'.:Organization is being made to cele-
brate this Fallt the centennary of
the .opening .'of the Huron High-
way from Guelph to i !Goderich and
as this .year'. will see the comple-
tion of paving this road the event
will have a double significance. It is
proposed to commemorate ire a fitting
manner, men and event's connected
with the early historyofthe. district.
An interesting link with the 'past
in this community is the fact that
one of the men who helped lay the
first gravel on the Huron Road 74
years ago, is still living in the person
of Mr, Robert Devereaux, of Tucker -
smith, who is now in his 90th year.

Miss-Roizb's address given at the
afternoon meeting of the above As-
sociation on May 2nd:
"The Aim of H.'Nursing and the
Scope -of a Public Health Nurse's
Duties"—
The duty of a Public Health /De-
partment is to +promote health and to
reduce the mortality rate. 'This is
done by preventing the spread of in-
fectious diseases: IBy oversight of the
water and :milk .supply; by supervision
of sanitatron; by health education
through the' press; by establishing
well baby, chest and:. other clinics; by
medical inspection in schools and
home visitingby nurses.
Toronto public health department
stands second to none 'on this conti-
nent, The following is an outline of
the public health nursing as carried
on there, Miss Eunice Dyke is di-
-rector of nursing. The city is divided
into districts, with a supervisor in
charge of each, These districts. are
sib -divided, each nurse being in
charge of her own district. She is re-
s'ponsible. for the visiting work,
school work or welt baby clinics 10
her own district.
The public health nurse attending a
hospital clinic sends through to the
districts any orders which the doctors
want followed up. The chest clinics at
the hospitals are under the oversight
of the P.H. nurses. Visits are ma
de
to the homes of patients, and all con-
tact cases are encouraged to attend
clinics •far examination.
School health supervision is a ser-
vice intended to aid in the improve
meat of the physical well being of the
children. It has a three -fold objective.
To lessen the amount of communic-
able disease; to aid -in the detection
and correction of such physical de-
fects,'•as are -.•definitely handicapping
the children; To stimulate a greater
interest in 'personal and community
hygiene.
'From an economic -standpoint, it is
necessary to bear in mind the enor
niou•s annual waste of money, due to
non-attendance: sickness directly or
