Authorized as Becond Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa. 8, RESPECTIVELY . DEEP ROOTS | Up the Ottawa River some 140 miles from our capital city is the community which has come to be known as the town of Deep River. It is appropriately named for at this point the Ottawa sweeps around a rocky point to make a small lake, follows one of the deepest clefts of any river in the world. It is reported that at this point the rivers well over 2000 feet in depth . . . .so deep in fact that it is a rather simple problem to obtain here natural heavy water which is of such great value in atomic research. And atomic research is the regson for Deep River. ol Some few miles from the Chalk River plant the Canadian gov- ernment has created a model town for the people employed in the. many different phases connected with nuclear research. Here are homes for technicians, specialists of all sorts, clerical staffs and others. Perhaps nowhere in Canada is there a.greater col- lection of degrees per capita than here--from Ph.D.'s to ordinary B.A.'s they are ubiquitous. - . . But for some facts; the town has a population of about 2000, has been steadily growing since 1944, contains excellent accom- modation for family living at normal rents; has a special shopping "centre which is more than adequate--including a T. Eaton Store with phone and mail order service--an eight room modern school has attempted to take care of the rapidly expanding child popula- tion--for children are all over the place . . but school facilities are . being increased--at present high school students must go into Pembroke some miles south. The location for this town is most striking . . . beyond the blue sweep of the Ottawa River in swelling contours rise some of the highest ridges of the. Lauren- tians whose rocky, wooded steeps respond to light and shadow with magic effect. - The town has been set among trees-and the broad avenues save been well landscaped; the houses are set in ample lots--a|- central heating plant, modern sewage and sanitation, hydro- electric system. All provide the best in the way of service. In many ways people would consider those who live in Deep River to be very lucky. Here amidst beautiful surroundings lies a model town where housing and employment present no problems. In diverse ways the cost of living is somewhat reduced in com- parison with that of other places of a similar population. The people whe constitute the populaton are a select group of intelli- gent and highly interesting character. But in spite of all the obvious advantages of life in such a community, the roots of this community do not go deep. Al though there is an excellent recreation centre, clubs of various descriptions and other additional services, Deep River is not without its serious problems. There is in no sense of the word self-government of the local community--there is no home owner- ship, there is_no church as such; there is, in short, no real sense of purpose in the life of this unique community. Although most of the people have a speaking or nodding acquaintance with the other members of the town, Deep River is not a friendly place. The population is divided into two main groups; those who are married and have home ties and those who occupy the beautiful and Capacious Staff House fronting the main street.--The social problems that arise from such a definite split are obvious and ap- parent, =. | | It seems rather strange that a model community set in such. surroundings and peopled with many of our most intelligent should . produce a way of life which in so many respects lacks those virtues i Tri-County oe which we have come.to associate with the small Canadian Com- munity. - : : ky - -~ Baseball Organized Fourteen teams, including a new entry from 'Beaverton, are expected to enter the Tri-County Baseball Lea- gue at the scheduled meeting in Man- illa on May 10th.

Billie Bell-Greg has an attractive personality and a friendly approach which instantly endears her and the company to-all who were fortunate enough to hear this fine show. As each member comes forward to do his or her part in song, or with ventrilo- Quism we feel that we know them and s0 enjoy the performance even better. All of high calibre the solos, chor- uses, duets and the skit with "Butch" were greatly enjoyed by all present. It is hardly fair to single out any one artist but certain numbers were remembered with particular pleasure: The humourous 'Chicken Song'; Butch manipulated by June McQuillen very cleverly; the Irish and Scotch num- bers of John Agnew and Marvy Moore; the lovely voice of Varda as she sang "Love is Universal"; the piano play- ing of Wealthy Lewis, boogie artist; well just evepybody really. We: hope the Men's Clab will be successful in arranging a return of this happy company again. . ------ eo Obituaries WILLIAM BOWLES 'After a months" illness, William Bowles died at his home, April 14th, in his 90th .year.

These were what Professor Weall labelled as two commandments that a gardener should follow when planning the view from" your kitchen window. Guest speaker at the Junior Farmer banquet held in the Port Perry United Church on Friday evening, April 27th, Professor Weall captivated ands held the attention of a packed house as he combined his talents of an artist, humorist, lecturer, and horticulturist. Using a blackboard and coloured chalk, he illustrated his subject of "How you can make your view from the kitchen window beautiful in all seasons of the year. He praised the beauty of the tree and said that when you make your choice of a tree-it should be-done with care and knowledge of its ultimate height and chosen for_the duration of ...the time you expect to stay there. The flowering crabapple, Linden, Clodbush, Junebush or the Witch- hazel are suitable trees for your planting as they don't grow too tall and they have an abundance of bloom, A lawn is a thing of beauty and re- creation -- reserve a large aren for lawn and nothing else; leave wide open spaces enjoy and to use. This was the professor's ad¥ice as he spoke on the subject of lawns. Pre. pare tha deeply, have them well drained ahd fertilized with plenty of manure and loam. 4 to When seeding your lawn he advised that it was more practical to do so in the month of August. The tempera- ture is even, there is little .weed com- petition and you have more time for sowing seed, LT | He gave the following recipe for landscaping your grounds. | B--for beauty. "KE--for economy, why. use two of any- , thing when one will do. A--Accord. harmony in colour. - U--for utility. T- time and thought for example Choose a tree with an understand- ing of how big it will eventually grow. Y--for_you, your own personal taste and you will ereate something and will have pride in it. ) During the. professor's talk lie re- tferred several times to the landscap- ring of the Community Memorial Hos- pital and he enthusiastically praised 'those. who chose the site. It has a 'commanding position with good drain- "age and far enough away so as to not "disturb patients. One of the first things to consider in the landscape plans should be, "where will you park your car?" ! The professor said that he would i present the landscape plans at a later date for the hospital. Weall. Two unexpected, but very welcome guests at the banquet were two west- ern Cahada Junior Farmers delegates to-the Provincial Junior Farmer Con- ference which was held at Guelph in April, Pete Berger from Parkland, Alta, and Ed, Ness from Carmangay, Alta, both spoke briefly \praising_ the hos- pitality of the people of Ontario and extending a welcome to visit Alberta, Hite - Eastern Star BLUE RAY CHAPTER O.ES. On Monday evening, April 30th, a goodly number attended a euchre held Nursing Career at R. V. Maternity Comes to Close After Forty Years (Montreal Daily Star) A musing career of more than 10 years came to a close with the re- tirement of Miss Islay Hiscox, Assis- tant Supervisor of the Maternity Division; Royal Victoria Hospital. Thirty-four of her 40 years in nursing were spent at the Royal Vie- torvin. Miss Hiscox was on duty when the first patient was admitted to the R.V.H. Muntreal Maternity Hospital in 19206. . "Those were hectic days," she said. "We had just moved in from the old Montreal Maternity Hospital. Every- thing was brand new but none of us knew where anything was." "We had fifteen badies the first night." : ~g» i And babics she has dealt with ever since. Asked how many children she had helped bring into the world Miss Hiscox laughed. - "1 couldn't begin to guess," she said. "You lose count after the first 10,000." First Nurse of New Hospital Miss Hiscox joined the staff of the old Montreal Maternity Hospital in 1817 immediately after she had re- turned from Cincinnati where she took her training and spent four years in an eye, nose and throat hospital. When the Montreal Maternity was ab- sorbed by the Royal Victorin Miss' Hiscox was the first nurse on duty in the new hospital. AU that time she was in charge of operating rooms and CHSE-FOOMS, ~~~ In 1935 Miss Hiscox was appointed assistant supervisor of the hospital and earned. international recognition of her abilitics by establishing the first Milk Bank in Canada. The Bank has been one of her chief responsibilities and she has watched it grow until today it is one of the most efficiently operated, banks on the continent. The milk, which is frozen and kept in deep freeze lockers is used in the feeding of prematnre babies. "It has helped us save a very great many infant lives," Miss Hiscox said: Mother's milk from the R.V.H. was flown to Callander, Ont., when the Quints were born and did much to keep the tiny sparks of life alive in those famous children. In Chage of Formulae 4 Miss Hiscox was also in charge of the formulae room where feedings for all the new-born infants in the ma- ternity division are prepared, steri- lized and stored." R Another important phase of Miss Hiscox's work at the hospital has been the training of student and graduate nurses. The staff of stu- dent nurses at the Royal Victoria Maternity changes évery 3 months and Miss Hiscox has been responsible forthe teaching and training of at least 11,000 nurses. During her 40 years in nursing Miss Hiscox was never once sick and she never missed a day on duty. "I've worked hard but 1 have ways enjoyed it," she said as completed her plans to return to her home near Port Perry, Ont., to spend her retirement, EE i It has been a toll sand Cgatisfying career and will provide me with hap- py memories for the rest of my life," Asked what part of her nursing career gave her the most satisfaction Miss Hiscox replied: * "Oh it's the babies I love."
