:-‘.c-. v%m and of DAVID BEAN & SONS LIMITED J Owners and Publishers PAGER TWO Within the last few years the preparation of nurses has advanced considerably. Gone are the days when a graduate nurse worked twelveâ€"hour stretches. Today the eightâ€"hour day is definitely recomâ€" mended and she receives a salary that enables her to live in reasonable comfort. As Canada,â€"in concert with other United Nations. moves towards the end of the third warâ€"year therefore, this problem promises to be one of some magnitude and it remains to be seen whether the young woman of Canada will realize its significance and effect on the life of the nation. If, as Canadians, we do not solve this problem now, we shall unâ€" doubtedly have cause to regret our dilatoriness within the very near War makes iinumerable demands on the people of countries inâ€" volved. Here, in Canada, with a relatively small population, we are faced with the serious problem of finding sufficient men and women \lorourarmedforvec,ourvarmdindunrhlphnu. Over and above these requirements there is one otherâ€"the shortage of nursesâ€"thai is causing considerable concern to those directly associated and it has reached such proportions that the Dominion Government has taken cognisance of the situation. Normally, Canada numbers approximately 23,000 graduate nurses among her population, but. since the war, at least 1,500 have enrolled with the forces and for service in South Africa while, it is estimated by the Canadian Nurses Association, the official organization wrestling Today, therefore, Canada is confronted with an alarming shortage of competent nurses and, with the women power problem as it is today, the shortage will become more acute as the months pass. The Canadian Nurses Association has suggested that the depleted ranks of nurses can only be filled if more and more young women of the age, and possessing the aptitude and disposition so essential for this honourable profession, enrol for training; that married nurses take refresher courses to fit them for return to their profession; that more and more competent instructors be found; that scholarships and burâ€" saries be set up for the training of nurses for special and instructional work. It is an axiom that the nation‘s health is its most prized possession and in the preservation of health the graduate nurse fills an important role. Furthermore the training which a nurse receives adequately enâ€" riches her whole life, fits her for responsibilities which are a part and parcel of daily life and endows her with knowledge that is always with this problem, that at least 30 per cent. of nurses marry within two years of graduation. With industry expanding to meet war ments more and more nurses have been enrolled in the industry. t ces3 Nattonal W er Piance Committee _ AOB 7. iX M HeAcs ° THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WAR FINANCE COMMITTEE AN OLD CANADIAN CUSTOM . .

Unprecedentedly heavy and frequent rains have inâ€" terfered with planting and, later, brought both beets and weeds along so rapidly that the limited ?labor available has been hard pressed to cope with cultivation and "blocking". De-glte the urgent need for more Canadian sugar, the beet acreage in Ontario has been reduced by more than half. Owing to lack o{ help fewer fields were g::nted, and many that were have n plowed up and sown to corn or other crops. To help solve the labor rroblem large numbers of Canadianâ€"born Japanese were brought to the beet fields of Ontario and distributed among nine camps in the territory. But the labor supply was still short of the urgent demand for action if the beet crog was to be saved. The citizens of Chatham and other urâ€" ban centres then accepted the chalâ€" lenge and responded nobly by volâ€" Like many other things that were once regarded as luxuries, suâ€" gar became a commonplace necesâ€" sity but now threatens to recede into the luxury class again. Canâ€" ada has its own sugar industry and must strive for greater indem ence in this commodity. beets are grown on the rich loams of Kent County, Ont., on the irriâ€" gated lands of the Raymond disâ€" trict in southern Alberta, on the fertile soils of the Red River Valâ€" ley in Manitoba and now in the old province of Quebec, where a factory at St. Hilaire will be ready to process the first commercial crop of beets this fall. Describing village life in Engâ€" land of 600 years ago, a historian stated that all salt used for preâ€" serving meat was produced by evaâ€" poration in pans on the seashore, and that a couple of bushels of salt cost as much as a sheep. While salt was dear and scarce, sugar was unâ€" known except to the very rich. The poor had little to sweeten their lot, apart from the honey enjoyed by those who owned a hive. By B. Leslie Emslie "Of linked sweetness long drawn out" wrote the poet, a thought which might suggest the sugar raâ€" tioning _ scheme. _ Sweetâ€"toothed Canadians will certainly have to stretch their sugar supply further than formerly, denying themselves perhaps the crystal cubes that used to sweeten their tea and coffee.
