ONT. RED CROSS
OUTPOSTS HOSPITALS
"Never again in this generation, in
all probability, will a donation large
or small go so far toward iifting the
burden of sickness from our people
in the outlying parts of the provin-
ce," said Dr, Routley, Director of the
Ontario Red Cross, recently, when
dsicussing the preserit acute situat-
ion of the Red Cross Outpost Hos-
pital.
Thousands of settlers in isolated
communities, in lonely homes woo
from the northern forests through
inconceivable toil and hardship, look
to these hospitals and nurses for
care in sickness, accident and child-
birth. If the hospitals were forced
to close, where would they turn? In
most cases there is neither doctor
nor other nursing help within 50 to
200 miles, In these difficult times,
too, the ,settlers need the Red Cross
nurse not only in sickness but also
for guidance, for advice and for mat-
erial help In distress. She, backed by
splendid co-operation from local
branches and Headquarters, has been
able to see that many families, who
needed the necessities of life, receiv-
ed them. 'These included -warns clo-
thing for parents and children, food
in some cases, and other necessary
help. She tries 'to bring help before
want produces sickness.

ele . There were
not even cooking 'utensils, merely
crudely constructed makeshifts; no
baby clothes or proper bed, and scar-
cely any bedding. Poverty, ill -health
nd discouragement had made a
wretched place ,of this wilderness
a
home.
It fell then to the lot of the nurse,
not only to help this young another
through her difficult time, but also
to scrub and clean, obtain supplies
and make the home comfortable and
sanitary• for mother and baby. She
stayed with the young mother save
ertl clays and showed het ways of
planning and managing, and hoar to
take care of the baby. The mother
tookheart and a new interest in life
Again, an Indian guide, one day
stumbled into the d oolee_:;y of the
Outpost Hospital, He was running
a high fever and was very weak from
exhaustion and expostare, 22 miles
he had come through the bush to the
Outpost.
His condition was critical; but ex-
pert medical and nursing care saved
his life. In 9 days he was able to
start the long' trek back to his fam-
ily, rather weak yet, but well pro-
visioned and clothed for the trip.
Another incident in Outpost life.
A little lad of seven sat by the door-
way of a shack and wistfully watch-
ed his companions romp and play on
the rocks by the river, He had suff-
ered the dread tuberculosis of the
ankle bone and had had to have his
foot amputated. At times, with the
help of crutches, he attempted to
hobble around and join in the merri-
ment. It seemed that he would just
have to live' on this way indef"ini:tely,
as his father found it hard enough
to feed and clothe his family,: and
expensive medical applianceswere
beyond his means.
The nurse reported the need, and,
through the Red Cross,a new artific-
ial foot was obtained. Life is a diff-
erent and happier place for this lit-
tle boy now.
This is the kind of work that the
Red Cross nurses are doing in the
:north. When emergency sick calls
come, they set out from the Outpost
by car, on foot through the bush
trails, on " snowshoes, by canoe or
by any, other means procurable.
They bring these people skilled nurs-
ing care and the understanding sym-
pathy
of one who lives among them,.
knowing the hard conditions they
are often forced to endure. `
Recent reports from the nurses
show the increasing need of their
services. This great work has beers
a big drain on the resources of the
Red Cross, and funds are getting low.
There are only two alternatives,
more funds, or the closing of sorne
of these Outpost Hospitals. There-
fore
the Red. Cross is making ,an ap-
peal to the people of Ontario to
stand behind these Outpost nurses
and let this great work be carried
on.
Send something, whatever you can,
to the Editor of this paper who will
forward it, or send it direct to The
Red Cross Society, Headquarters,,
