In days gone past a kind hearted neighbor usually volunteered her service as a "practical" nurse in times of illness, but today that demonstration of typically American good-neighborliness is inadequate to cope with the problem of sickness. Expert, trained nurses are required. To fill that gap, the Public Health Nursing Association, through the support of "good neighbor" donations to the Community Fund, provides part time nursing services in the home by graduate nurses for those unable to afford the care they need in sickness and maternity cases. Working in co-operation with physicians and the State Health Department, the agency's nurses are available following operations or in time of chronic or sudden illness, they furnish care and advice to prospective new mothers; they help prevent, isolate and treat cases of communicable disease. Appreciation for the helpful care and advice to the less fortunate in time of sickness is typified by the scene shown in the above photograph, as a grateful mother and her two children bid farewell to one o the association's nurses.

Friendly advice and experienced counsel await behind the door of the Family Welfare Bureau for the three children shown in the above photograph members of one of 400 families which the bureau helps keep together in the face of disrupting influences and material hardships. When food is scarce and the future uncertain, a discordant note often threatens to split husband and wife, with the children being the principal sufferers. This is the type of problem which is brought almost every day to the door of the Family Welfare Bureau - the problem of keeping the family intact. The bureau's trained, sympathetic workers seek to solve those problems of human welfare, by helping the family re-adjust itself, helping husband and wife budget their income, helping them find work, material relief, medical or nursing care through other public and private agencies. The Family Welfare Bureau is one of the agencies affiliated with the Community Fund, which tomorrow will open its campaign for $55,000 in contributions to continue the Fund's cause in 1940.
