From this we learned the Public Health nurse will visit in your home to discuss fami- ly health neends in every age and stage, visits schools to provide immunization, teaches prenatal classes (with V.O.N.), assists in com- municable disease control, operates family planning ser- vices, and acts as a liaison with hospitals and other com- munity agencies. Joanne works in East Williams and Lobo township. We had the good fortune to have two McGillivray school boys Rob and Randy Whiteford supply some music with their electric guitars. This was enjoyed by all. Continuing her talk, Mrs. Pickering told of a typical day in the life of a public health nurse, telling of some amus- ing tasks a nurse is required to do. Rob and Randy entertained us with a few more musical numbers. Ruth McCallum thanked the speaker and presented her with a gift of money, and presented the boys each with a plate of cookies. The motto "every chore is an opportunity for joy" was ably given by Margaret Wilson. Jean Lee reported the treasurer's report. Alice Dickens read a poem "Cold cure" followed by a contest by Ruth Ross on parts of the body. Winner was Ruby McLean. All were reminded of the Tweedsmuir history tea on September 17. The meeting was closed by singing the Queen and the In- stitute Grace. We all enjoyed a bountiful lunch prepared by Leona tlughes and her committee.
