NURSE Page Six Miss Helen McKay; who has been stationed at Darmouth, N.S., as V.0. nurse, arrived in Barrie last week end and takes up the work `so suc- cessfully carried on here by Miss Laycock, who resigned and left for Vancouver. Miss McKay comes highly recommended. She received her training in British Columbia, but has been in Eastern Canada for a ` number of years. ' At a mm:-1-inrr nf H-up Fhrpmitive nfi number or ' At a meeting of the Executive of the V.O.N., Barrie branch, held on Monday afternoon, Miss McKay was present and showed that she has al- ready gained an insight into the work in Barrie. Miss McKay read the report of Miss Laycock, cover- ing briey tlte work for the eight months of this year, and over one 4 thousand visits had been made. The question of raising funds to carry on the work for the balance of the year was discussed. The treasurer s ,re- port showed a balance on hand, but nearly three hundred dollars more will be needed to carry on till the end of the year. The committee ap- pointed at a previous meeting to dis- cuss ways and means of raising ~ funds, recommended that a card party he held about the rst of Octo- -ber. This suggestion was agreed up- on and the committee were author- tlized to make all arrangements. L It was nnintprl nnf. hv Dr, T.i+.+.lc- lZe(l to maxe an arrangements. It was pointed out by Dr. Little and the president that a greal deal ` of the work done by the V.O. nurse i here is public health work, which comes 1?nder the Provincial Board of Health, and the secretary was in- structed to write to the Provincial Board asking for some nancial as- sistance, as is given in many other towns. Dr. Little also pointed out that the nurse in Barrie has given a great deal of assistance in the tubercular clinics, as well as courses of health lectures. This is work that is of inestimable value to the town. Miss McKay will carry on this work ,as Miss Laycock has been doing. 1 ` _...___.____.

It is ' not only the privilege but the nature `. of democracy to experiment. Andi frequently more than one experiment has to be tried before the public J sentiment is satised that the best way has been found. In Canada, as y in the United States, there has been - wide and deep disgust at the con- tinuance of unlawful liquor selling ` where prohibition is nominally in ` force. And since Canadian statutes , can be changed so much more uasily' than the United States constitution, it has not ben difficult there to spread the idea that the sale of intoxicants - by public authorities would decrease ; the consumption of drink. The only . plausible notion is to try it; since this country cannot try it, one may ; almost say that it is a neighborly . kindness for Canada to stage :1 de- I I ,immediate way to disprove that` : monstration. For the result can be foretold with great particularity. 'l"l-m caln n'F lirmn-r in unvm-nmnn-+. The sale of liquor in government agencies will not stop illicit dealing in the same commodity; bootlegging j will continue; bootleg liquor and ' government liquor alike will play` mischief with the dependability of man, the character development of boys, the purity ofgirls and the hap- piness of women; the brewing and distilling interests will debauch the government machinery for dispensing] their wares, and every evil inuence that has attended the business before will return intensied. That Can- adians will look back and see the better way would have been to stick by prohibition until it was effectually enforced and the whole drink prob- lem extinguished. Seeing which, Americans will be happy to acknowl- edge that the diiculty of altering V constitutional prohibition saved them from -travelling the long hard road by which th"Canadians got round ~ again to where they should have stayed.

V Each year the Canadian National Exhibition breaks the attendance re- cord of previous years, and in so doing proves that it is the greatest attraction on the continent. The at- tendance record aimed at this year was a million and a half and the aim was achieved with a surplus of nine- teen thousand. The success of the. fair this year stands out as a great shining light of optimism which il- luminates the gloomy surroundings of business depression indicates that the low mark has been passed, that times are improving, and that the country is on the highway to pros- perity. The total attendance, 1,519,000, represents a total in- crease of 26,000 over the mark set in 1923. There were no new or outstanding amtractions added to the program of former years, -so tl:`~e in- creased attendance is a measure of the condence for the future, of the people, as well as an indication of the popularity which the fair has at- tained. The Exhibition is regarded as a barometer of Canadian spirit. If this is so, the readings of the barometer this year are extremely encouraging. Next year there will be some outstanding `improvements made in the show, which has already acquired a marked degree of perfec- tion. The province in-tend to erect an Ontario building, in -which all the exhibits of the province will be shown. It is hoped that other pro- vinces will follow suit. `DONATIONS RECEIVED AT SHELTER FOR AUGUST ' Mrs. Reddi-tt, jar fruit, cookies; Miss Egan, $5; Mr. Saso, 2 bushels bananas; Major `Knowles, 2 baskets peas, 1 potatoes; Houghton reunion `picnic, sandwiches, cake; Mrs. J.
