An English sports car that has
set 100 world records for its
class uses aluminum in its body
work and in parts of the chassis.
... And a French company is
making lightweight aluminum
collars for draught horses.
Just goes to show that in this
age of aluminum it isn’t just the
newest marvels that make use of
aluminum but some of man’s
oldest inventions, too. Which is
one of the reasons why we have
already started work on expand
ing the ingot capacity of our new
development at Kitimat from
its present 91,500 tons a year to
331,500 tons.

In a previous article we discussed
a number of careers or vocations for
men in hospitals. Now I would like to
talk about careers for women, and,
believe me, it is just amazing how
many such careers there are.
True, some of these require a high
degree of training, others do not re
quire such extensive training and
their prime requisite is a willingness
to work and devotion to the task in
hand.
Naturally, when we think of a
career for girls in a hospital, nursing
is the first to enter our minds. Much
has already been said and written
about the many advantages of nursing
as a career for young women. In my
opinion it provides a splendid back
ground which can always prove useful
either as a means of livelihood, or as a
valuably asset in the daily problems
of raising a family.
Nursing itself, of course, has evolved
many specialities. Once a girl has
graduated, she is ready to accept a
position as a general duty nurse.
Many, however prefer to take further
training and become qualified as a
supervisor in some clinical field, such
as the operating theatre, in obstetrics,
in pediatrics or, perhaps, to become a
nurse administrator.
Nearly all of our larger general
hospitals have schools for nurses.
Most of these schools now require their
instructors to have special qualifica
tions in the subjects they teach. As a
result the majority of instructors in
nursing schools are university gradu
ates. Across Canada a number of uni
versities have faculties of nursing and
young women graduating from these
schools have a degree and qualifica
tions which pave the way for them to
become directors or specialists in
schools of nursing, or to become hos
pital administrators.
All hospitals of any size have at
least one dietitian and the larger in
stitutions have quite a number. This
is a good career for young women and
is interesting, worthwhile work. A
training in household science or home
economics is essential. Many types of
food are required in a hospital, and
these special diets make the work all
the more interesting. In addition to
the preparation of the food, it is the
responsibility of the dietitian-in-
charge to get meals to the patients
hot and at the proper time. This takes
fine teamwork and requires precision
planning.
Still another good opening for

women seeking a career in hospitals
is in the physical therapy field. Today
most, though not all, of our physical
therapists are women. Most have
been trained in one of the university
courses and are highly intelligent in
their handling of their patients. With
greater knowledge of the value of
physical therapy treatments, these de
partments are increasing their volume
of work at a rapid rate.
An essential feature of the modern
hospital is its careful recording of all
medical data and information which
relates to the patient’s illness. Hospi-
als take special care to ensure accur
ate clinical records and, for this pur
pose, employ medical record librar
ians. Women desiring to become regis
tered medical record librarians (M.R.
L.) can take special courses offered
at various hospital centres. They then
become familiar with the language
of the medical profession, study ap
proved indexing and coding proced
ures and learn how to file for handy
reference the valuable data and facts
on each patient’s record.
For those in the field who have
not and cannot take a complete course
in this work, the Canadian Hospital
Association and the Cariardian Assoc
iation of Medical Record Librarians
jointly offer a special extension
course. Medical record librarians can
now take this course while actually
employed in this work.
Turning next to the technical field,
it is interesting to note that many
young Canadian women find engross
ing careers in the field of laboratory
technical work. Under the general dir
ection of the doctor in charge of the
hospital laboratory, the actual work of
the laboratory is done, to a large
degree, by a technician, or techno
logist as these workers are frequently
called.
Training either in general labora
tory work or in specialized laboratory
fields can be obtained in a number of
hospitals across Canada. Further in
formation on this subject may be ob
tained from the Canadian Society of
Laboratory Technologists, 294 Barton
St. E., Hamilton, Ontario.
Other techicians have taken up
other essential fields of work. Some
test patients for various types of deaf
ness; others check for correction of
squint or cross-eye, under the super
vision of the ophthalmologist.
A somewhat allied technical field is
that of the radiology technician, or
radiographer. Much of the general
work of the X-ray department is done
by radiographers under the general
direction of the radiologist. For those
interested in photography, or in mech
anical and electrical work, this is an
engrossing and most enjoyable field.
One could go on and on and outline
advantages of other possible careers
in hospitals. These could include oc
cupational therapy, social workers,
nursing assistants, medical secretar
ies, office workers, elevator operators,
telephone operators, receptionists,
medical artists, medical photography
and others.
Still another important position in
every hospital is that of the house
keeper. Although seldom seen by the
average patient, the housekeeper has
a quite responsible post for she has
general charge of the maid service,
the linen and the general housekeep
ing in the institution. This is a posi
tion frequently held by women in
middle life and requires a great deal
of executive ability.
Young Catholic women thinking of
going into the Sisterhood, if they are
interested in hospital work, might
consider an Order which specializes in
this work. There are several such Or
ders. Today many of the Sisterhoods
permit nuns with special aptitude to
train in various specialty fields such
as nursing, laboratory work, radio
logy, medical records and pharmacy.
All in all, hospitals offer a wide
variety of interesting and Worthwhile
careers for members of the gentler
sex. Such work can be extremely
pleasant for women who wish to be of
service to others less fortunate than
themselves on life’s journey.

Ti-Boule, or Little Ball, being a dog, is not supposed to have
nine lives, but he’s doing his best to establish that reputation. Shot
by a Montreal policeman after neighbors of his owned, Paul Moreau,
had complained of his barking, Ti-Boule dragged himself home to
bark again. Here he is being taken to the dog hospital by an SPCA
officer.

Fordwich was a hum of activity for
a couple of days last week when the
House that Harvey Sansom bought
and which sat just on the brow of
the hill, was being moved to a site
over the hill and facing the house
where Harry now lives.
It was quite a job to get it over
the hollow where it has sat for over
fifty years. But these movers know
their business and although they had
a little trouble getting started, it is
now on its new foundation. Harry
can start to get it ready to live, in.
