"'Big Career' Waits For Aviation Women By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer London -- (AP) -- "The sky's the limit for career women in aviation" seems to be the consensus of wofnen in thé industry. ' At a meeting of the Women's En- gineering Society .in London, seven women who have competed success- fully with men in "almost exclusive male territory" gave their opinions on their jobs. "We want to tell young women there is a big career waiting for them in aviation," said Miss I. J. Ferguson of the ministry of supply aircraft division. ; Mrs, Beatrice Naylor, principal scientific officer at the Royal Air- craft Establishment, Farnborough, added: "I have found very little prejudice against women in senior jobs. I was determined to be an en- gineer when I .started pulling my bicycle to pieces as a child. I have never regretted it." A young engineering student who won the first scholarship awarded by the Women's Legion said: "...I would not dream of changing my career. Aerodynamics are fascinat- 2" A qualified ground and flight en- gineer, Miss Pat Parker, said: "In my job you must be prepared to work long hours. There are only three or four of us women in the eountry with licences. The best air- craft to start on for practical ex- periencé--the Tiger Moth." Pat added a tip for aviation hope- fuls: "Get the chief engineer of your local flying club to give you some voluntary work." The only woman controller of fighter pianes, Flight Officer Clare Legge, told the meeting: "I am proud that the service has opened its radar branch to women. There can be no better jobs for members of the WRAF.' Miss M. Douglas, captain of the 1948 British Olympic gliding team, said that while there is no money in gliding, "it gives a marvellous training in aeronautics." Mrs, Sheila Roche, 34, technical officer 'of the Air Registration Board, hates flying buf during the war became an engineering instruc- tor with the A.T.A. and says: "I knew then that teaching was my job."

It seems that with the advent of springlike weather, residents of Toronto and suburbs are turning their attention to wild flowers. as well as preparation of garden and flower beds. "Everyone should have a hobby and mine is wild flowers -- those wonderful gifts of nature," Charles Lane of Toronto, formerly of Valentia, says in this connection. He points out that there have been meny changes in Ontario in recent years and warns that unless wild flowers are preserved, many of the Province's favorites will be lost. He says that city home-owners can add greatly to the beauty of flower beds and garden with cer- from their natural surroundings, care should be taken to see that they are planted in a position as near as possible like the one from which they were obtained. He ad- vocates constructing rockeries and if necessary providing shade for the transplanted flowers. Discussing specimens he says that wild orchid may be found in swamps or marshy places. Most varieties need considerable mois- ture, in fact will do best if the roots are kept in mud or wet black muck. However, the crown should always be kept dry. The earliest wild flower to bloom is the yellow ladyslipper which is the driest growing variety. It will thrive in any cool shady spot where there is good loam. Then there is the moccasin flower, so called be- cause of its unique shape of flower in rose-pink tints on a stem ten to fifteen inches tall with a pair of dark basal leaves. Then there is the grass pink. The Habenaria Dil- latela, white: in color, is another beautiful wild flower. There is also a purple variety.

TO WOMEN Woman in North Finds Bear Diet All Part of Job Prince Albert, Sask.--(CP)--Men say that prospecting in the rugged northland of Saskatchewan is a man's job. But Nan Morenus, at- tractive redhead, thinks otherwise. Nan, first an actress, then a writer, now believed to be Saskat- chewan's only woman prospector, finds the search for minerals in the land of jagged rock, bushes and jackpine and exciting--and often profitable--way to earn a living. She passed through Prince Albert recently with her partner prospec- tor, John Albrecht. He was one of the major discoverers of uranium in the Black Lake and Stony Rapids region. They've staked claims north of Stony Rapids, about 400 miles north of Princé Albert ami a short hop from the Northwest Territories. "It's a base metal," they, say cautiously. "It's still too premature to say exactly where and what for." Nan has spent about two years in the vast expanse of unknown Saskatchewan with a few eastern trips to break the isolation. She is well aware of prospecting dangers. Early last spring, while mushing their dog team into the heart of Stony Rapid's treacherous terrain, Mrs. Morenus and Albrecht took to the lakes and streams even though the time for the ice breakup was nearing. Without warning, they found themselves, the dogs and sled slowly sinking through the ice. "We were on crusted snow--the most dangerous and hardest to gauge of all ice," said Mrs. Morenus. They "swam" ashore, by crawling with a swimming motion over the surface of slushy snow." But the dogs--andthe precious supply sled--were stuck 100 feet from safety. John Albrecht made two trips to. pull the lead dog inch by inch to shore. Towards the end of Lhe prospect- ing season last year, the pair, cut off from Stony Rapids by an early freeze-up, were forced to eat bear meat for more than a week. Albrecht, a veteran of the North, first started prospecting in the early '30's. He combined trapping and prospecting in the northeastern part of Saskatchewan, In 1948, with Deroy Tobey, he made the uranium discovery that is being developed by Nisto Mines on Black Lake, one of the well-| known properties in the North. Uranium was the cause of the Morenus-Albrecht partnership. Mrs. Morenus wanted to stake claims in the area where Albrecht first found the radio-active mineral and asked him to accompany her. R.N.A.O. Seeking Government Action Toronto, April 3--(CP) The | Registered Nurses' Association of | Ontario is seeking legislation to give it more control over the edu- cational standards, curriculum and registration of nurses.
