The response was even more gratifying than we ever imagined. and the main rea- son after talking to the many buyers. was not so much the low prices but our odor of a 7-day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

The V.O.N. has been in opera- tion in Richmond Hill a little more than a year and already has established an outstanding record of service. In her annual report Miss Eileen Woodbyrne gave a nest interesting review of the year's activities. In part she said: “Richmond Hill Branch is one of 118 stretched across the con- tinent. Parent organization is in Ottawa and harbours within its fold over 600 nurses. V.O.N. is a voluntary work â€" waiting to be invited into com- munity â€" waiting for a pledge of your support. That there is a need may be illustrated by monthly increase in visits from 32 to 202. Patients are referred to us by doctors. welfare and health agen- cies and hospitals but mostly by patients and families themselves. All care is given under docâ€" tor's supervision. Nursing care is a very tangible thing. We picture a bed bath. changing of a dressing. adminis- â€" NOTICE TO (‘REDITORS AND OTHERS IN THE ESTATE of Emily Louisa Sheardown. sometimes known as Emilr Louise Sheardown, Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Ontario, -In 1956 heart disease was rated as the nation‘s No. 1 problem, cancer coming second. It is interesting to note that here in Richmond Hill our nurs- ing care visits which total 1.000- have been chiefly concerned with these two diseases. ‘* 50 per cent concerned with heart and arterial diseases, prin- cipally stroke victims. 15 per cent cancer patients. 35 per cent to all others, baby care, burns. digestive upset. arth- ritis. rheumatism and diabetes. ing heir to such long term chronâ€" ic illnesses due to our risin‘r pop- ulation and increasing life span. Facilities to care for such pers- ons is grossly inadequate. Hospit- al beds are needed for the acute- ly ill. It is inevitable that more such patients will be cared for at home. In addition to this. research in recent years has revolutionized the treatment and care of many disabling diseases. No longer are they left lying prone in bed. doomed to a life of inactivity. No longer must the family stand passively by. Effort, exercise. practice and patience on a daily basis brings reward. There are 99 activities carried out by the normal person in routine of daily living. No one can place a value on the ability to lift a spoon, feed oneself or walk across a room. But these are things rehabilitation has meant. to many disabled persons. V.O.N. is designed to be of assist- ance to both patient and family. This part of our service has been a stimulating 'experience during the past year for Mrs. Wellock and myself. Partly be- cause of early referral. we were called in the early weeks of dis- ability; partly because of the wonderful encouragement of the doctors and partly because of the enthusiasm and interest shown by the families we served. Many thanks are due to the Lions. Kinsmen and Rotary Club. to the Cancer Society in apprecia- tion of the sick room supplies. hospital beds. rehabilitation' equipment. dressings benefits which facilitated to a great degree the care given. . The cost for V.O.N. services is small. nursing care fee is $2.00. However. where there is a need. V.O.N. goes regardless of ability to pay. 42 per cent no charge. 32 per cent full fee. 22 per cent part fee and 4 per cent free. Another aim of V.O.N. is to as- sist in the education of future public health personnel. An Aus- trian student at School of Nursing in Toronto spent two weeks with the branch in September. A sec« and student from the University of Western Ontario will be with us for the month of March. I would like to take this oppor- tunity of extending my thanks to the Department of Public Health for their kind welcome and assistance over the years. Their counsel. educational confer- ences. literature and facilities have been made available to V0. N. in abundance. ' I wish to express my sincere thanks to the members of the Board for their co-operation and support. Their interest in starting a V.O.N. library for reference and study is much appreciated. In conclusion I feel that in this. our first year of life. V.O.N. has accomplished her three aims in a very true sense. The finer. more specific functions we would hope to attain in time might well be: 1. A sound referral system with our hospitals for continuing sup- ervision into the home with re- gard to medical. surgical and or thopaedic patients particularly. 2. A closer working relation- ship with other agencies and a deeper understanding of their programs. 3. Provision of health instruc- tion for industrial employees. or 4.
