She, as as the many other members of this Service, would be embarassed if anyâ€" one tried to pin a medal on them. . . . but the work they do as a Nurses‘ Aide in any of our crowded Military Hosâ€" pitals, is not what would be called easy. . . what war jOb is?. . . but still they do not call themselves war heroines as they explain, "Any work is fun if you like it.". .. Now V.AD.‘s are needed more than ever. .. . hospitals being shorthanded with sendmg many of their graduates off with the Army. the Aides are a help to the patients inâ€" dividually as well as for the hospital. .

Oover 70 people last night gathered at the home of Mrs. W. H. Pritchard, Hemlock St. .. the occasion was @Â¥ shower for a bride of the very near Mrs. Allison had discovered the fascination of volunteer hospital work, when she worked with the St. John‘s Ambulance Brigade and took their course. . . without thinking as perhaps some do that the war made it a patriotic thing to go into ... For awhile her duties at the St. John‘s Ambulance kept her ocâ€" cupied enough, but after several domestic years, as she had always been interested in hospitals, she applied for volunteer work through the St. John Ambulance, having alâ€" ready obtained her course preparing her to serve anywhere in the Milâ€" itary Hospitals as a V.A.D. .. .An occasional young woman enrolls for the Nurses Aide course, in the hope that she will be right up in the front if and when the first major civilian disaster strikes, but as Mrs. Allison says "As much as they need nurses overseas and in the front lines, and as much as I would like to be doing my best with them, I‘ll be content if I can look after patients in any military hospital here, who are not so badly off, and in this way relieve Registered Nursâ€" es who are needed in other places to give emergency care."

Salvation Army Giving Help to Many Old People Toronto, Oct. 6 â€" The war has been hard on many old people, separating them from their boys whose call to duty has taken them many hundreds of miles away. The six Salvation Army Eventide homes and Sunset Lnpdgas scattered across Canada do much to offer haven and comfort to these aging people who are saved from bewilderâ€" ment and loneliness by finding shelter under the Army‘s wing. Many a young man, when enlisting in the service of his country, has turnâ€" ed to The Salvation Army for a solution of what to do with his aging father or mother. A home awaits them, where freedom from worry and want is hapâ€" pily combined with a subtle and natâ€" ural home atmosphere. There is nothing ‘"institutional" about The Salvation Army homes for old people. The daily routine is easy on their nerves and constitutions, many of whom have lived in good circumstances all their lives, and find that it is not necessary to lower their standard of living in an Army home. Doctor, lawâ€" yer, minister‘s wife and all manner of educated and cultured people are reâ€" ceived as permanent guests there, living out their days in the peaceful serenity of congenial surroundings. Watching for the postman, daily prayers, a weekly visit from a member of the family or a friend, a cosy game of checkers or a fireside chat are looked forward to,â€"and many a man likes to take his turn with hoe or rake in the spacious grounds which surround these homes. Friendships are formed, and there is a sense of never being alone in the world which become increasingly important as one gets on in life. Many of the old people, during the days of the depression, fcund that life demanded more of them than they had left to give, and their financial security dwindled before their eyes. They have reâ€"discovered scurity within the preâ€" cincts of the Army‘s homes for the aged. Some guests are bedridden. Arthritâ€" ic, rheumatic, crippled and ailing folk are given special attention and are treated with all the gentle care that would be found in the bosom of their own families. ‘There is no age limit which one must pass before being accepted in a home, some of the inmates are sickly, or in other cases unemployable for one reaâ€" son or another. All are welcome, and soon their daily lives are taken up with such activities as knitting, sewing, writing letters, listening to the radio or other notâ€"tooâ€"strenuous occupations. Memories of their past lives ara brought upâ€"toâ€"date by the mutual exchange of ideas in the lounge after teaâ€"time. Old people do not want to be a burden on their families. In many cases, their own children have grown up with famâ€" ilies of their own coming along. In order to provide security and satisfacâ€" tion all around, it is often better to have grandparents take up residence in a Salvation Army home where they can pursue their own life‘s interests and still maintain a feeling of independence. Visitors come regularly to bring them news of family activites, and there is always a slight ripple of excitement when these visits are expected. Old people have leisure to enjoy their felâ€" low guests, and many of them develop hobbies which the pressure of life has never allowed them to do before. Altogether there are nearly 400 old people in Salvation Army homes in Canada. Their life‘s problems solved, they are living out their days in conâ€" tentment and security. The Salvation Army Appeal asks you to maintain this and other vital home services, by conâ€" tributing generously and promptly to the Red Sheld Home Front Appeal. Funeral Last Saturday of Peter Kellor, Schumacher Funeral services were held Saturday a{ternoon for the late Mr. Peter Kellar who passed away Thursday at his home on Fourth Ave after a lingering illnesyg. The service was held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bill Dybyk, Fourth Ave. The Rev. Lors Carlson, of Trinity Schumacher, Oct. 6th. Special to ‘The Advance. United church, conducted the service.

Again Charged with Contributing to Delinquency of Girl Young Man Dismissed at Tuesday‘s Court Picked up Yesterday on Another Charge. At police court on Tuesday Napoleon | Migneault faced two charges â€" one of | living in whole or part on the avails of prostitution, and the other of conâ€" tributing to juvenile delinquency The} first charge was dismissed, there not' being sufficient evidence to convict. The girl in the case could not be found and the evidence submitted failed to |{ show money received by the accused or to prove the girl in questionâ€"was a common prostitute. Three taxi drivers told of the accused asking them to bring him "buiness", but two of them said they told him the girl was too young and they would have nothing to do with it. One taxi driver who said he took a "customer"‘ to Migneault‘s place said the girl was asked by the accused to go with the "customer‘", but refused. The evidence suggested that the accused had been entering the home of his| sister, apparently without her permisâ€" sion, while she was absent from town! Neizhbours in court told of the blinds being left up and youngters watching through the windows. On one occasion the accused had been seen apparen‘ly in the act of undressing the girl. Mignâ€" eault, who‘posed in a pert way in court and did not appear to realize the _seriousness of the charge against him, ? acted as his own lawyer, and though he iappeared pleased with himself, drew from witnesses statements that were very damaging, though not applying to the particular charge on which he was tried. On more than one occasion, the magistrate warned the accused that he would convict himself if he persistâ€" ed in his foolish methods of questionâ€" ing. The young fellow‘s attitude so annoyed the. court that the magistrate ccmmented that he appeared to be a born fool. Yesterday, Migneault was again arâ€" rested on a charge of contributing to juvenile delinquency, and a. warrent has been issued for the arrest of the girl in the case. Bail for Migneault is set at $1,000 cash. ' Exchange: Oneâ€"half of, the world knows the other half is living in air raid shelters.
