Carrying out this duty are offi¬cials and volunteer workers of the Weber county chapter who have trained several hundred in nursing skills during the past few months. Free classes are being conducted 'which make available to everyone a practical, workable knowledge of nursing in the home. Added is spe¬cial instruction in injuries or ill¬nesses which may result in any disaster or in case of atomic war¬fare. Mrs. O. C. Hammond, director of nursing services for the chapter, announces that another class in home care of the sick opened to¬day.
