The Story of Printing to Be Told
in Broadcast
On Friday, June 7, between 8.00
and 9.00 p.m. EDST, the CBC will
present a feature broadcast, eom-
menuruting the 500th anniversary of
the invention of printing, for this
year the lads with ink on their fing-
ers and even in their veins, accord,
ing to rumor, are keeping their,
Quincentary.. Printing may . be .des-
cribed as the art of taking copies
by pressure from the inked surface
of engraved blocks- or movable type,
but that's just the beginning of the
story. The whole romantle history
from the middle of the fifteenth
century, with some reference to the
knowledge of the craft in China long
before that, will be dealt with in the
broadcast which has been arranged
to coincide with the celebrations of
the inksters at the Royal York Hotel,
Toronto. '

hour from London. For he is to be

adian troops and every thied Sunday

Nurses Stand Trained
Wilting and Ready
For Active Service
No branch of the military service
is regarded with afore respect or re-
called with deeper memory by vet-
eran soldiers than the Nursing Ser-
vice of the Royal Canadian Army
Medical Corps. The nature of the
workdone by the Nursing Sisters,
their " devotion and untiring energy,
have left an indelible record to soft-
en the griin tragedies of sickness and
injuries in war.
Again, as before, hundreds of Can-
adian nurses stand ready and eager
to serve at home and abroad, inthose
tasks for wheh they are most fitted.
Strict requirements are necessary
before a nurse is accepted for service
with the C.A.S.F. Like her brothers
in uniform, the Nursing Sister must
be; in the best of health, To so en-
sure; she must pass a rigorous ex-
amination. In addition she must be
a British subject and a graduate
from a recognized trainiing school
with an R.N. degree. The age limit
is 45 years.
Besides such professional qualifi-
cations as she may have, the Nursing
Sister is required to possess cheer-
ful and an agreeable temperament.
In the ward the quality of cheerful-
ness has an inestimable value as
many a victim of war's worst effects
can testify. The interest shown by
the Nursing Sister to each individual
patient, her encouragement and aid
have helped thousands through dark
hours, and aided greatly in the men-
tal repose necessary to cure.
In peace time, the Permanent
Force Nursing Service on duty in
Canada is very small, being compris-
ed of one Matron and ten Nursing
Sisters and in most stations one
Nursing Sister only. The Medical
Officers, Sisters and non-commis-
sioned officers in Military Hospitals
hold courses to qualify nurses for the
Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps,
Non -Permanent. These Nursing Sis-
ters, after passing required examina-
tion, are called to the Military Hos-
pitals when needed for special cases,
camp or relief. Keenly interested in
military work, they have taken a
month's course, attended lectures and
spent specified time on duty in the

But the time has come when some
form of state control of bush land
must be adopted. For every tree tak-

Western Ontario is far behind Euro-
pean countries in this matter. While
our percentage of forest `land is
about 10 p,er cent, it is as high as 15
per cent in many European countries.
In some it is 20 per cent. Experts
say it should be at least 15 per cent
in Southwestern Ontario.
While federal authorities in Can-
ada have done almost nothing to
combat soil erosion, and very little
in the way of study, it is a matter
of note that The Free Press Roving
Reporter, W. G. Trestain, has• given
a great deal of time and thought to
the problem. His articles on soil
erosion are possibly the most authen-
tic statements of their kind in any
newspaper in Canada. London also
has the satisfaction of being the
home of Dr. John D. Detwiler, of
the University of'Western Ontario,
internationally recognized as one of
the eminent experts in this field.
When this thin 10 inches of top soil
is gone, the population is gone also.
All the thousands of feet below that
top soil level cannot support vege-
tables, animal or human life. The
sooner we realize the full menace of
crop erosion, and remedy it, the
better.
