Insurance Companies Unite
With Forum for Meeting
An innovation in the way of meet
ings was tried out in the community
hall here, last Tuesday night, when
the insurance companies of the How
ick Mutual, the' Culross Mutual and
the Formosa Mutual, united with the
Do-cum-in Farm Forum of Culross
Township to stage what they termed
a “Safety Educational Program.’’
Many types of fire hazards and their
prevention were discussed and three
films were shown. Farm ponds and
methods of conservation were explain
ed. Mr. Irwin Lobsinger, fire chief, of
Walkerton, gave a very interesting
and instructive address. A panel dis
cussion followed with many questions
asked. The leaders for this were, Bob
Carbert, of CKNX, Wingham, Herb
Kuntz, manager of Formosa Mutual
Insurance Co., Mr. Lobsinger and Bob
Leslie; district hydro inspector, each
answering questions pertainirfg to his
own field of work. Much valuable in
formation was given, in fact it proved
to be one of the most interesting and
educational meetings ever held here.
The people came from a wide area,
and so** great was their interest and
enthusiasm, it was suggested another
meeting should be held Shortly, or per
haps make them a regular occurrence,
These subjects are -of vital interest
today.
Coffee and doughnuts were served
by the Dp-cum-in Farm Forum and
further discussion was enjoyed during
lunch.

Health Nursing
Early in this present century public
health nurses began the pioneer work
of bringing health knowledge into the
homes of the citizens of Ontario ac
cording to a world Health Day state
ment from the Ontario Department of
Health. From a small beginning this
group of nurses has grown until to
day there are approximately 750 Pub
lic Health Nurses employed by muni
cipal Boards of Health throughout all
parts of the province, in both rural
and urban areas.
The Public Health Nurses’ function
and responsibilities may be simply de
scribed as the prevention of disease,
the promotion of physical and mental
health and efficiency, and may include
the carejcf the sick in their homes.
Although one might say that the
unique function of the nurse is the
nursing care of the sick, all nurses
have an education function, related
as far as possible to the family as a
unit.
Bedside nursing in Ontario is offer
ed on a visit basis in the home by the
Victorian Order of Nurses and the St.
Elizabeth Visiting Nurses Association
whose staff members are public health
nurses. The majority of Public Health
Nurses in Ontario are engaged in gen
eralized public health nursing which
is mainly educational. Their pro
gramme encompasses broad areas of
activities and communicable diseases,
maternal health, child and adult
health and chronic diseases. Health
guidance is offered to individuals and
families in their homes, in the school,
in industry and in medical and health
centres, on an individual basis as well
as in organized groups.
In official health agencies public
health nurses exceed in number all
other groups. Because of their close
working relationships with families in
their homes and with the family phy
sicians that are in a strategic posi
tion to interpret health serviced. Also,
many opportunities are provided to
function as a member of a team with
other professional workers and citi
zen groups to study and plan for
better community health.
