In addition to tho improvement of the milk supply, sewers have been installed and the water supply improved. ' The question of nursing the town people neither employee of the company nor-Industrial Policyholder's arose, this year but it was decided to confine the activities to the two groups of Policy Holders. The nurse in Herculaneum was helpful in organising a Parent* Teachers Assn* During 1921 it has been neeeseaxy to install new nurses as the living and transportation facilities of the town have not been comfortable enough to withstand the attraction of other openings. At present there is only 1 nurse employed but a very complete Health program has been outlined in which the nursing servioe will be combined with the services of a full.time Health Officer. Details of the plan are being worked out. 3 1< (Coat. 6) 9. Distribution of Welfare pamphlets ^pamphlets. distributed 0roups served Total active rroues Jan. Fob. Mch. Apr. May Jun. Jul. AUg. Sop.
