The Horsham Times Friday 06 February 1920 page 3
The Prahran Baby Welfare Centre will be under the direction of Dr R. H. Fetherston, local city health officer, and will be in charge of Sister Chester, who was recently appointed as city inspectress by the Prahran Council. Sister Chester possesses valuable qualifications upon the subject of child life. She received her training at the Children's and Foundling Hospitals, and has a special knowledge of health matters generally. Sister Chester put in three years service abroad as a military nurse during the great war. She has a brightness and home-llness of manner, coupled with an activity of mind, which should fit her well for the important duties that she has undertaken in Prahran, and parents will undoubtedly find in her a sincere friend.
