F/C Nurses Patient
At Local Hospital
Flight Cadets training to be
Radio Officersat the RCAF Radio
Officer School , RCA Station,
Clinton, Ontario, come from
many walks of life, from all parts
of Canada. Some entered the
RCAF straight out of high
school, others had a civilian
trade or profession. Among the
trades and professions it's a
pretty sure bet that if you are
looking for a typist, painter,
draughtsman, mechanic, or what
have you, to give you a hand in
his spare time you will find one
among the cadets".
A few weeks ago, Flight Lieut.,
enant K. J. Henderson, matron
at the Statim Hospital was not
surprised to learn that a Flight
Cadets getting treatment for his
hand at the hospital, was also a
nurse. Titre went by and then,
one evening, a call for quick
assistance reached the Senior
Medical Officer, Flight Lieuten-
ant J. G. Fraser: "Could one of
his two nurses help out in her
off duty hours"? A local Clinton
citizen was seriously ill and re-
quired constant attention. No
spare nurses were available In
town.
Nursing Sister 3. Ouellete vol-
unteered. She could fill in. until
seven o'clock the next morning.
At eight o'clock she must return
to her regular duties. But who
would take her place at seven
the next morning? ' Matron Hen-
derson could not leave her
patients at the' Station Hospital,
and Sister Ouellette could not be
two places at onee.
-As usual, someone came up
with a stock .question. "How a-
boat a Flight Cadet"? Matron
Henderson remembered — Flight.
Cadet Donald Henry Lefebre,
Drumheller -- a veteran of four
years' nursing experience in his
home province of Alberta,

local saying, "If you want help
