Afterwards, she made\nseveral home visits to assist new parents with problems that arose in the\nhome environment after the baby's arrival.\nIn addition, she was the coordinator of the Mother's Aide Course,\nwhereby 70 of the base youth participated and were certified.\nMrs. Wallace also acts as a hospital assistant. Her help has enabled\nmilitary nurses to carry on other activities as necessary. In the hospital and\nthe community she constantly provides health education to base personnel.\nWhen aware of illness in a home, she usually calls the family to inquire if\nshe can be of assistance.\nWakkanai Air Station is without a full time school health nurse. One\nday each week she provides emergency first aid, health education and communi-\ncation between student school and family.\n266310"
