An acute shortage of nurses does exist in certain hospitals and in certain types of nursing, particularly in the psychiatric field and public health. More hospitals and h being built, while existing ones are expand Health Insurance plans enable more people ‘New drugs and medical treatments require more and more highly skilled nurses. More than 15,000 girls are enrolled in 171 nursing schools across Canada, but experience has shown that almost half of these will get married a few years after graduating, which ~ partially explains the continuing shortage of nurses. There is one obvious way to solve this problem; recrnit more nurses. Rut many high school girls who desire a nursing career and who would undoubtedly make splendid nurses are prevented from entering training chools for financial reasons Upon leaving school, family circumstances make it imperative that they become engaged in some gainful occupation. They cannot afford to spend three years or School with little or no recompense for work performed, al- though they are aware that the instruction and knowledge gained during the training period will, when they have grown to womanhood, greatly outweigh the lack of any immediate pecuniary gain. It would appear that, as in other forms of education, greater financial support should come from governments and other imterested groups for nursing education. B.C. Department of Education has put into pratice a plan to attract more recruits to the teaching profession by granting loans to potential teachers who desire to attend normal] school. The loans are repaid in small installments after the earning period begins. 2 Something similar should be done, for young people who desire to take up nursing as a profession, which is at least as important as teaching in so far as human welfare is concerned. -——Prince George Citizen.

No matter how much Mr. Bennet believes in his political way of lifé or how wonderful he feels it may be and how beneficial to ‘millions of people throughout the world” it will prove, surely he cannot feel it is right to explain his political philosophy in a description of the teaching of a man whose name has survived unbelief for 2,000 years? No doubt this explanation will appeal to the people, who, through untold references to God in Socred political campaigns, have been led to believe that Social Credit is a holy crusade. But what of the others who are not easily swayed with rabble rousing speeches, Will they look with favor on Mr. Bennett's lapse in taste? Mr. Bennett is not likely to convince many people to think highly of Social Credit because of his biblical allusion. It is more likely they will remember that it has also been said that the devil can uote the scripture to his own purpose. ealth agencies are ing their services. to go to hospitals. more in a training Only recently the The Cracker Barrel Forum By A. J. Drinkell - In London England a crew of Workmen uncovered the ruins of a building, 200 B.C. The Social Credit League of reputedly built around British Columbia has just announced a discovery that puts the temple of Midas completely in the shade. The gue has unearthed a complete replica of the townsites of Sodom and Gomorrah, complete with in- habitants and not one worthy soul could they find in thé lot. The crime which makes these is that of being willfully negligent in their duties in order to bri about the fall of the government. In future when you go to the liquor store and are requested to pay 3.85 plus tax for a bottle of half and half (%4 water and % rye), things about the governnemt, but remember it is just the Liquor Com- missioner attempting to get the gov- ernment into a bad pickle. Should your car get stuck agoin in that mudhole you will not need to castigate the government for not appropriating funds to fix it because it will be entirely due to the district engineer doing his utmost to drag the government through the mire. If the Game Warden pinches your neighbour for an infraction of the Game Act please run immediately to the president of your local Social Credit League and-advise him the officer is setting a trap to engulf the government. Should the Government Agent tell you she cannot let you g have your car licence unless you put up the cash to pay for it she is de- liberately trying to discredit Victoria. | All these public servants and thou- sands of others are deliberately and Willfully being inefficient. Not just the misfits — the whole of ‘em.

Now, on the other hand, if a gov- ernment plane happens to be parked on the Kamloops Airdrome when a certain minister is occupying a pul- pif there that is pure co-incidence The fact that it happens to be there quite regularly does not alter the fact. You have the word of the rey- ered gentleman he never uses it ex- cept when on governmeht business: You must not wonder how it is the government business around Kam- lops is in such a tangle as to require the minister to make constant efforts to unravel it.
