Al Local Clubs Keeping New EMO Officer Busy The knowledge that residents on the fringe of a prime target area can survive a nuclear exâ€" plosion, is rousing many Weston and Etobicoke residents to take steps to learn the rules of surâ€" vival. This increasing readiness on the part of the public to face up to the horrors of nuclear warâ€" fare, and their determination to survive the initial holocaust is pointed up in the steady demand on the lecturing services of the West zone branch of the Emerâ€" gency Measures Organization. Home and School and ratepayâ€" ers associations, service clubs, and other bodies have hosied EMO officials as guest speakers in recent months. Dave Marchant, the recently appointed Acting Zone Controlâ€" ler said that Weston organizaâ€" tions, particularly Weston P.U.C. and the Council of Women, have shown great interest in survival techniques.

Two weeks ago Council voted in principle to support the Socâ€" iety in their application to the Ontario Government to have the site declared historic.

Mr. Sanders started his court work in 1937, when Senator Arâ€" thur Roebuck was Attorney Genâ€" eral. There was just one court in York County at that timeâ€"in Toronto. There are now eighi courts sitting regularly in Metroâ€" politan Toronto, some of them with multiple courtrooms. Court is also held at Newmarket, Richâ€" mond Hill and Buttonville in York County. Mr. Sanders joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941, servâ€" ing for four years. Part of that time he was a judicial officer on courts martial. He returned to Weston after the war and went back to work at Adelaide Street court. In 1954 he went to Willowdale, where he has served as Crown prosecutor ever since. THE KYU SHIN Judo school put on a demonstration in Northern Etobiâ€" eake this week to the delight of a large group of youngsters. Henry Bull, Q.C., Crown Attorâ€" ney for York County said of Mr Sanders that he had exemplified in the highest way the standards of the Crown and the excellence of his work could have a good influence for years to come. Mr. Bull was speaking during | a presentation ceremony at Wilâ€" lowdale Court.

Staff of fthe Engineerâ€" ing Dept. of the Town of Weston also took courses in Radiation Monitoring and Shielding Analyâ€" sis, a highly, technical course which deals with the evaluation of existing buildings with regard to their radiation and fallout shielding properties. "The next series of courses will commence in the Fall," said Mr. Marchant, "when individuals as well as organizations will be able to attend our lectures. The public is no longer so apathetic about their chances of surviving an attack," he said, "and we hear less and less of ‘why bother, if the bomb doesn‘t get you, you‘ll be dead in 48 hours anyway. "People are beginning to rea: ize that if they live even as close as five miles from the centre of the blast, there is a definite chance of coming out alive, and that ten miles from the exploâ€" sion, their chances are officially rated as ‘good,‘" he added. ial owner, had also purchased neighbouring properties. . Attending that meeting, Mayâ€" zel swore to Council there were "asolutely no strings attached!" "I‘m opposed to supporting the Society because there are more strings than meet the eye." said Carroll. I would like to see this whole problem laid out on the table in front of me before I vote for anything. What is there stopping Mayzel from subâ€" dividing that extra property and building an office building?" enâ€" quired Carroll. _ "Where did you get that idea asked Reeve Ozzie Waffle. commission hearingâ€"cutting the cake," he quipped. Magistrate Fred W. Bartrem, Q.C., spoke warmly of his associâ€" ation with Mr. Sanders and made a presentation on behalf of the court officials and staff. Mr. Sanders said that he had really become to busy to go on working. He is an enthusiastic fisherman, a regular on the curlâ€" ing rink, interested in reading and in conservation and, of course, in managing a resort lodge on Lake Simcoe with Mrs. Sanders.

They are available free of charge in any quantity to indiâ€" viduals or groups. Standard textbook for all resâ€" cue techniques ‘used by EMO is a British publication based on lessons learned during the Gerâ€" man Blitzkrieg of WW2. Much of its contents will be "old hat" to Mr. Marchant, who was a member of the Civil Deâ€" fence during the ‘41â€"/4243 Lonâ€" don blitzes. "Rescue groups are available for any disaster, natural or manâ€" made," said Mr. Marchant. "If anâ€" other hurricane such as Hazel were to strike the area, trained rescue squads would be available to local authorities the instant the Attorney General declared it a ‘Disaster Area,‘" he said.

"I would like to know how much this Montgomery Inn is going to cost the township?" "I can‘t see how we are being involved financially?" said Counâ€" cillor Dave Lacey. Councillor _ Andy â€" MecDonald stated Mayzel‘s possession of the property does not officially take place until July 1st. Legally the Presbyterian Church still holds the fand. "Mayzel has only made an offer to purchase," explained MacDonald. MacDonald said if the Inn was declared a historic site and Mayâ€" zel does not buy it he then can forfeit his $2,500 deposit and concentrate on the neighbourâ€" ing properties he has already purchased. "Right now there are three _ deals," _ said Carroll: ‘"There is the Church‘s, Mayzel‘s offer which is legal and binding and the offer made by the Hisâ€" torical Society." The five councillors against the resolution stated the Historiâ€" cal Society can have the Inn deâ€" clared historic without their supâ€" port.

STINSON Hospital Pres. Urges New School of Nursing Schools for the training of nurâ€" ses should be established at once in connection with the eleven Department of Veterans‘ Affairs Hospitals and the three Veterâ€" ans‘ Homes _ now â€" operated. throughout Canada by the Otâ€" tawa Government, Ralph B. Cowâ€" an, president of the Board of Directors stated on June 1 when he presented a brief from the Northwestern General Hospital before the Royal Commission on Health Services. It was holding its final sessions for Canada in the Sir Daniel Wilson Building at the University of Toronto. "The allâ€"pervading problem in Canada today of the shortage of necessary staff to meet the health needs of the nation deâ€" mands immediate and positive action," Mr. Cowan declared. ‘The number of graduate nursâ€" es now being registered each year is so far short of the h quirements of the country it is recommended that new schools of nursing should be started at Veterans‘ Hospitals, such as Sunâ€" nybrook, in a crash program," he continued. The brief pointed out that the modern concept of nursing stems from the experiences of Florence Nightingale in Turkey and the Crimea. Student nurses at vetâ€" erans‘ hospitals could be exchanâ€" ged in three or six months shifts for student nurses at other hosâ€" pitals, thus giving the students a well rounded training in all types of hospitals. Mr. Cowan stated that the new schools should be started withâ€" out any residence accommodaâ€" tion whatsoever. Young girls learn to be doctors, dentists, lawâ€" yers, artists, architects without having to "live in." Why then should ‘student nurses have to sleep on the job. It is the only career open to women in which the trainee has to leave the norâ€" mal life of students of her age and disappear into a residence. Students at the D.V.A. Schools of Nursing should come at nine and leave at four, he continued. Another â€" feature of _ nurses training that the brief decried is the present "in service" feaâ€" ture. Mr. Cowan stated that stuâ€" dent nurses of the future should be paid by the hour for any serâ€" vice they render so that they would be able "to work their way through school" in the same manner as all other students. It was .proposed that the course should be only two years long, the same as now prevails at Torâ€" onto Western Hospital and the Ralph B. Cowan Metropolitan Hospital at Windâ€" In view of the fact that preâ€" vious submissions made to the Commission had emphasized that only 21% of trained nurses reâ€" main in the field of health care, largely because of marriage, Mr. Cowan made the suggestion that the Ottawa Government should make a determined effort to perâ€" suade married women, aged beâ€" tween 35 and 42, to take up the study of nursing at day schools, HEAD FOR THE SIGHTS... THE LAKES ... THE FUN FOR A MAN WHO DOES NOT PUSSYFOOT ON THE 1SSUES because at that age many mar« ried women find themselves & lone at home with the youngest child of the family now . at school." He feels that many such women would welcome the op portunity to train for a NUFS@ while living at home. The entire plan could be fin= anced through the system of Uniâ€" versity Grants now in operation at Ottawa, and by diverting to these schools some of the money (Continued on page 8)
