Daily we read of deeds of mercy being perâ€" formed and acts of kindness beâ€" stowed upon all patients in their sphere of wprk. Accordingly we search through the annals of history to learn more of the life of Florence Nightingale and how she chose her noble profession. We learn that she was born on May 12th, 1820, the daughter of very aristoâ€" cratic English parents who lived in a palatial English home. Their one desire was that Florence should be sheltered from the hardships of the world, However from her very earliest childhood Florence Nightingale did not apâ€" preciate this secluded life but disâ€" pl?ed a keen interest in nursing and long before she was ol enough to be allowed to visit any of the hospitals, etc., she spent day in and day out nursing her dolls and testing her skill and inâ€" genuity on the treatment of their imaginary ills. â€" 2o It was her parents‘ keen desire that she be presented at court and | when she was in her teens they took their daughter to London for this, as they thought, the great social event of her life. But the easy life of society held no apâ€"| peal whatsoever for Florence| Nightinfale and every time that she could find an opportunity inâ€" stead of visiting those of the rich class she slipped away to visit hospital patients and to see and stugy how they were being cared for. She was really appalled at the conditions she sawâ€"uncouth and untrained nurses pretending\ to minister to the ills of the sick’ and with no system whatever of direction or sanitation. This bothâ€" | ered a girl who had the inborn genius for nursing very much beâ€" cause she knew that training was the very greatest essential. _ . Eomm oys en de ds t From her frequent visits to the London hospitals, Florence Nightâ€" ingale became more and more deâ€" termined to travel to the continâ€" ent to study. She finally obtained permission from her parents, who considered it much beneath the dignity of a true lady, to enter the nursing profession. She got some training at Kaiserwerth on the Rhine river and at Maison de la Province in Paris, and then for a while she returned to London as supervisor of the Harley Street Hospital. Her return to En§land 00e oan i en e neneet t had been with a burning desire ; to improve the conditions in the | hospitals there and to impart muchâ€"needed knowledge for the treatment of the sick and woundâ€" ed. Just as she became busily enâ€" gaged in this the Crimean War broke out. Reports came surging through to England of the great numbers of soldiers dying because of the neglect of an ignorant meâ€" dical service. At this time the story is told of a letter written by a friend of hers, Mr. Sydney Herbert, who held the post of secâ€" retary of war, asking her to take charge of and bring order out of chaos in the military hospital at Scutari, that crossed in the mails with one she wrote offering her service. Immediately this inâ€" borne heroine called together a little group of trained nurses and on October 21st, 1854, she started for the Crimea with a band of fortyâ€"two nurses to make history in the nursing profession. When she arrived at the scene of warâ€" fare she found conditions were much worse than she had evet even anticipated. Not only was there no semblance of any saniâ€" tation but also carelessness of inâ€" fection, ignorance of even the simplest health rules and worst of all, willful neglect. From reports we are told that when she arrived at this warâ€"time hospital fortyâ€" two per cent of the men were dyâ€" ing but a short time after she had taken complete charge, only lwo‘ per cent of the wounded proved fatal. As she worked day and night amongst her soldier patients she was ever a shining example of unwavering courage and unâ€" failing energy. Her nightly cusâ€" tom was to pass down the aisles and corridors where lay the sick and wounded. As she went she carried a lamp in her hand in orâ€" der to see that each one was as eomfortable as human hands could make him and because of this kindly act the men bestowed upon her the name, "The Lady of the Lamp". Many times she wa called an angel of mercy and very often the men kissed her shadow as she passed by. As one writer has said, "It is a curious thing that herâ€" name just contains enough letters to make the senâ€" tence "Flit on cheerful angel", and truly it can be said to be a fitting designation for one with so noble a soul At the close of the Crimean War a sum of money amounting to about $250,000 was collected to be given as a gift to Florence Nightingale. England dispatched a manâ€"ofâ€"war to bring her from By Mrs. Clarence Scutari m:lnshnnod a wonderful welcome reception for her but as dvu& not desiring to either seek limelight or be in it, she quieuf slipped off and returned to England unceremoniâ€" ously and unannounced.‘ She laâ€" ter thanked England for the wonâ€" derful gift but instead of keeop;i.:s it for herself she used it to f the Nightingale Home for Nurses which turned out to be the first of hundreds of such training schools for nurses. Although she never sought merit she had the > nousEnoLD FINANCE #HE WATERLOO \ E Don‘t |\ _ #% Clean up old bills!

In this same connection hangs a tale of how a beautiful set of comâ€" munion silver, two pieces of which are still being used in St. John‘s Anglican Church, Elora,| found its way from the hands of Florence Nightingale to this little town in what was then known as the New World. Some few years ago Elora pubâ€" | lished a chronicle of its history |, and in this was found the name |, of John Smithhurst who was born | . at Lea Hurst in Derbyshire, Ehf- land, on September 9th, 1807. In | ; his early years he was employed | ; with a firm who manufactured |, machinery for the spinning of yarn. But about this time, so the | j story unfolds, John and a cousin ) of his, both fell in love with the || same girlâ€"Florence Night'ulx_fale, ] who was also their cousin. Howâ€"|, ever John Smithhurst won out|, and for a time he and Florence were engaged to be married. But| the latter‘s heart was very restâ€" less at this time as she seemed to have but one desireâ€"to pursife| ihe: h(e-lonf ambition and to deâ€" vote her life to the nursing proâ€"| fession. Using her very great perâ€"| suasive powers she finally got |John to come out to America as a missionary to the Indians. He came and for twelve xears from 1839 to 1851 he labored faithfully as the superintendent of a mission | and the chaplain for Fort Garry | which we now know as the city | of Winni‘gg. Then he took a trip back to England where he visited for a year and found his sweetâ€"| heart ‘still determined to make« nursinfi her lifeâ€"time profession. So John Smithhurst, unable to persuade her to marty him, reâ€" turned to Canada but this time to Elora, Ontario. It was then that he brought with him the lasting remembrance and reminder of her friendshipâ€"the set of three pieces of communion silver. On the unâ€" derside they bear the Latin inâ€" scription which, when translated reads as follows: "Acting as agent or factor for someone, Ebenezer | season is allowed it would be late Hall gives as a gift this set Of‘enough to enable Indians and communion silver to Rev.

Consider Open Season on Moose TORONTO.â€" An open season on moose, for Ontario residents only, and north ‘of the northernâ€" most transcontinental â€" railroad, may be permitted this year, Lands Minister Scott said toaay. â€" ‘Take Inventory \Of Waterfowl _ The department is studying the question, Mr. Scott said, and if the season is allowed it would be late Mr. Scott said the department is considering an open season on deer throughout the province on general licenses, to decrease crop damage by deer in agricultural areas The inventory covered the more important wintering areas of game species of waterfowl in Canada, _ Alaska, the _ United States, Mexico and the West Inâ€" dies, as well as parts of four counâ€" tries in Central America. While more than 1,200,000 waterfowl were reported in Canada the number wintering in the United States is many times as great. This year‘s midwinter invenâ€" tory of North America‘s migraâ€" tory waterfowl indicated that in general the waterfowl stocks of the continent are at a level apâ€" proximately equal to that of 1949. In British Columbia alone more than a million waterfowlâ€"chiefly ducksâ€"were counted by direct pbservation and aerial photograâ€" phy. This represented an increase of about 50 per cent over 1950 figures due largely to delay in southward migration on account of the wild winter. In the Maritime Provinces alâ€" most â€" 90,000 _ waterfowl â€" were counted. Here an apparent reducâ€" tion from the 100,000 of a year ago may have been due to the mild weather permitting the birds to disperse among the lakes and marshes whereas normally they tend to concentrate in a few key areas. About 45,000 waterfowl were observed in Ontario; some 32,000 in Newfoundland. Waterâ€" fowl wintering in the remainder c{)f Canada were comparatively ew. In Eastern Canada sea ducksâ€" eiders, scoters and oldâ€"squawsâ€" were generally more numerous than a year ago. Black ducks were fewer except in Quebec. Mallards, the popular game ducks of Western sportsmen, were seen in satisfactory numbers, chiefly in the Pacific Coast region. The rare trumpeter swan continues to reâ€" spond well to protection.
