She wants to show them how to keep the children of pre-school age healthy, and for the children in school she endeavors to see to it that they are given a fair chance to develop as nature intends them to, both mentally and physical ly. In other words, the public health nurse believes in prevention as more worth while than cure, hence she spends a good share of her time working for the good health ef babies and children. .

SEVJ3N BEAVERTON YOUNG PEOPLE ATTENDING O. A.C. Although few of our' townspeople realise it, Beaverton is well repre sented with students at one of our state institutions of higher learning.

RED CROSS XMA8 SEALS , v PROVIDE HELP IN HEALTH County Nurse New en job la Weak. iagtoa County Is Mad Possible . ay aaie ei aeaia. Elsewhere in this issue of the Beaverton Times you find a brief an nouneesnent of th work of Mrs. Ag nita Smith who is to be th school visiting nurse for Washington Coun ty. Mrs. Smith is wall qualified both in experience aad training for th work ah is to do. She not only is a trained nurse but has taken a spe cial course in community and social work along th lines required and for th last several months she has been visiting nurse in the Portland schools. How fortunate we are to have on a well qualified to start the work among us. Washington County is the seventh county in the state to have a public health nurse and other counties are to- be added as time goes on. The funds for the first three months for the maintainanc of this work in our community come from the sale of Xmas Red Cross stamps by the Ore- kvi xuuexvuiuai puewty. rur wis last two years this society has been devoting these funds in Oregon to the establishment of public health nurs ing in our state. , This is a fact which will surprise many of us. We have purchased a few Red Cross stamps each Xmas not knowing that the bread we have cast upon the waters is being returned to us in such an unexpected way. it should surely encourage us to make the sale of Red Cross stamps in this community a record breaker each year from now on. After th first three months it is hoped that Washington county will so recognise the value of the nub- lic health nurse that the work will be continued by the county without out side aid in financing. Mrs. Smith brings to Washington county her training and experience to help us nave a healthier commun ity and I am sure that w will mc. ognise our opportunity ana support mis won wnoieneanediy. ine peo ple now back of it are earnest In wishing to help us. Every large city every large community, now recog nizes the necessity of the public health nurse. It is no longer an ex periment. It has been tried and found good. . We want better schools, we want better conditions . for our children. Here is a chance to add to the betterment of our community. We wish people to say of Washington county that the same Educational, social and moral conditions prevail here as in any of the best organised communities of this land. We can bring this about by doing our best toward every good opportunity that comes along. I am sure Beaverton community is. going to hold up the standard in this endeavor Just CONCERT FRIDAY NIGHT PROVED MUSICAL TREA' Students of Velsir Const wMrfa de Mualeju t Art DraasatsM Wla Applies by Ptfalar dHKae. .
