Red Cross Keeps Busy While Campaigning In Bath
Red Cross workers continue regular service during this campaign week in Bath with 51 home service requests and 21 home visits. A nurse attended the public clinic and 15 bedside calls were made as solicitors worked in sunshine. Despite 1400 members and 6000 dollars raised, the drive is seen as promising and funds will aid local nursing and disease prevention efforts. A case highlights a Boston family aided by a loan and free surgery for a child's eye, preventing trips to Boston and heavy expenses.
