Alan Holmes, Managing Editor of the Galt Reporter, said the members of the party would be better able to write on the question and make suggestions as to how Canada might absorb some of Great Britain's un- employed as a result of their visit. There were many thousands of men not suitable for Canada, he said, but, taking Wigan as an example, he thought one might be able to select several thousand from Lancashire towns who could be absorbed, pro- vided they were willing to go on the land and work as learners for a few years: There were still opportunities in Canada for men willing to work, he pointed out. They might become owners of land and the possessors of several thousand dollars in a period of about ten years.

FRENCH OBJECT TO GIRLS NURSING Mile. Jeanne de Joannis Served in Morocco, West- ern Front and Salonika Parig.--*'Being inferviewad is a new experience for us, you know, the French woman does not talk," gaily remarked Mllé. Jeanne de Joannis, superitendent of the School for Nurss,, Rue Amyot, Paris, and secretary of the French Nursing Association, as she settled herself for the ordeal. Mille. de Joannig related a lovely story about the house in which her work is done, The house in the Rue Amyot is situated in the Mon- tagne de St. Genevieve, who is the patron saint of Paris, and is in the vicinity of the Sorbonne Univer- sity, This interesting house, which ig built aroud an old world eourt, was founded in 1540. The legend runs that a counter- feiter lived in this house, and in order to hide his treasure he con- cealed it in drawers in each stair of the staircase, "You would not know there were drawers, and they have to be drawn out by the finger-nails' added Mlle. Griner, director of nursing at the Ecole de Puricul- ture, which is in connection with the University of Paris, and who is accompanying Mlle, Joannis. Both nurses described the hiding places in the cellar, one of which is a deep well which connects with a street some distance away. Now, ad to relate, this man unfertun- ately possessed a wife who had an abnormal faculty for. tulking, and he was always in terruy lest she reveal some of his secrets, One day he yielded to tempta- tion and threw his wife inta.the wlel. But this did no geod, for the wife's spirit veturned and haunted him. Also, from that day, there were whisperings in the well. For that reason the house basama * known 4 "La Maison du Put Qui wi in experiences, was one of those indomitable women of the French Red Cross who went to the front to serve the day the war be Red Cross, you promise to serve ip case of war,' she Three years war, Mlle, Joannis was in Morocco as head of a Red Cross group who first year. the war Mlle. oo ved A the western front, and years she was : i French dele- Questiond, 'these Sates about the the French woman was taking In aviation. French woman is not as interested in this as the women of other countries are, but she hastened to add that women were being accept- ed in all walks ef life now, especi- ally since the war, Concerning sport, and especially channel swimming, Mlle, Joannis, whose English was the more facile of the two, stated: 'The French woman, who is fundamentally in- tellectual, is not swept off her feet by the prospect of thrills in sport." Mlie. de Joannis is alsp inspec- tor of schools for hygiene, and she works under the directiem of the minister af hygiene, Her work takes her from Marseilles to Nantes and from Rouen to Stragsbourg. The Rue Amyot school for educa- ting professional nurses is the first of its kind, as this work had hitherto been done by nuns. According to Mlle Joannis, there has always beep strenuous objec- tion by French families to their daughters studying nursing, Strange to say, the French nurse- in-training is obliged to pay fees, as well as for uniforms and books. The French nurse is well edu- cated, and because of the French educational system there is no need to teach the nurses physics, chemistry or anatomy. Mlle. Greiner is of the Edith Cavell Hospital, and was person- ally acquainted with that heroic woman. L'Ecole de Puericulture is a centre for instructing doctors who have their pest-graduate diploma. In connection with this, Mlle. Greiner said, there was a child welfare centre, and one of its unique features is that here one- week-old babies are given Dr. Calmette's vaccination against tuberculosis, FERRY CUT IN THO BY SPEED BOAT Four Injured When Launch Leaps Through Super- structure Sarnia, July 23.--Four persous are in hospital here and several others had a narrow escape from death Sunday night when two boats met in the St. Clair river and un- House With the Well Joanuts a woman rich' She before the Seat : ere. studying colonial diseases. | According to Mlle, Greiner, the | Red Rose Tea comes direct to us from tHe finest fo 'RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE is i then straight to your grocer =-brimfyl of gan, "In France if you are in the| derwent something new in marine adventyres. . The incident occurred near Cor- unna, about six miles down the riv- er from this city. The Ventura, gasoline ferry boat, owned by Stan. ley Gillham eof Sarnia, and driven by Oscar Smith of this city, was plying her peaceful way aeross the river to Stag Island. On board were five passengers bound fey the aunce pavilion on the island, Suddenly a motorboat loemed upon them. It literally leaped through the superstructure of the ferry and, clearing everything be. fore it, continued on its course on an even keel. The ferry boat was literally cut in two, the bow and stern clinging together by virtue of the keel, No passengers were injured on the ferry, everyone leaping either to the bow or the stern, One pas- senger, however, was too late and threw himself prone in.the bottom of the ferry. He lives to boast of being the only man who ever haa a speedboat jump over him. All four passengers in the speed- boat, owned and driven by Charles Fead of this city, were injured by the glass and woodwork of the ferry through which they were carried. They are in hosptal. Besides the driver there are Louise Dawsuu, Sarnia, and Grace and Margaret Eaney of Port Huron. None are in serious condition. The accident is attributed te a freighter that was passing down the river at the moment. The ferry had swung to awaiting is passage. The speedboat apparently swung around the stern of the freighter and leaped on the ferry before a crash could be averted. The acel- dent occurred at 8 p.m. during day- light. The ferry was navigated to shore by Pilot Smith, the motor in the stern not having been injured im the crash. When it arrived at the dock it' was practically cut in two and would not have travelled much further without sinking. It is expected that at least 250 geologists and prospects will work in Northern Alberta and the terri- tory beyond this summer in search of mineral areas. Several compan- ies will carry out extensive field work which will form the basis for future activities. : RG With the bringing in of the fit teenth well in the Viking natural gasfleld in Alberta the daily produce tion in that field ig now 86,700,000 cubic feet.
