paid diredtly by the patient or through a health scheme, such as Blue Cross, which cover nursing service. Service fees are also paid through the Home C are Program, the. Homemakers & Nurses Ser- vices Act- and Department of Veterans Affairs. Grants came from various municipalities as well as the county-. • Voluntary funds are provided through the United Community Fund of Stratford. Care is never refused due to the persons Inability to pay. Either the VON strives • to obtain assistance for the patient through one of the recognized programs or the nurse works out with the family, a fee per visit which they can afford to pay. In 1972 only 17% of the total revenue of the Perth-Huron branch was received ' through nursing fees paid by the patient.

Because they were attached to a Canadian military expedition the. nurses took an all-Canadian route through northern British Columbia (most of 'the miners reached . the Klondike through American territory in Alaska). They were 14 days on the trail, averaging 11 miles a day. one other, woman accompanied the party - Miss Faith Fenton, a reporter for the Toronto Globe. Miss Georgea Powell, who headed the team of nurses, des- cribed her trip in graphicterms: • "From mountain to swami:, to bog we went, bogs into whose cold, damp, mossy depths we would sink _to our knees, and under which the ice still remains; swamps where we trampled down bushes and shrubs to make foot- eng for ourselves, and where the mules stuck many times, often as many as 20 down all at once, sometimes having to be unpacked to be 'taktn Out, our baggage dumped In the mud, and ,where tDe mosquitoes , held high - ireVelry". Word of the nurses' journey spread quickly and many sick and injured miners were brought considerable distances to places where it was known the party would camp. ' As if the land journey were not bad enough, the nursing team became separated in a boat wreck on one bf the rivers. Miss powell was taken ahead to Dawson where she at once took Charge of the Good Samaritan HoSpital, as "matron, teacher, nurse and maid of all work". Typhoid was, at its height. The patients had in many cases • walked as far as 12 miles from their diggingsin the broiling sun "with their temperatures rang- ing from 101 to 104 degrees, their strength often falling be- fore 'leaching hospital". Miss Powell found that sickness wasn't the only problem. • Filth And vermin were everywhere and it cost four dollars to ;have a blanket washed. When the -three other'nurses arrived they found Miss Powell herself down with typhoid in her little tent • beside the hospital. Her bed was a postal sack filled .with shavings, laid on boards. Lady Aberdeen, wife of the then Governor General of Canada and the Victorian Order's firqt president, had held an informal .-dinner at Government House in Ottawa when the nurses left for the Klondike. Like the gold rush itself, their servioe in the Klondike was short-lived. The Order's Board of Governorb de-• ation; one • has been aptiotnted superintendent of a hospital at Dawson with the consent `1' the Victorian Order; one has taken a position at the post office and the district superintendent, Miss Powell, remains at work until the spring allows her to be trans-- •ferred to another post where her services will be more required in view of the great diminution of the population of Dawson". Miss Powell later retired and was paid $250 In lieu of travel- ling expenses, as she decided to remain in Dawson City. The VON's "Klondike Expedition" was over, but 7.5 years of nurs- ing service "was just beginning. Although the Perth-Harm) Branch of the VON is not one of the original groups in-Canada, • it does go back quite away. The VON came to Stratford in 1908. It was a one-nurse branch with • one nurse serving the community. Expansion took place as the needs of the various' Communities arose, Mitchell was one of the first areas involved. Then in 1966 the communities of St, Marys, Sebringviile, Shakes- peare and Tavistock came under the VON's service. By 1971,, when the Home Care Program was established In' Seaforth, the Stratford VON branch was asked to extend its boundaries to include Seaforth and the area served by Seaforth Community Supplied eed Serviced By M.
