(James Fitzgerald photo) Nursing Association gets a loud cheer from the class for *Nurses' Week Remember workers in white The week of May 4 to 9 has been designated as Nurses' Week. In Ontario there are 29,000 women and men who are registered with the Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) as Registered Nurses. These nursesare employed in hospitals, health units, VON, clinics, nursing homes, homes for the aged and in- dustry. Nurses, like many other professionals, .have a union that works for them. The On- tario Nursing Association is their union and its objectives includeadvancement of social; economic andgeneral welfare of .nurses; pro- moting better working condi- tions through the negotia- tions of written contracts; better communication. between employees and employers; promotion of the highest standards of health care; unity within the .nurs- ing profession and other -allied fields through co- operation with and support of other organizations shar- ing the same objectives as nursing. The ONA has not been in existence very long. In 1943 the, Canadian Nurses' Association (CNA) set 1 up a Labor Relations Committee and in 1944 the CNA decided that each province should have collective bargaining units through their own Pro- vincial Professional Associa- tion. That . same year the Registered Nurses' Associa- tion of Otltario (RNAO) •set up its first labor relations committee. It was a small, .weak committee consisting of three people. For the. next 20 years the RNAO fought to join their own collective bargaining unit. Finally the hospital groups began to be certified in- dividually. In 1973 there were 104 nurses' associa- tions bargaining as in- dividual units. There were 13,000 members. In 1973 the groups were reorganized and called the Ontario Nurses' Association and the 104 individual groups joined together. Since then the number has grown from 104 to 209 local groups and more than 29,000 nurses are _members. Head offices are in Toronto, with local offices located in major centres throughout Ontario. The ONA representative pro- vides various services to locals and members throughout Ontario. ONA is funded by dues paid by its members.. Being a member of, ONA gives the RN the right to attend meetings and to have a say in salary, working and condi- tions. ONA will assist with any grievances that might come up at the job. A newsletter is circulated once a month. ONA sponsors sum- mer schools, workshops and seminars. Clinton .Public Hospital's local is number 182. It has been in existence for five years: President is Cheryl Hohner, vice president is Regina Campbell, secretary is Tilley Hartman, treasurer is Lindsay Hardy. The Clin- ton Local 182 meets approx- imately five times a year and representatives meet several times a year with Whisky gets feathered. MITCHELL - Despite the clawmarks on his back and a three-inch gash along his belly, Whisky is recovering. The fuzzy little dog was attacked, not by a bigger dog or even a cat, but his unexpected enemy was a great -horned owl. Whisky, a five year-old poodle owned by Dave and Joan Steinbach of Mitchell was behind their home, scurrying through an early morning fog, when he was tacked by the large bird. Ace oruing to Mrs. Steinbach, Whisky "looks a lot like a rabbit," and she reasons that the owl had the same idea. After the attack, Whisky didn't move for five days, but by the next weekend had recovered to his former energetic self, although Mindful of his stitches. There are tyvo owls in the bush behind the Steinbach's property, but their second dog George, a German Shepherd hasn't had any problems with the big birds.

The local also has a representative on the Health and Safety Committee of the Hospital, Sharon Mc- Clenaghan. Barb Hodgins is the nurse representative that deals with any staff pro- blems. The theme for Nurses' Week this year is Discover Nursing and local 182 of Clin- ton has several activities planned to mark Nurses', Week. Several Grade 4 classes in area schools have been asked to tell through pictures and drawings how they see hospitals and nurs- ing. The classes willeach get a special prize for their ef- forts. The resulting pictures `hopefully will be posted in the windows of local businesses throughout Nurses' Week. There will be displays in various business windows depicting various aspects of nursing including a display on Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The CPR dolls Resusi Annie and baby Resusi will be the main attractions in these displays. They are the mannequins that are used in CPR classes all over Ontario to learn the technique of CPR, .Key tags, balloons and bumper stickers will also be given away. . e ii2kur P SMILES N' CHUCKLES TURTLES $399. 14 OZ.

The 10 men, arrested` near New Orleans with a quantity of weapons, were remanded in custody with bail set up to $500,000 each. They are scheduled for a preliminary hearing. - The two Canadians arrested were Wolfgang Walter Droege, 31, until recently the West Coast director of theKlu Klux Klan (KKK), and Larry Lloyd Jacklin, 22, of RR 1, Listowel. Mr. Jack lin is not a KKK member and is not known to police in this area. Contacted by The Listowel Banner, Mr. Jacklin's mother said the family was astonished when they were first contacted by news reporters regarding the story. Mrs. Jacklin said her son had left home over two. weeks ago, saying he was going to spend a couple of weeks out west. She noted that her son had never been in any kind of trouble before and added, "The only thing I can say is that if he was mixed up in anything of this sort, thank God they were stopped before anyone was hart - you've got to think of that side of it too."
