ANGELS OE MERCY Jim Greenblat, weekly editor, who writes the colum, "Weekly Editor Looks at Ottawa" passes on an inter- esting bit of information regarding the nurses in the armed forces. Jim calls them angels of mercy, and what better name could be found for them. He says that there are 3500 trained young nursing sisters who stand behind the 750,000 Canadians in the armed forces, "It is interesting to note", he said, "that the first call ever made for nurs- es for war duty was in 1885 at the time of the North West Rebellion, Ten went west and served. First ones to go overseas were to South Africa at the time of the Boer War, leaving in 1899 and returning in 1902. Two thousand served in the First Great War, 600 of whom were decorated for heroism." Angels of Mercy, that is what they are without a doubt. Ask any lad who has had a turn in a military hos- pital or hospitals, in this war or in the First Great War. These fine young Canadian women deserve all the fine things that are, said about them. Let us be ever mindful of the services they are rendering. * * * * FARM COMMANDO FORCES NEEDED Prospetcs for farm crops in Ontario this year are excellent and 1944 prom- ises to be the banner year in food pro- duction. Yet this very fact makes the situation all the more serious from the standpoint of foociabecause, unless the people come to the rescue and help the farmers to harvest the crops, thous- ands of tons of precious foodstuffs will have to rot in the fields and orchards. This is the basis of an urgent appeal made by Alex Maelaren, Director of the. Ontario Farm Service Force, asked all towns and cities in the Province to enroll and-put to work volunteers to assist in the haying and harvesting. It cannot be impressed on the public too greatly that the situation in this regard is acute and every one that can give full or partial time to assist should not hesitate for a moment to register. * * * * DOING A WONDERFUL JOB The Allied Forces have made a successful landing on the coast of France.
