Summary: | Nonia In 1920 Lady Harris, wife of then Governor of Newfoundland, aided by leading doctors and citizens, organized an outport nursing committee which later developed into the Newfoundland Outport Nursing and Industrial Association, and part of its effort was to supply a selling agency for home knitting and weaving. In 1934 the Government's Department of Health and Welfare took over all nursing services and "Nonia," as the organization had come to be known from its initials, carried on with the industrial work. . . ./ A shop is maintained at . . . St. John's, and the quality of the work offered for sale is extraordinarily high. PRINTED ITEM G. M. Story AUG 1970 JH AUG 1970 Used I Used I Not used
