Tomorrow (Saturday) evening at the Edgeworth

many entertainment features and amusements for all.
Elaborate preparations havo boon mado to decorate and light tho club rooms so that the danco will

floor show, in which a number of special features
will bo soon; such as tap dancing by a group of
Sowickley girls, with somo solo dancing by Mr. Carl

them, and by Miss Virginia Millei", his assistant.
Nivolla's orchestra will furnish tho music. There will

thoso who do not caro to danco, and ontortainnient
for all is assured.
This party is tho Association's means of fluancing
its valuable bencfleial activities), such as supporting
Health Nurses who work among tho children of tho
several public schools in the district, tho distribution
of milk and cocoa to children who need it, as well
as tho Sowickley Hospital Clinic and other forms
of health improvement endeavor.
The Sewickley Valley Hospital clinic began to
operate on March 10th, 193.1. Its opening was caused
by tlio repeated complaints of the Public Health
nurses of this district, over tho difficulty involved in
taking their patients to tho hospitals in Pittsburgh.
It was through the efforts of the Child Health Associa-
fion of Sewickley that tho present free dispensary was
made possible. The cooperation it met on the part,
of the board as well as the medical and nursing stall'
of the hospital was nothing .short of magnificent. Threo
times a weok tho doctors and nursos assisted by
volunteer members of the Child Health Association
give their services to these clinic .uses, which havo
grown rapidly in tho past year. Twenty-live babies
owe their healthy start in lifo to tho froo medical
care given them aud their mothers. Miss Effio Coller,
in charge of tho clinic has many thrilling talcs to tell
of the worth-whilo work boing done.
The Child Health Association feels that this is
one of the biggest things that it must carry on in
the yoars to come, but in order to do this as well as
the support of a public health nurso and all tho
other demands, put upon tho organization during tho
present crisis, moro money must be raised. The only
method for making money whieh tho Child Health
Association has, is tho annual spring entertainment,
to bo held in tho Edgeworth Club tomorrow ovening.
Won't, you please como and by your support mako it
possible for them to carry on this valuable work!
