promote relaxation both during
the prenatal stage and the birth

information on nutrition, growth
of the baby, health, heredity and
the process of birth.
Informal
Informal discussions and ques
tion periods were encouraged
and a practise period for the ex
ercises included with each lec
ture. The course was held over
a 10-week pericd, one class a
week, in the Public Health rooms
at South Huron Hospital.
Members were conducted on a
tour through the hospital one
afternoon by Mrs. Jack Del-
bridge, Assistant Superintendent.
Unit Ready
When the desire for such a
course became evident in the
district, it was met by a ready-
and-waibing health unit. Feeling
that the need might well arise,
the unit was represented last
year by Miss Cunnningham at a
series of classes in Toronto,
ducted by a member of the staff
of Maternity Centre, New York,
where such classes have been
given for g number of years.
When enquiries by women of
the district became numerous,
Miss Cunningham organized the
class and drove to Exeter one
night every week to give lec
tures.
Another Course
Local public health nurses
will attend another series of
lectures in Toronto this summer
and plans are underway for
them to begin a new class in
Exeter soon.
Women interested In attend
ing the course should be able
to receive more definite informa
tion regarding the date for reg
istration by contacting either of
