Played Key ilols in Forestry Ass’n '

A‘ man who has played s. key role tn conservation education of the Canadian people, Robson Black. has relinquished after 33 years his executive duties with the Cana- dian Forestry Association. While continuing to cooperate with the association as President Emeritus. Mr. Black will henceforth devote himself substantially to the inter- national scene.

At present he is making a lecture tou-r of Britain and many of his reports from aboard are scheduled to appear in Canadian and United States publications.

llew Ayrshire Herd Test Plan

The chore of weighing the milk of an Ayrshire cow on R. O. P. test after each milking will be done away with, when the new Ayrshire Breeders Herd Test Plan comes in- to effect within a fcw months, states Major McRne. Central Roy- alty, who has returned as delegate of the P. E. l’. Ayrshire Breeders’ Club from the annual meeting of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders’ Association in Montreal. .

This new test plan has already had the approval of the Depart- mcnt of Agriculture. It was pre- sented at last week's meeting ‘and spcoved by the Association. and now awaits the official approval of the Minister of Agriculture before going into effect, stated Mr. McRae. Under the new plan, breeders will not be required to weigh the milk daily. Production will be estimated from the weights taken by the in- spector on his. monthly visits. It is believed that other breeds intend to adopt this herd tcst plan.

Another New Policy

The Association adopted another new policy regarding R.-0. P. In future. all breeders entering herds for R. O. P. tests. must enter all pure-bred cows in their herd, with the exception of cows over twelve years old and cows who have lost two otVmore quarters, always pro- viding that these latter have prev- iously mode an R. O. P. record.

Successful in the object of his visit. Mr. McRae announces the Association's approval of two Marl- time Directors in place of the single Director which has been the rule to dntc. Mr. McRuc initiated this move himself during his term as Maritime director which ended last, November. One Director had too much territory to cover and consequently the job was not being properly looked after, declared the delegate. The present director is D T. MacDonald, Subenacudic, N.

It is expected. when finally ap- proved by the Department of Agri- culture. that the second director will be elected by mail ballot. sometime‘ before the fall.

New Plan

A new Approved Sires and Dams Plan was put through at the meet- ing. Under this plan the average production of all. ho emphasized

hi1, daughters o! a sire is consider-

ed when ratlng the standard of the animal. In the past. a bull's rating could be exaggerated by selecting a few outstanding producers from amongst his daughters. The new policy -will ensure a more realistic rating. ’

Mr. McRae reports the largest meetings in the history of the As- sociation and the highest number of registrations and transfers of the Ayrshire breed ever recorded in one year throughout finds.

111s Conservative Daily Tele- graph and the Dally Graphic both published reports that labor is pre- pared to go to the country if it holds seats in three by-elections to be decided shortly. The Govern- ment's ten-n of office ends in 1000.

The Daily Telegraph said that. if Labor succeeds in the Kunmorsntith South by-eiectian next-Thursday an election is is in May or June. The Crap c ssidtsbor would like to know the results in the pending Scwerhy and St. Pancrss North by- eleotions also before deciding whether to call a general election.

The- Hsznmsrstnith by-eleaticn is the liveliest contest since Graves- end a year ago when the Labor candidate squsssed in and held the seat. for the Government with s silmmarsin.

Quarterly , Meeting 0f Q llurses Ass'n

The regular quarterly meeting of the Prince Edward Island Refl- lstlered muses Association was held in the Training School of the P. g, I, Hospital yesterday afternoon and evening. ‘Ilalrty members were present. Mrs. Lots MacDon- ald p. ' .

Routine business was transacted and the following report of i319 C. N. A. executive meeting which was held in Montreal Jan. 27-30, 1049, was presented by the presi- dent.

Mbmbers of the nursing profes- sion from all the provinces of Canada were in conference st these sessions which bacon at 0 a.m.. adjourned at noon for s. hasty lunch. and than continued until at least: 5:30 or 6 p.m.

The meetings were all of a busi- ness nature and included nun-Y "- ports which were dismissed M! great length. As t-he national re- ports were read. it was very ep- parent that the problems confront- ing one association were, in most cases. common to all the othtr sis- ter associations.

It seems to me that all the mm"- bers of the P. E. I. R. N. A. should be very keenly aware of what is going on for. although our Associ- ation is smell, we are faced with numerous paOblOmS involving re- ports to sturdy and replies to for- ward to National Office.

Assistance With Placement of

Nurses From DJ’. Camps

At the request of the Deputy Minister of Labour. Ottawa, rep- resentatives from the c. N. A. have assisted the Federal authorities re- sponsible for interviewing and placing nurses from displaced per- sons camps. Miss Novena. Mac- Kenzie has assisted one of Na- tional Office secrctaries with this work. Cmdentials are “ kad and the nurses are placed, pre- ferably in Hospitals conducting Schools of Nursing. Forty-five such nurses have been placed to date. They are placed as Nurses

Aides practically in the domestic

level for the first year. Nurses will be accepted on the basis of all other nurses. Some are mar- riei, or widows with children. but. i-he nurses’ association accepts no responsibility for the children. They are the responsibility of the Government.

The registration of these nurses is s. provincial matter.

Affiliation Fce ,

As you have heard frcm the let- ter read the C.N.A. are asking the provincial associations to increase the affiliation fee from $1.00 to $2.00 per annumn We are mem- bers not. only of a provincial org- anisation, but a national organiza- tion and also an international body of nurses. The intcmational organibation is trying to become re-established after the ravishing war years. The Phn-opesn coun- tries are asking the American countries for Assistance and an increase in affiliation fees. Can we as a provincial organization help? You must. decide this ques- tion today.

At the last biennial meeting a committee was set up to draft n. code of ethics for the O-N-A- M158 E. Frances Upton reported that her Committee expect to have a Code of Ethics ready to propose to the C. N. A. Executive before the spring of 1049 arrives.

Miss Agnes MacLeod. Chairman of Committee on Educational P01- icy presented herreport. Several motions from her report were re- ceived i.e. (1) That this Commit- tee go on record as reconrmend- lng that esoh Provincial Associa- tion of Registered Nurses aDDOllllF an Educational Policy Commlttci". if it. has not already done so. and that these committees follow the national pattern of representing all nursing interests.

(a) 'I'hat the chairman o! all provincial Committees on Educa- tional Policy be _ cmviwlldlnfli members of the National Com- mittee on Educational Policy. one of the projects- of the Educa- tional Policy c i ittee for lb! biennium was to take steps to- ward accreditation of Canadian Schools of Nursing. It was recommended that the C. N. A. should develop as soon as possible s, good basic program for na- tional evaluation of Schools of Musing. so tharthcre will be uniform standards throughout Canada. It is impossible to carry out this project st this time due to lack of finances.
