Ottawa, Sept. 26.--F:ay 500,000 Canadian men and women are qual- ified first aiders holding St. John ambulance certificates and higher awards, said the commandery com- missioner, Col. A, E. Snell, at na- tional headquarters, Ottawa, in a survey of the year's work. In the last year 50,929 persons have qualified for first aid and home nursing awards, an increase of 20,- 526 over the corresponding period of the previous year. War has brought changes and given an impetus to the Ambulance association's activities. Eight thou- sand more women have taken home nursing courses than last year, Personnel of the air raid precau- tion units which have been operat- ing in the Maritime provinces since the beginning of the war hold cer- tificates for the special courses given by the association. A similar organization, the civilian defence committee, which has been set up more recently in other provinces, stipulates the same qualifications. "Not that we are expecting air- raids or poison gas attacks, al- though we give a certain amount of information upon the latter subject," said Col. Snell. "But sabotage of all kinds, the blowing up of bridges or railways or fac- tories are not such remote possi- bilities even here in war-time, and AWAY FROM TERRORS OF AIR RAIDS | we want to have competently (By Edna Blue, Executive Chairman Foster Parents' Plan for War Children.) There is something worse than seeing a homeless child. It is to see a child with half a home--staring at it bewildered, wondering if his mother is beneath the bombed wreckage. There is something worse than seeing a child without bread. It is to see a child starving and so racked with worry that he stuffs half his piece of bread into his shirt so there will be some for tomorrow. There is something worse than seeing a child without a bed. It is to see a child of 14 so shocked from air to his bed each night in a refugee home, These are but a few of the terrors visited upon the' children in count- ries at war. Began in Spain Great mass relief for all must go on--but more than food and cloth- ing should be given the children insofar as that is possible. In 1937, when the civil war was raging in Spain, hor of children roamed the streets. Food one day, none the next, Sleeping in doorways, desert- ed cafes, any place they could find where tomorrow.

In a short time the castles were changed into children's sanctuaries. Huge old kitchens were equipped with pots, pans and dishes. Large reception halls were lined with rows of beds. Others were turned into school rooms. Children were gath- ered off the streets and taken into the sanctuaries. Liked Classes Most Here they were taught to be chil- dren again. Here they received food, | clothing and loving care, Although it is difficult to believe, the thing the children liked most of all were | daily classes. There seemed to be a hunger .for learning--classes were | looked forward to almost as much as meals, and that is saying a great deal. It often took many weeks before | the children could be put at real studies. They were all extremely wild, nervous and undisciplined and could not concentrate for any | length of time even though they | tried. The first few months were, therefore, devoted to singing, danc- ing and drawing. In a short time | there was a dramatic club, and soon | children issued their own | monthly newspaper. Happiness Short-lived This happiness was to be short lived. As the war progressed outlying districts became bomb targets. The | children from one house had to be | moved and doubled up with those the | in another. In time destruction and | | havic reigned over the countryside. | Dreadful days followed. The sanc- tuaries had to be evacuated. In the meantime the staff cabled to Lon- don asking that arrangements be | made for our children to go to | France. Then came the long, weary | march of the children with their | little bundles in their arms. To France It was just at this time that the great masses of Spanish refugees fled to the French border in Jan- uary, 1939, About three days before the border was officially opened to the Spanish refugees, the children under the care of the Foster Par- ents' Plan were permitted to enter France. They were the first of the 500,000 Spanish refugees to come their training. Pitiful scenes took place at the border. Mothers with children beg- ged that their children be taken too, but they were to follow later and be placed in concentration centres in France. Arrangements had been made to receive our children. Large French chateaus were rented in the vicinity of Biarritz in Southern France, New sanctuaries welcomed tired, weary, half dead children. Then came the task of furnishing these. There were ten houses in all. blankets, clothing, medical supplies, furniture, pots, pans, dishes and class room equipment had to be purchased. Friends in England, Aus- tralia and America responded gen- erously. Could Not Return: The end of the war came and it would have been possible to resume work in Spain, but our little charges, many of whose parents had fled to France also, and were in the con- (Continued on Page 9, Col. 7) trained people in every community who could offer immediate aid." A survey of the work shows that on the whole more men than women avail themselves to the St. John association services. Many factories, mining companies, the railways and telephone companies now insist that their men be qualified and pay the fees for theri training. General Training Col. Snell contended that every man and woman in Canada should be trained. Soldiers are being | taught and the commissioner point- ed out its value to a man in the services. "If. he hemorrhage, respiration knows how to stop how to give artificial and get air into the | lungs of a comrade who has been knocked out and has a mouthful of mud, he will probably save his life before a doctor could get to him," he said. More than 25,000 people in Can- ada were cared for during the last year by first aiders whose services | are entirely voluntary. Those who belong to the "Bri- gade," which includes all who upon | qualification, buy their own black | and white uniforms and will sub- | ! mit to a measure of discipline and | being called upon for public sery- ice at any time, have increased in | the last year from 2,773 to 3,330. The total is expected to reach 3,500 by the end of the year. { The bhefurred look is yours this season, if you want it.

MYERS, Ph.D. To the many youths who are en- tering the army and navy, let me say a few words. I know something about the ex- periences you will have, for I served in the U. S Army during the first World War, For most of you it will be a very different life from that to which you have been accustomed. Yet your home train ing will reveal itself continually. The first thing that you will ob- serve is that you must learn obedi- ence. Some things you must do, or not do. At times you will resent the authority over you and will re- sist it. 'This will be foolish as you will soon discover. It will make you unhappy and get you into a heap of trouble, Good Advice I shall never forget the advice Prof. A. T. Poffenberger, eminent psychologist of Columbia Univer- sity, who already had been in uni- form about a month, gave me as he walked with me from the rail- road 'station at Camp Greenleaf outsidz Chattanooga up to the bar- racks. Said he, "You are in the | army now, Garry, try to fit into | the machine and make the most of it. Forget your personal pride. Learn to be a good soldier." Many were the times when I re- called that good advice, especially when some officer with very little formal education but considerable military wisdom and skill Jorded it over me. Though I still suffered | occasionally, I was able to take it most of the time. There will be times when a ser- geant or commissioned officer will appear to be brutal to you, He may go out of his way to remind you of his authority. But if you a- ways remember that you can do nothing about it but adapt your- self and make the most of it, you easily can reserve your inner pride and self-respect while still proving | obedient. Remember it is the in- | stitution you are obeying and hon- | oring rather than the person. Born Bosses It might help you as it helped me, to observe at times how very funny some people bossing us around can be. See that you are | different when you become an of- | ficer! Once you get the hang of things and learn the alphabet of drill and military courtesy and custom, it will grow easier and easier. Then you 'will have abundant time to | dream pleasant daydreams. | Whether in the army or na you will have good opportunity read and study, to improve yow education. Doing so and learnin well the skills of being a good so] dier or sailor vour chances for pra motion will be good. Many a youth has worked himself up from the ranks and become a high grade Of ficer.
