NW AE. 0 JSETa 0 neview Uj marcn XY is rr RE Reed ean l HomemakerService Of Local Red Cross Aids Needy Homes If one were to glance for a moment into any one of several homes in Oshawa where the mother is ill, one might see an efficient, kindly-looking women in the neat blue smock and white veil of the homemaker busy feed- ing a baby, and directing an older girl in setting the supper table, while the younger brother is fill- ing the woodbox. In the bedroom, the mother is comfortable and con- tentedly eating an appetizing sup- per. Everything is in order and clean, and the home has a friend- ly, happy atmosphere. What is all this? It is one fo the many services of the Red Cross in action, right here in Oshawa. This is the Homemaker Service, one of the latest ventures - which was S started in Oshawa last year by this One of the jobs which the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian- Red Cross nutritionist, who last fall held nutrition classes, open to the public, free of charge, in the Nurses' Training School. She hopes to be able to repeat these classes this fall. Mrs. McIntyre also works with the local Welfare Depart- ment, Public Health Department and the Well-Baby Clinic, helping families to budget carefully and buy nutritious food. Important as is the Homemaker Service and Mrs. McIntyre's job, they are by no means the only services rendered by the Oshawa Red Cross. Mrs. T. K. Creighton and Mrs. A. W. Smith, coriveners of Welfare and Disaster, are constantly busy helping deserving families who have been wiped out by fire or by supplying out of the Red Cross Red Cross Society is proud to be cble to provide for residents of Oshawa and East Whitby is its Home" place of the mother . ° "or Service. Competent, traindd women take the the home when she is ill and remove the burden of worry about the children's welfare which would other wise rest upon the father. goodwill organization. The Home- maker Service was first .establish- ed in Toronto in 1932 by the Red Cross. Today there are 18 services established in the province. Cares for Families The aim of the service is to sup- ply competent, practical women" to go into the home to care for the family while the mother is ill. The mother's mind is at rest because she knows that her family is look- ed after. Important too, is the fact that the homemaker has an excellent opportunity to teach many of the arts of . homemaking to young mothers who are often eager to learn. A period of two weeks is the usual length of time the homemak- er spends in a home. Longer ser- vice is given if necessary. Chronic cases 'requiring months" or years of service cannot be undertaken. This service is within the meens of all, because the family pays only what it can atford. The usual hours that these homemakers are in the home are from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. with slight adjustments to meet individual needs. Homemak- ers do not live in. Last eyar when it was decided to establish a Homemaker Service in Oshawa, the local Red Cross Committee consisting of Mrs. C. S. Lee, convener of the Women's Workroom Committee, Mrs. T. K. Creighton and Mrs. A. W. Smith, conveners of Welfare and Disaster, Mrs. Norman Millman, secretary, and Mrs. Frank Chappell, member of the women's executive, met with Miss Nesta Hinton, Provincial Di- rector. They agreed to carry out the activity under her supervision. The service has to be financed by the local Red Cross budget, as the fees never cover the entire cost. Miss Doris Moore, Reg. N., was se- lected by the Oshawa Red Cross committee as the local supervisor to be responsible for the selection of the homemakers, alloting the cases, supervising the work, -and arranging meetings to discuss prob- lems as well as further the train- ing in homemaking. Miss Moore holds a class of in- struction for the homemakers once a month, and after a homemaker has been in the service for a suf- ficient period of time, she is sent to Toronto for a two weeks' train- ing course. So far, two of Osha- wa's homemakers have taken this course, ' Miss Moore also investigates re- quests for the service by visiting the homes, ascertaining the cir cumstances (which are kept strict- ly confidential) and visiting the home while the homemaker is there to see that everything is go- ing along nicely. She is also re- sponsible for the collection of fees. The homemaker does not go into the home in the capacity of a nurse or a maid. She will serve tempting meals to.the mother, if she is in bed and will give simple bedside care under the direction of a doctor or a nurse. A great deal more could be writ- ten about the wonderful work being done by the group of home- makers in Oshawa, but space lim- its detail and those who are inter- ested, may contact Miss Moore or Miss Mary Quinn, chairman of the Homemaker Service committee. More. important will be the dona- tions made to the Community Chest from which this worthy or- ganization, through the Red Cross, is able to continue and increase the sould weil ib has accomplished in the short space of a year, in Oshawa. Plan Nutrition Classes Working in direct conjunction with Miss Moore and her home- makers is Mrs. Duncan McIntyre, » Loan Cupboard such sickroom sup- plies as towels, bedding, crutches in various sizes, wheel chairs, and even hospital beds. These are loan- ed free of charge. Recently a letter was received from a Jocal family whose home and furnishings were eompletely de- stroyed by 'fire and 'who were not covered with insurance. In the let- ter, they expressed their' very sin- cere thanks to the Red Cross for helping them out by supplying them with many of the necessities of furniture and clothing' which were burned in the fire. At present in Oshawa 20 homes have had the use of wheel ehairs from the Red Cross Loan Cup- board. The use of these chairs, in many cases, means that the handi- capped have a fuller life and a chance to travel . . . and opportun- ity, even to.attend a movie or a concert, which otherwise they would miss. One particular case was of a young lad in Oshawa, who because of the opportunity for the use of a wheel chair from the Red Cross Loan Cupboard, was able to travel and see Niagara Falls for the first time, The use of a hospital bed from the same cupboard has bene- fited heart cases. Another job which Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Creighton do and which is of inestimable value to the com- munity as well as to the individual, is the assistance they give in ad- justing family relations. They have settled , misunderstandings with many of the mew English brides who have come to live with their husbands in Oshawa and who have found life different and confusing. They 'have' helped the new bride to 'balance her budget; and have suggested helpful ways of pacify- ing an irate husband. ' This fall Mrs. Smith hopes to be able to commence classes in Home Nursing, with a registered nurse as lecturer. It is hoped that those interested in this project will con- tact her at the Red Cross Rooms, 20 Albert Street. Another branch of the Red Cross are the local work rooms, on Al- bert Street. Although most of the work of this branch of the service is 'sent overseas, it is no less im- portant than the other services. The women of Oshawa, under the convenership of Mrs. C. S. Lee, knit and sew for the destitute persons of Europe, and while the war is over, their work continues. | In a letter received by the Osh- awa branch of the Canadian Red Cross from the Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society in To- ronto requests were made for help for destitute persons overseas. It stated that 130,000 articles of cloth- ing were needed for overseas relief. Knitters as well as donations to supply the knitters with wool and needles are urgently needed in Oshawa, Mrs. W. J. Trick has just turn in her knitting done ost a .| Summer months--56 pairs of stock- ings, washed and pressed, ready for shipping. This brings here total of socks knitted since the start of World War II to 924 pairs. Mrs. A. T. Pascoe and her daugh- ter, Emily, have completed, to date, 471 'knitted baby garments and children's stockings. Mrs. Trick, Mrs. scoe and Miss Pascoe are only three of the Oshawa women who have helped with' the necessary knitting and sewing of the Red Cross. Red Cross rooms are open Monday, Thursday and Friday af- ternoons, from 2:15 to 4:30 p.m. These various services provided by the Red Cross right in your own community must be financed, since priv donations do not begin to cover, expenses, and the services of Ontario Spotlight Toronto, Oct. 15--(CP)--Willard Abrams, young steeplechase jocke who was fatally injured at Wood- bine race track Oct. 2 when his mount, Rice Cake, fell on him, died f: internal bleeding caused by a ruptured spleen, it was learned Thursday.

KeepArms,BanAtomBombs, Archbishop of York Urges York, England, Oct. 14-- (Reuters) --Dr. Cyril Garbett, Archbishop ef York, Thursday urged Christians to outlaw the atomic bomb, but added that in an armed world the Demo- cratic state must also be armed to make its influence felt on behalf of justice and freedom. "Pious resolutions will not deflect by an inch the will of a state bent on violence," he said. Dr. Garbett, making his presi- dential address to the Convocation of York, defined the Christian's du- ty at the present time thusly: 1. "The Christian must never give up hope of peace; he will support the continuation of negotiations, however exasperating their length." 2. "The Christian sees in the un- bridled sovereignty of nations one of the chief dangers to peace , the Christian therefore should sup- port the United Nations as an at. tempt to limit national sovereignty. "The frequent and unforseen use of the veto in the interests of mat- ional sovereignty has gravely jeo- pardized both the work and influ- ence of the United Nations unless the veto is restricted the United Nations will fail, as the League of Nations failed to preserve peace." 3. "The Christian should support all proposals which may remove or reduce some of the worst horrors of war, He must therefore press strongly for the outlawry of the at- omic bomb. Its use in war may re- sult in the end of our civilization and the reversion of those who sur- vive to primitive conditions of exist ence. yg "The Christian should also press for some international agreement which would forbid obliteration bombing. A form of warfare which causes untold ruin and agony, fol- lowed by years in which the home. less herd together in shelters and cellars." . » 4, "The Christian, with all his hatred of war and passionate desire for peace, must recogni»: that war is not the worst of all evils, "The utter degradation of man, the loss of human rights, and the trampling underfoot of all that is righteous and true is an evil worse than war. The Christian must therefore be ready to resist to the last the unjust demands of an ag- gressive totalitarianism."

Harold O'Connor. of the Univer- sity of New Brunswick and Art Reid, Ottawa medical student, worked for the Dominion Depart- ment of Indian Affairs, removing beavers from farmers' property. The farmers are not allowed to do it themselves because of the rigid hunting laws, designed to protect the animals, "O'Connor and Reid say Beavers eyen en their dams are blown up with dyna- mite.

In a decision which appeared®- partially to meet provincial ob- jections to the March boost, but to fall short of being a clear-cut vic- tory, the Cabinet Thursday in- structed the six transport commis- sioners to: 1. Review the 21-per-cent crease. 2. Consider provincial complaints and increased railway revenue from higher international and competi- tive freight rates. 3. Relate any revision of the March order to its decision on subsequent application by the raii- ways for an interim increase in rates of 15 per cent to be considered in gJanuary. Commenting on the Cabinet de- cision, Premier Manning of Alberta described the Order-in-Council as "wholly unsatisfactory." Attorney- General Gordon Wismer of British Columbia said the provinces have won a "partial victory" in their fight against increased freight rates. Premier McNair of New Brunswick said the Order-in-Coun- cil "confirmed in substantial meas- ure" the position of seven provinces opposing freight rate increases. The cabinet's instruction that "any revision" of the last increase should be made in conjunction with the subsequent application appeared to mean that the 21-yer-cent jump in- would, in effect, stand. Scaling it downward would apparently take the form of disallowing or reducing the application for another 15 per cent. The railways have applied for a 20-per-cent increase in rates in ad- dition to the March raise allowed them. The application for 15 per cent is merely an interim request until the permanent one is con- sidered. N The cabinet stated in the Order- in-Council that the arguments of the provinces dealing with the basis of the March award has fave orably impressed them. The essence of the provincial contention was that the Board should have made the railways draw on non-railway earnings to meet fixed charges, in- come taxes and dividends and that these could not properly be re- garded as a charge solely against railway operations. The appeal of the seven provinces --Quebec and Ontario did not join the others--was heard three weeks ago. Earlier the Cabinet had, in response to provincial objections to the March award, ordered a full inquiry into freight rate structures by the Transport Board and an- nounced that it would appoint a Royal Commission to study trans- port problems generally.
