Nurse is Also Doctor to 2,690 Newfoundianders

—Central Press Canadian
Nurses at La Scie, Nfld.. have found they are the Pioneers of
their profession. They operate in a territory where there are no
doctors or dentisis, no roads and no transportation other than their
own two feet. On one 10-hour visit to Horse Island. 15 miles from
La Scie, where English-born Kathleen Quarmby is assigned as dis-
trict nurse, she pulled 70 teeth, gave 70 inoculations and examined
300 patients. Her winter trips are made by snowshoe, many in
snowstorms. In summer she travels by boat or on foot. ‘The -re-
sponsibility is terrifying,” says Kath’en, but the satisfaction. of
doing one’s best is reward enough for Nurse Quormby, seen above
about to sel off on another case with ‘a bit of help’ from Norm
Toms, owned of La Scie’s general store. ‘

‘opulsion may be strictly for the mechanized birds, as far as
most citizens of this supersonic century are concerned,
a family in Calgary who would argue the paint. After living in
the same house as a pet squirrel for the past 10 months, the Green
family are convinced that their furry friend has cracked as many
sound barriers ashe has nuts in his frantic flights through their
once-peaceful rooms. “Kippy,” the Green’s pet squirrel, was picked
up at a mountain camp last Jun> by a group of wolf cubs. The
Green tamily adopied her, took her home and for weeks kept her
alive wilh eyedropper feedings of warm milk and liquid pablum.
She was a quiet, frightened animal in those days and spent most
of her Lime snuggled in a box of batten, . But as the months
went on and she grew strong on a new diet of nuts, 1 pablum
from a bowl, small portions of apple and now and again a bit of
chocolate, “Kippy” gained confidence in her surrov gs and made
friends with Mr. and Mrs..Green and their young sons, Edward
and David, seen above with pet. Now she is like “one of the family.”
