hospitals throughout the countryris the shortage of nurses New hospital building is add ing hundreds and hundreds of beds each year and hospital insurance has resulted in increased hospital use comments The Owen Sound SonTimes Increasing numbers of young girls are entering the nursing profession but the increase is not sufficient to make any serious inroads into the shortage It must bearemembered that all nurses who train in the schools of nursing without pay do not stay in the hospitals after graduat ion Some go into public health nursing some the Victorian Order of Nurses some into industrial nursing and number in other fields Many are married soon af ter graduation and do nursing only on parttime basis Hospitals are faced with the necessity of staffing their institutions for 24 hours day and the shifts from am to pan from pm to 11 pm and from 11 pm to son are not the most at tractive although they are the best suit ed to efficient operation of the hospitaL Nursing staffs are usually geared to handle the rated capacity of hospital On one occasion last week in the hospital Eoï¬Ttï¬ers wereeightplitients in bids in the corridors on the surgical floor alone This situation did not last long although it is noLuncoillmontohavepatientsin playrin life the corridors but it did place an added work load on the nursing stall if nurse becomes ill andcannot re port for work and replacement is not available the nurses on duty must share an even greater burden The Job of the nurse is not always pleasant There is great satisfaction in giving comfort to sick and injured and in restoring another human being to health Butit is most assuredly depres sing too to be constantly confronted with people in pain knowing full well that some of them will not recover If the nursing shortage is to be over come the profession must be made as at tractive as possible Wages paid to nun es must at least compare with those paid in occupations where the work is less de manding and where weekends are al ways free Many of our teachers for ex amplepmake $100 week or more on the basis that they are free in the summer holidays Teachers are important but nurses are iustas important in their fields It is true that the answer lies with hospital boards to increase wages of nurses burn is equally true that the public must be willing to accept resulting higher hospital costs The care of the sick is yitally im portant but this care cannot be given without an adequate staff of trained nurses well satisfied with the role they Best Guardian Of Liberties What precisely is meant by that fam iliar phrase freedom of the press Fundamentally it is not special Driv ilege reserved for newspaper publishers It is rather phase of much larger freedom the freedom of all men to speak theirminds openly and without fear lho press claims no right which should not belong to every citizen in democracy But freedom of the press is an allimportant part of this larger free dom because under modern conditions the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives thcvin formation he needs to Judge the actions of his rules and make up his mind on public affairs Without newspapers or with only gagged and blindfolded ones he is in the dark and helpless An un lettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of democratic na ion If any proof be needed it is supplied by the record of the totalitarian dicta torships which have darkened the twent ieth century Rigid control of all sources of public information and especially of newspapers was the cornerstone on which all these regimes Nazi Fascist and Communist alike were founded Without it they could hardly have lasted for more than few months With it they could keep their peoples in blinkers
