Even now--the two departments are working in close co-operation in many modern hospitals and re- 'habilitation centres. . Throughout Canada the demand for trained therapists exceeds the supply. Indi- - I" cations are that there -will be an even greater demand for those with training in both. techniques... _ Dr. Smith said that during. World War II, it became' obvious that there was much over-lapping of the two techniques as practised in gen- eral hospitals and convalescent ceentres. It was realized that the Physical . Therapist- would benefit by knowing something of the tech- niques of the Occupational Thera- pist;-and-ilkewise the Occupational: Therapist would increase her scope and value by knowing the tech- niques of the Physical Therapist. Recognizing that the treatments used in 'Physical Therapy and Oe- cupational Therapy. are now firmly established as an integral part of therapeutics, particulafly jn rehab- ilitation, a committee of the Fac- ulty of Medicine has recently made an intensive study of the curricu- lun in the light of modern trends continually developing in convales- cent and rehabilitation centres. ~ Young women trained in this combined course can look forward to employment in general hospitals, orthopaedic and children's hospitals, in rehabilitation centres, menetal "hospitals, sanitoria, curative work" shops and disablement centres, or in private practice. It is expected that graduaté&s of the diploma course will be eligible for membership in both of the pro: _ fessional -associations.

You see, right now. we are still suffering from the big blow 'we had last week. We did not get badly snowed in but our hydro was off for awhile, and when that came on the tele- phone went oft, and hasn't been fixed yet. And that was. six days ago. So many lines were down and of course the repair men can't be everywhere at once so we just have . to accept the situation and make the best of it. . And you know it is. rather rest: ful not haying to listen to the telephone ringing all day long. There are 15 subscribers on our Hne and that means a lot of rings coming in. In fact one has to be Johnny on the .spot to 'get the line when it is necessary to put in a call. It must be nice to have a private: telephone and hear only one's own ring. On a party line one has to be on the alert all the tdme to distinguish one ring from another, Perhaps you are running the washing machine, the vacuum or the sewing machine, or, in my case, pounding the typewriter. The phone starts ringing--you stop, and ring shall be for you. Or perhaps you are sure it is yours and you a__breathlesa "Helle" into transmitter.

I can type away to my heart's content," run the vacuum without stopping to listen, to anything or anybody. But it also produces a sense of fear--suphose you need "the doctor or the vet in a hurry: suppose someone needs you urg- ently and can't get through.
