crowd of Toronto people who know the band and the town Pepper is derived from creep ing vine native to the forests of Ceylon and South India hint to much emotional disapprov lal could Mankind up no hot VON Week by New York Times The Story the VON it is hard to believe nowthat whcn Lady Aberdccwand group of enthusiasts started the Victor ian Order of Nurses in 1898 they had to overcome obstinate opposi tion medical society declardd the objective of the proposed new ord cr commendable but foretold that the Scheme w0uld prove an entire failure Another learncd society which would blush today it its name was mentioned viewed the proposal to start visiting nursing service with unqualied disapproval Even the press these were rath er stuffy times took part in abusing the proposed adventure One prominent newspaper went so far as to reprovc the occupants of Ridcau Hall for going beyond their province Others solemnly warned that the idea of visiting nurse was all halrbrained non sense nnd that Lady Aberdeen had better go home Looking back at that time only Business Womens Valentine Formal Highlight of PreLenlenSocial Season One of the highlights of the pre Lenten social season this year was the annual Valentine Dance of the Business and Professional Wom ens Club on Thursday evening Club 79 was decorated on Val entine theme With hearts and cup lds and balloons and streamch adding to the occasion Party In vors included Valentine hats and Corsages made with paper and fan cy lace Most of the guests were in lor mal attire Music was provided by Bob Hunter and his Band The Redciving the guests wcre the club president Miss Hazel Cold well and the vicepresident Miss Violet Wade Dance conveners were Miss Dorothy Falconer and Miss Mildred Meredith Miss Beryl Wolfcndcn was largely responsible for the very attractive decorations while allthe club members worked hard to make thc evening suc cess The dance had previously been postponed from Valcntlnc Day Feb 14 because of the

trained inane who wonld visit poor and iothcr invalid in their homes and zlcnd them under medical superviv SlOIl But the press of the times gives jllvcly accounts of the protest meetings that were held it need ed courage and persistence to go iorward against such opposition Lady Aberdeen whose husband was Governor General from 1894 98 was however one those women who rejoiced in battle for good cause and she gathered others of like character around her The idea of home nursing scr vicc had been suggested to her during visitlto Vancouver and she started working on it at once At the then recently founded Nurs ing School at Waltham Mass she discovcrcd almost by accident Miss Charlotte Macleod who shat cd her belief that the scheme was good one and had the encrgy and knowledge to make it real ity Min Macleod was born in New Brunswick and with ve other Canadian nurses who had taken their training at Waltham she came to Ottawa and began build ing the organization Some mistakes were inevitably made in the course of the years For time it was thought that string of cottage hospitals should be erected across the country But that took too much money and nilnally Miss Macleod and her suc ccssors in thcposition of Chief Superintendent co ccntratcd on creating corps of fully trained nurses whoshou1d also be excep tional women to nurse patients in their homes Growth of Victorian Order From that small beginning in Ottawa 54 years ago the Victorian Order has grown into nation wide organizatibn with 100 branch es scattered throughout the ten provinces Each brunch controls and directs its own affairs but in order to keep nursing service at constant uniform excellence the is met out at revenue from innit ed funds which were raised through public subscription by legacies and donations and from endpoints which are usually launched at ve year interval in the name of the wives of the Governors Gettan and from govcrnmcni grant As is always the warmth institution which continues to grow to improve and attend its service to satisly new needs and to raise its own standards expcna sea inevitably run ahead of tho come That is as it should be if an organization which aims to re lieve human suffering lives with in its income it is Sign that it has lost its spirit and become in stitutionalizcd Nursing Service The tendency is in spite of the improved social conditions in these times of childrens allowances old age pensions and sickness benets for thoscwho deceive VON treat ment to expect it to be for noth ing Out of nearly million visits paid to their patients by VON nur scs last year over fty percent were free In many cases espec ially among cancer patients and incurablcs it is impossible tor the nurses to collect fees but some what less than fty percent of their patients pay and pay gladly fer the expert service which the nurses giva To the doctors whose predeces sors so stoutly resisted the foun dation of the Order she has become an invaluable assistant ll is she who takes daily care of mothers and babies both before and after childbirth docs surgical nursing in accident cases helps keep invalid homes cheerful and organized and relieves the doctor of half his vis itlng chores Perhaps the greatest service which the Order founded by Lady Aberdeen has done to communities all across Canada has been to re licve the pressure on hospitals By nursing accident cases and chrOnic invalids in their own homes the VON nurse keeps hospital beds available for those more seriously ill Also there are great many people who prefer to be cared for at home Compared with the costof hos pital upkeep that of the VON scr viccis small and it is because of the overcrowded conditions and high cost of hospital treatment the VON is seeking in national publicity campaign to make the advantages of its work known to let the sick know where to turn for help to encourage communi ties to form now branches and to attract nurses to this unique ser
