10 The Health Bulletin September, 1944 coats of paint. Considering the fact that the building has only one door, and only one partition, it is surprising to step inside and find a main office with comfortable seating space, a waiting room for the white patients and one for the colored patients, and two examining rooms—all equipped with conveniently-located work tables, cabinets, plumbing, and electrical appliances. This latter greatly expedites the work of the clerk and nurse, who always keep the most modern equipment obtainable in readiness, preparing it with painstaking care and technique. Is there anything drab about the surroundings? No! Who would not feel at home to walk into a well-screened building with light green walls and battleship gray floors—its attractiveness further enhanced by freshly-starched white curtains and screens? Even the colored patients have commented upon the comfortable surroundings which are kept so by an electric fan in summer and a modern oil stove in winter. On Tuesday of every week, alternating white and colored Maternity and Infancy clinics are conducted by Doctor Stevens, who performs complete physical examinations and gives professional advice on maternal hygiene, infant, preschool, and school hygiene. Many service men's wives are taking advantage of this service. Also planned-parenthood advice is given to patients selected from an economic and physical standpoint. Clinics for white and colored patients are held on Thursday of each week for immunization against communicable diseases, followed by venereal disease clinics conducted by Dr. O. E. Bell of Richlands. Meetings are held quarterly at the Rich-lands Health Center where the Public Health Nurses instruct midwives in the preparation of a bed for delivery, in the care of mothers before and after the birth of their babies, in the care of the new-born babies, and in the inspection of the equipment of the midwife's bag. Midwives are showing a great amount of interest in their work and are making an effort to meet the requirements set up by the State Board of Health. They also visit the maternity clinics with their patients and assist the nurse where there is need. For fifteen minutes preceding each maternity and infancy clinic, the Public Health Nurse conducts classes for the mothers. Through discussions and demonstrations the nurse teaches the mothers about the care of the mother before and after the birth of her baby, the care of the infant, the clothes for the infant, the food essential for the health of the mother and baby, and the control of communicable diseases. The private physicians send a great many mothers in to the clinic for instruction in maternal hygiene. The Lion's Club, Woman's Club, Ladies' Aid, Boy Scouts, bridge clubs, and other lay groups have been of great assistance in getting the clinic remodeled and set up. Many have helped with the routine clinic work of undressing patients, keeping records, making curtains and towels, and setting up equipment for • / clinics, and through this work have learned much about the public health program. The sterilization of dressings and other supplies is done at the County Hospital.
