In four years at the Grenfell Mission headquarters in this northern Newfoundland commu. nity, she has found "something different"'--long hours, low pay and practically no social life.

SPARE TIME In their spare time--what little they have--the nurses sew, knit, crochet, play badminton and table tennis in the high school auditorium, and occasionally at- tend the movies where three times a week films of a year or older are shown. They depend on the radio for their up-to-date news and wonder how delivery of newspapers and magazines, usually weeks late, could be speeded up. Rev. Patrick McCormack drops by occasionally to sit in at a game of bridge. Miss Cattell, in charge of the nursing station at Roddickton, Nfld.,, uses dogteams to get around. Once she dangled by her legs over a cliff when the team upset. "Happens all the time, you know," she shrugged, When a reporter asked if he could visit her station, she re- plied: "Ever travel on a dog- team? Ever deliver a baby? Might have to, you know."
