THINKING OUT
LOUD
By H. M. L.
By GUEST COLUMNIST
We are accustomed the year aroond
to see the white clad nurse with the
black bag hurrying from call to eall
along the highways and byways of
Nevada City and Grass Valley. Now
comes the time when we are asked
to join in a community wide educational program that will make us
‘better acquainted with her work.
This week will be celebrated throughout the country as Know Your Public
Health Nurse Week.
Public health is a service greatly
concerned with the ‘physical and
mental health of each and every one
of us. Its goal is to build a community and nation of people-more resistane to sickness.
This goal has been backed up by
you through a Nevada County Public Nurse Service financed by the
cities of Nevada City and Grass Valley and the Board of Supervisors.

whose moral character is. spotless;
whose ambition is to do right and
who has no fear in the execution of
his work;; whose aim is the advancement of the interests of the people
and not a stumbling block in their
way; who would scorn to doa dishonorable act and who would refuse
to lend himself to the
