The British Children‘s War Service Fund was established by the National Committee on Mental Hygiene following a visit to Great Britain by Dr. C. M. Hincks. Funds for the sending of Canadian workers to Britain have been provided by Canadian groups and individuals. ‘_ The Canadian social workers will be attached for a threeâ€"months‘ period to British social workers, so that they might learn British methods. After that they will go to reception areas where children from bombed out areas are now living. The school teachers will be under the direction of London County Council schools for a number of months, and then placed in reception areas where thousands of children are now going to school. The nursery school teachers will shortly be placed in residential nurseries for children under five years. A British Reception Committee headed by Sir Wilson Jameson, chief medical officer of the British Ministry of Health, met the Canadian girls in London. They will attend a two weeks‘ intensive course to acquaint them with British methods of social service and education. Under Dr. William E. Blatz, of the Institute of Child Study, Toronto, a group of six Canadian child experts has been conducting a wartime nursery school training course at Birmingham, where some 600 British mothers are being educated in methods of operating wartime nurseries, thus enabling additional British women to enter war industries. Safe arrival in England of a batch of 26 Canadian children‘s workâ€" ers was announced by Dr. C. M. Hincks, director of the National Comâ€" mittee for Mental Hygiene. They include:â€" Margaret Hincks, Toronto, Catherine Steele, Toronto, Fay Miles, Toronto, Alice Foster, Aliston, Olive Goodwin, Oak Lake, Man., Mrs. E. Glen Sharpe, Winnipeg, Miss Rowan Paterson, Toronto, Gertrude Burgar, Hamilton, Buth Tisdall, Vancouver, Eleanor Hamilton, Toronto, Ruth Houston, Regina, Sask., Alice Carroll,, Toronto, Marion Slater, Galt. Isabel Rutter, Vancouver, Marion Emmott, Princeton, B.C., Nancy Griffin, Montreal, H. Dullege, Montreal, Mrs. Josephine Ch;:isson, Montreal, Lulu Johnston, Moncton, N.B., Joyce Cornishâ€"Bowden, Toronto. The National Committee on Mental Hygiene announced today they had fulfilled their promise to the British Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education and now have 32 qualified Canadian social workers, child psychiatrists and schoolâ€"teachers in Great Britain servâ€" ing under the British Children‘s War Service Fund. "Five hundred Canadian sailors have given their lives," he said, "and their bodies lie at the bottom of every ocean in the world. Eightyâ€"| three of them have been decorated by the King. Anything you can do for Canada‘s seamen will be well deserved, and in this connection I may say the Navy League has been untiring in its efforts. I have never| found it lacking in vigor, courage or enterprise when called upon, which its work for the Merchant Marine has been outstanding." Ours should be the honour to help the Navy Loagiw continue its magnificent work! ‘"‘That is the story of a great many others," stated Mr. Macdonald. "‘They know they have something worth fighting for, and they are happy in the doing of it. In reality he was voicing his faith in the British Empire and more strongly still, his faith that freedom will prevail finally, and that hatred and brutality and viciousness and godlessness as displayed by Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohite and their cohorts, will never overcome England or the Empire or the people who are making their stand for freedom on a dozen different battlefronts. In reality he was voicing his faith in an ideal when he said, ‘"‘There‘ll always be an England." So related the Hon. Angus L. Macdonald recently when telling of the tragedies that ensued when the Otter went down, on fire, off Halifax, in March. 1941. "That young seaman looked at the rose tattoed on his arms as he spoke the words because they reminded him of the English rose, but he had never seen England," said Mr. Macdonald. Slowly whispering the words, "There‘ll always be an England", as the last few breaths left his starved and perished young body, a Canadian seaman, temporarily survivor of the illâ€"fated Otter, fell back into the arms of his shipmates on the raft they were cliging to, and died, happy.

The hints are:â€" Hints For Wartime Jams and Jellies For several years past, the reguâ€" lations governing boxes containing cheese for export from Canada have required reinforcement by two metal bands or wires placed around the box and applied at right angles to each other. In order to conserve steel as a war necessity, the requirement has been changed to one band or wire. In intimating this change to the operators of cheese factories in Canada, J. F. Singleton, Associate Director of Marketing Service, Dairy Products Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, points out that in boxâ€" ing cheese, the covers should be placed in such a manner that the joints of the bands of veneer of the Loxes and the covers come into as close alignment as possible. The object of this is that the metal band or wire will strengthen the laps of the veneer of the covers and boxes to the greatest extent possible. | â€"Aâ€"DAY (8) Boil exactly the recommend: Cheese Boxes May Reduce Steel Bands _ In times of war the maximum effort is expected of every man and every woman.

The candidates for these loans are to be selected by a committee in the University on the basis of academic merit plus finâ€" ancial need. Such selection shall be confined to those who without assistance could not continue their University course. No interest is to be charge on any loan until the recipient has left or graduated from the University. No form of work shall be required in return for any aid under this scheme other than diligent application to the course of studies for which the stuâ€" dent is enrolled. The loan shall be used for those purposes which shall be most beneficial to the student such as the payment of tuition and other fees, for board and lodging and the purchase of text books. 11.

I These are the facts in concise form which we hope you will keep on file for study and comment as you may see fit. The extent to which this problem is solved deâ€" pends in large measure on the atâ€" titude of editors of Canadian newsâ€" papers to this situation. 3. $15,000 to assist the Canadian Nurses Association to promote reâ€" cruiting of student nurses and to participate in carrying out the proâ€" gram set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) and other auxiliary serâ€" vices. _ 2. $25,000 to provide scholarships for graduate nurses who are deemâ€" ed by the Canadian Nurses Assoâ€" ciation to be promising material for education as teachers, superviâ€" sors and administrators. Appreciating the seriousness of the situation the Dominion Govâ€" ernment has recently appropriated $75,000 to provide facilities for the tuition of teachers, supervisors and administrators in schoools of nursâ€" ing which may require assistance in coping with the education of the increased number of student nurses registering at these schools. 7.

To offset the alarming shortage which now exists and which will become more serious as time goes on the C.N.A. has recommended: Alberta From the annual total must be deducted an average of about 30 per cent who marry within two years after graduation. It is reaâ€" sonable to assume that an in | creased number of nurses must be | demanded for the RCA.F., Navy, South Africa and the army. These must come from‘ the numbers ilable This does not take into Wount the possible civilian deâ€" | ‘mands nor the demands in case of emergency. ’ _ It is estimated that there are in training in Canada in an average ‘ year about 11,200 student nurses. The average total number graduatâ€" ing annually is 3,000. There is a very definite lack of well prepared nurses to teach and supervise stuâ€" | dents in training. In Canada there | are only 172 superintendents of | nurses, of whom only 86 have speâ€" J cial training. There are 172 ap~| proved schools for teaching, in which there are 211 instructorsâ€" ; of whom 44 have no special preâ€"| paration and already, as this is | written, a number of these are beâ€" | ing enrolled with the armed forces.
