MIDWIVES MEETING AT HEALTH OFFICE

On Thursday, May 28, there will be a meeting for all midwives in Whitley
County, held at the office of the County Health Department in Williamsburg.

Dr. Creech, a representative of the Bureau of Maternal and Child Welfare of
the State Department of Health, will be present at the meeting to instruct
and advise the women in attendance, and will show motion pictures.

The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. and all women, practicing midwifery in
the county, and all those who expect to continue to do so, are requested to
attend.  Also bags equipped as for delivery are to be brought in for
inspection at that time.

Women performing the duties of a midwife should have and should welcome
qualified supervision, and should be urged to avail themselves of this
opportunity to learn and to become better prepared to carry on their
services in their community.

R.B. Fulks, M.D. Health Officer
