Thanks to the Red
Cross
By L.J. Smith, Health
Officer
For some time the Health Department of the city and county
of Wilson has been greatly handicapped for lack of transportation for a
Community Nurse. No funds were provided by the Department for the purchase of
an automobile, which was a source of much regret, realizing the fact that one
nursed with an automobile could do the work of two or three nurses who had to
walk from place to place.
This proposition was put up to the Red Cross and they saw
the business side of the proposition along with the great possibility of
helping all the people of the city and county of Wilson. As a result they
instructed me to buy a Dodge car for this purpose for which the Red Cross
furnished the funds, except $65 which Mr. Abbitt deducted from the price.
I am sure every good citizen of Wilson appreciates this
generosity and especially is the Health Department grateful for this donation.
Long live the Red Cross Chapter of Wilson County.
