_10 THE ONAVA JIE, Fridoy, October 31, 1958 17th Mother's Aux. Gives Assistance To St. Paul's Scouts The 17th Oshawa Scout and Cub Mother's Auxiliary was formed in the fall of 1954. It is affiliated with the groups that meet at St. Paul's. Presbyterian Church on Wilson road north. The mothers meet in the Church basement the third Thursday of each month at 8 pm. In October of each year an eléc- tion of officers takes place. The slate of officers for 1958-59 are as follows: president, Mrs. Ian Muir; secretary, Mrs. Douglas Kewin; treasurer, Mrs. Robert Chute; vice-president, Mrs. Jim Morrison, Also elected were so- cial convener, Mrs. Ernest White; sewing convener, Mrs. Ron Crimmings and sick conven- er, Mrs. Anthony Fetchison, Our group donates each year to a Christmas party for the Cubs and Scouts, plan a Father and Son banquet for the group, held in la'e February and early March. In June we donate the money for a family pienic for all Scouts and Cubs at Camp Samac. Our two main methods of rais- ing funds for our group .s with a rummace sale in the spring and an annual bazaar and tea held in October. Victorian Order In 1932 the Oshawa branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses was formed. During the ensuing years, thousands of visits to the homes of our people have been made by the thoroughly compet- en! nurses of the order. Home nursing care is one of the most difficult tasks of the nursing profession. Apart from being a registered nurse, special training at the University level, in public health nursing, is required so that nurses are well equipped to cope with various conditions found in the home. Mothers and babies account for a great percentage of visits while surgical conditions rank second. In the last 10 years the care of older people, who are chronieally iil, has increased a great deal. When federal hospitalization benefits become available a sharp increase can be expected in the number of patients entering hos- pital. Patients will be returned to their homes more speedily than in the past. Home nursing care of a high professional stan- dard, under the direction of the patient's doctor, will be in great demand.

A favorite friend was Panther Bone who at the age of 15 had worked in Charles garden. The early pioneers 'smoked the pipe of peace with Indians and we had no trouble," she said. She remembers stories of the days when hundreds of Mormon settlers travelled across the west: ern plains in covered wagons, bucking the blizzards and rain- storms of the 1890s. In the early days, floods wgre a menace. They were responsible for wiping out several buildings in 1902, a steel bridge in 1893 and another bridge over the Lee's Creek in 1904.
