Tf U1L5 shortage continues more -nake breeding may have to be established in various parts of the country for the South African Medical Research Institute 's in desperate need of snake venom to produce serum for distribution to hospitals, medical Institutions and doctors. The South African Institute has never before required such great quantities of venom as at present. There is a tremendous demand for snake serum, particularly that-produced from cobra venom. Just over two years ago the first experimental snake farm was established near Addo in the Cape Province, one of its main purposes being to breed snakes. Lord Wedgwood, once stated: "It is the press In America which takes the place of parliament in England. Theirs is the executive, theirs is the responsibility; here is that left-centra which always guides humanity forward." Returning Service Personnel Records Are Being Sought The Dally News is anxious to completely record the arrival of all service men and women returning home from the war. Accordingly, It Is requested that information be made available to this office regarding the date of arrival home, the service with which the veteran has been Identified, in wha'. theatres of war, if wounded, ill, etc. If inconvenient to call at the office, the information may be written or telephoned in.

SKELETON STAFFS RUN I IIOSPITA L WARDS continued from Page 1) 1 creased the burden of hard-pressed hospital staffs. The nursing profession still attracts more girls than can be trained in most of the 170 civilian hospitals operating schools throughout the country, but a large percentage of them upon graduation, turn to Industrial nursing where the pay is higher and the hours more regular than in hospitals. Others find employment in military hospitals and Department of Veterans Affairs Institutions. The nursing schools graduate approximately 3,500 nurses annually, but they cannot continue preparing nurses in the numbers required for the variety of services In which they now find employment. The result has been an impasse which can only he overcome by re-organizing the entire profession. Plans of the Canadian Nurses Association and the Canadian Hospital Council are being made with this end in view. "The association and the council now are embarking on an exhaustive study of the various angles presented by this problem and will work out recommendations for a satisfactory solution," said Dr. Harvey As-new, of Toronto, council secretary. "A number of other organizations Including the federal government arc being invited to participate in this study and it may prove necessary . . . that a considerable revamping of the duties of the nurse in the hospital and of her educational preparations may have to be done. "Much thought is being given to the development of schools for the training of nurses' aides, or assistants, as major contributors to a permanent solution. Meanwhile provincial governments and even the communities themselves have taken steps to encourage girls to go into the nursing profession, and to make the hospital Jobs more attractive. Am limiting Nurses' Salaries In Halifax, increased salary scales for nurses in the city-controlled tuberculosis and Infectious diseases hospitals have been approved by Halifax city council which has established an annual salary scale of $1,080, plus living-out allowance for registered nurses. Wages in NS. hospitals have averaged $(;0-$90 monthly with room and board for. general duty nurses. The Association Itself sets private nurses rates at $5 for an eight-hour day and $7.50 for a 12-hour day. During the last four years the Quebec government has given between $30,000 and $10,000 a year in $100 training bursaries as well as other bur-saiies to help would-be nurses obtain the necessary qualifications of passing fourth year high school. Montreal hospitals are managing to flip quotas for nurses-ln-tralnlng, but a scarcity of applicants is more noticeable In outlying districts and in smaller towns. Quebec province urgently needs at least 612 hospital nurses. In Montreal's St. Justine Hospital, which this August had 145 cases of lnfatlle paralysis, there was a shortage of 55 general duty! nurses. At Gait, Ont.. the Public Utilities Commission has authorized a grant of $3,500 toward the opening of a nursing school at the city hospital. In Peterborough, Ont., in order to stimulate enrolment for fail classes, 10 local manufacturers sponsored an advertisement which attracted a large number of student nurses into the fall classes. The city council of Owen Sound, Ont., has arranged for a vote of taxpayers on a $300,-000 grant toward the building of a $500,000 addition to the hospital, to Include a new nurses' training school and residence A total of $100,000 has been obtained already by public subscription. Applications Numerous Applications from girls anxious to go Into nursing generally have been plentiful, although in some cases outlying centres have found them scarce. At Windsor, Ont., officials at Grace Hospital report their fall class has been filled and already half of the application.'; for the February class have been received. Toronto General Hospital nursing school reports the fall class totals 72, 12 more than last term, and all the school can possibly handle. At the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, applications have had to be turned down this year for the nursing course. The class this term totals 35, double the number in 1943, the first year the course opened.
