GODERICH HOSPITAL
WILL DISCONTINUE
TRAINING SCHOOL
Present Class Of Student Nurses Will
Be Transferred To Larger Centres
The training school of Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital was
discontinued on January 1. This de- i
cision of the Board of Governors was
announced on Monday. A. staff of all
graduate nurses will be engaged. The
staff at present has eight graduate'
nurses, including the superintendent,'
Miss M. K. McCorl:indale, and five
more will be added, bringng the total
up to thirteen.
The government has arranged to
transfer the present class of .ten to
hospitals at Leaden, St. Thomas and
Brantford, where they will complete'
their training. .
The Board has been finding dt in-
creasingly . difficultto finance the
training school to meet the require-
ments of the regulations of the De-
partment 'of Public Health, one of
which was the engagement of a full
time class instrustress only. Another
reason for the change was the grow-
ing desire of he Department to have
nurses trained at the larger centres
where there are better _facilities for
teaching.
The first probationers were .accept..
ed shortly after the hospital, tlien
to South street, s :oened `
q , �., was opened m 1906.
The class then was composed of two;
in later years the number increased;
to five, and in the past two years to
ten.
The closing of the school was madd-
ed by the Board of Governors in the
presentation of was certificates to
each member of the nursing and do-
mestic staffs.
The opening of a hospital in God -
arch was co -incidental with the build-
ing of the C.P.R. branch here. The
first patients taken in before the
hospital was officially opened were
some of the workmen, who had been
scalded. Miss Griffiths was the first
superintendent.
The hospital at present has forty
beds; and eight bassinettes in the
nursery. The operating room is one
of the best equipped of the •smaller
hospitals in Ontario, and the heating
and Lighting is unexcelled.

dent A. G. Partridge stated:

ory increase over the previosee year

UNDERSTANDING OUR
FARM PROBLEMS'
According to the admonitions of
King Solomon and the experience of
countless wise men before and since
his day we should be primarily inter-
ested and occupied with acquiring
wisdom and understanding. We, as
Ontario Farre people are shortly to
be given an unique opportunity to
better understand our problems in
this complex, war-torn and insecure
world.
Beginning Jan. 21st, at 9.10 pan.
there is going to be a series of farm
broadcasts hider the general heading,
"Farmer's Radio Forum." There will
he 12 broadcasts, one each week until
the series is completed, Mr, H. H.
I•Iannam who bas heard one recorded
sample broadcast writes as follows:
"It is exceptionally good; the best
thing of its kind I have ever heard-
it seems to me that it is going to be
so good that there is little possibility
of you recommending it too highly
to your own people."
In order that farm people can get
the most educational value out of
these broadcasts a movement is be-
ing launched to get listening• groups
e tablished throughout the entire
province. This movement was initiat-
ed by farm leaders but the provincial
government is giving financial assist-
ance to make possible office facilities
in Toronto. This Toronto officewill
give guidance to, and carry on corres-
nonclence with local listening groups.
3,1r. Leonard Hannan has been ap-
pointed provincial secretary and his
office is Located at 28 Duke St., Tor-
onto.
There need be no definite optimum
size for a listening group. An ag-
gregation of 15 to 30 people or what
could be easily accommodated in the
average farm home would be a suit-
able size. The listening group would
notate their meetings among members
of the group who have radios in their
homes.
What needs to be accomplished
right away before these valuable
broadcasts get underway is for many
community -minded people to call in
a few of their neighbours, have an
organization meeting and elect the
necessary officers. The most import-
ant office would be secretary who
would' carry on some cosnespondence
with the Toronto office.
Here is an opportunity for us sill
to give support to a movement that
will be mutually helpful to ourselves
aisd our neiGhboors. We as farmers
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose by aggressively supporting
"nd promoting these listening groups.
You who have been interested•enough
to read this article thus far should
take the initiative and call in your
neighbours and form one of these,
listening greens. 'If We are not,'will'
ing and interested enough to ` put

TAKING FLASH PICTURES
With flash, shots
such as this are quick and sure—and your subjects
don't have to pose In bright light.
A NN turned up with a camera
I'A problem the other night. She
had been trying to take some snap-
shots of the pup—a lively little
rascal—and he wouldn't stay put.
In. fact, the warmth front the photo
lamps made hint even more skittish
than usual, and by the time she
was ready to shoot, he was usually
out of sight.
"All right," I told her, "we'li fix
him. Weal use a flash bulb, and get
him down on film before he even
knows it" So, we arranged things,
and in about three minutes she had
just the picture she wanted.
Maybe you've taken flash shots
—maybe not. If not, whiter is a
good time to get acquainted with
this type of picture -taking, and
You'll find it mighty useful. For
most indoor shots, I use the regu-
lar iiood bulbs; but for some shots,
flash is much better.
It's simple to use, too, even if
you don't have a flash synchro-
nizer, Just put your camera on a
tripod or table edge, and set the
shutter for "time." Insert the flash
bulb in a house lamp fitted with the
regular cardboard reflector you use
for snapshots at night—but be
sure the switch is off at the mo-
ment, Now open the camera shut-
ter—snap ori the switch to flash the
bulb—and close the shutter. That's
all, and you have your picture.
Moreover, you can use any film
you prefer—the quick flash is bright
enough for box camera exposures
with daytime film, when the bulb is
seven feet from the subject. And
if you use high speed flim, the bulb
au be seventeen feet back,
With a flash synchronizer, flash
bulbs are even more useful. You
can even use them in the daytime,
to brighten up the nearby details
in a shady scene. And you don't
have to put the camera on a tripod
—you can hold it in your hand, and
take snapshot exposures. Some of
the most attractive daytime shots
you see in the magazines are made
with the aid of synchronized dash,
and it's a real help.
I didn't have a syuehronizer for
a long time, because they used to
be high-priced—but I bought one
last year as soon as the inexpen-
sive models began to come out.
Now Ann. wants one too; she knows
a good camera accessory when .she
sees one, And maybe there's a good
hint for your own camera kit. I'd
certainly hate to part with my syn-
chronizer—it has already paid for
itself in first-rate pictures.
