Trying to Overcome Shortage of.Nurse Plans are now being formulated b the Canadian Nurses Association t overcome the "acute shortage of well qualified' , graduate nurses in - Caned which will become even more alarm - ing as the months pass, "Miss Mild- red Walker. president of the Ontar' Registered .. Nurses Association, an nounced today. "The situation today can be exp lained briefly as follows: " Miss WaL- ker said. "Normally -we have about 23,000 graduate nurses in Canada. "The average number of students enrolled in Schools. of Nursing in Canada is 11,200 of which about 3,000 graduate annually but approximately 30 per cent marry within two years 'of graduation and are lost to the pro- fession. "Since the war started about 1,500 graduate nurses have enrolled in the armed forces or for service in South Africa while, during this period, the demand for competent nurses in hos- pitals, industry, and public health work, has increased by a appreciable margin. • "At present there is en alarming shortage which can only be remedied if parents. and daughters who show inclination, and who have the educe, tional background, will interest them- selves in the honourable profession of nursing which so well fits a girl for shouldering responsibilities all thro. ugh her life. " Nursing today offers many more opportunities than it did a few years ago. Hours are shorter; salaries, gen- erally, are better than they were a few years ago. "At the same time married and re- tired nurses who are physically fit can assist by reporting back for duty and where necessary, take refresher courses which are now being plann- ed. "Tire Canadian Nurses' Association. with the assistance of the Dominion government, is- new considering quite substantial Jeans and bursaries de- signed to increase the numbed elf qualified nurses and the number of those' who can be trained, and fitted; for educational and special work. "The Association is also studying clinical services in hospitals with a view to Bettie • tr g -standar p standards for post -graduate experience 'end is planning the establishment of a nurse placement service or bureau at national headquarters which will be invaluable in the post-war period. "Ali %he efforts of the association, however, cannot overcome the short- i age unless eligible young women t and their perants realize • that, upon them, : to a major :extent depends b whether this alarming situation will I be remedied." employ es, ; ch own ar- in of- nd nt se a ce, k hof 11 - all ed', ke- ed er- the ed u e- en di- ey B- as• on r- te a- cs s. - Y o of commercial fertilizers to supple- ment the barnyard manure and clov- e err ploughed down The Coughlin's hybrid cern pro- vide an excellent demonstration of to proper fertilizing, care and manage- ment.

Leave of ab- sence has' been granted by the oil Company to Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas has been active in both town and county life.

David Hunter of the Agricultural Supplies Board, Ottawa, urged farm- ers to keep on producing those lines of fanning that they were familiar with such as bacon, milk,' beef, eggs and grain. He cautioned against swing ing too far into the new' crops like soyabeans, flax, and sunflower's. The meeting was arranged by J. C. Shearer, Agricultural Representative, who outlined the different fertility de- monstrations carried out on district farms on corn, field peas, hay and pasture and beans.

But we cannot overlook the needy at home. That would be treason to democracy: There are many with whom life has dealt harshly. Human weakness, failure of relatives, unfortunate circumstances—one or all of these may have put them in dire need. , Long experience in dealing with human weakness and want qualifies The Salvation Army to be YOUR agent in this work of brotherhood.

Eventually t Windigo died and was buried on a nearby island where the mot over his grave, a curious elevati some 150 feet in height, is known "The Giants Tomb". Another explanation of the de- pression in the sand at the southern end of Beausoleil is that these were made by treasure hunters excavat- ing for hidden treasure, believed to have been 'buried -by the Huron Indians, It is supposed that the Hurons, fleeing from the relent- less Iroquois during the terrible tribal warfare which resulted in the destruction of the'Jesuit Missions in the land of Kitchikiwana, buried their treasure on Beausoleil rather than 'Tisk losing it on the long and dangerous journey down the French River ' through Lake Nipissing and over into.

Y Legendary Beausoleil Island The recent opening of the Queen Elizabeth . Sea Cadets Camp. on Beausoleil Island brought into the news this the largest and perhaps most romantic of the group of islands which form Georgian Bay Islands National Park. 'Beausoleil, island of beautiful sunsets, is rich in Indian legends and must have witnessed many a bitter conflict between warring Indian tribes. It was at one time the home of a band of Ojibwa or Chippewa Indians, and remains of their settle- ments are still visible. An Indian village stood, near the site of what 'is now the park headquarters' on the eastern shore of the island, and: an Indian cemetery is situated nearby. Tlie island is more than five utiles long' and a mile wide. The southern part is covered with sandy loam and richly forested, while the northern portion has heavy :outcropings of rock. An ancient Indian_ name for the sland is ' Chi-kon-di-kira, which ranslated means. "the land seen in the sunlight in the distance," or "the eautiful land in the sun," or "the and in the setting sun".
