Mr. J. P. Nicholson for the Crown.

First witness to be called was Dr. Donald Campbell, Charlotte- town. who told of examining the injured boy shortly after 5:20 p. m. on Tuesday at the Prince Ed- ward Island Hospital. Dr. Camp- bcll stated he believed death to have been primarily caused by shock, accompanied by a crushed chest and pelvis. The injured lad died at 7:15 p.m.

Dr. Wendell MacDonald, Char- lottetown, then reported on the findings of X-rays taken after the boy's death. He stated there were no injuries to the skull or spine, but the left side of the pel- vis was crushed and the stomach displaced.

Dr. J.R. Murchison, Hunter Riv- er. told the jury he had learned of the accident when Ross Math- eson came in his door at approxi- mately 4:l5 p.m. saying the in- jured lad was in a car outside. He was conscious at the time and was lying on the rear scat and able to talk. The boy complained of much pain and the witness said he then called the boy's pa- rents, who lived a short distance away, and then sent the injured lad to the hospital in an ambul- ance.

The witness concluded by stal- ing he did not think the truck, which weighed a total of about seven tons with its lead, could have run over the boy. He stated it was his opinion that the lad had been crushed between two surfaces.

Corporal Johnston of tho R.C.M. P., then produced pictures of the scene of the accident which he had taken on arriving there that day. He said he had checked the truck and found the brakes and steering gear in good working or- der. He then produced a sketch of the driveway with measure- ments.

Mr. Willard Wigmore was called and stated he sold fish and was from Bradalbanc. He had arrived at the Weeks' farrn shortly after the accide l. and had moved the truck in order that he might be able to drive past to get Mr. Weeks who was working in one of the fields. He did not remem- ber which gear the truck was in when he started it up.

Driver's Testimony

Sixteen-year-old Ross Matheson of I-Iunlter River told the jury he had been driving the truck in which he and the deceased were delivering cement to the farm of Mr. Chester Weeks, Fredcrlctbn. He stated he was employed by Mr. P. J. Noye of Hunter River. They had stopped twice to ask the way to the Weeks' farm and un' entering the driveway had asked a young boy who came out of the house where his father WIS.

The youngster had then sat in the middle of the seat and the deceased had descended to'direct the driver along the difficult driveway. Witness said Johnny had been walking "along a bank by the driveway and the first he knew of an accident was when he heard Johnny yell. He had backed up a little and descended to find the injured boy lying be- tween the front and rear wheels, with his head towards the front of the truck.

Corporal Johnston: was recalled by Mr. Nicholson and said the bank on which the deceased was said to have been walking was from one to one and a half feet high at that point. He also said there was a mark on the side of the bank as if somcone'I foot had skidded down it. -.

Initiation Into Irish Society

llllaclennan Returns From interesting Tour Of Britain

The travellers spent three days at New Cumnock, the heart of Robert Burn'a country. and re- turned to England. They visited Leeds, then " nchester where they were royally entertained by Miss Burrows, of Bagulay Ema- torium, who once came to Canada on just such a tour. ,

After a trip which took in many more places. of which only a few are Bath, Salisbury, Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight, they re- turned to London for a N. A.P. T. executive meeting. and went on to Birmingham. Miss MacLennan remarked upon the modern meth- ods ln use and the immunization and diagnostic clinics in Birming- ham, which is the third largest city in Britain. She awarded spe- cial praise to the rehabilstion scheme there.

While in that part of the coun- try they visited Warwick Castle. attended a performance of Richard II Part II in Shakespeare's Thea- tre at Strstford-on-Avon and vis- ited the playwright's home and Ann Hathaway's cottage.

Their last trips were to Wales. Cambridge and Maidstone. and they got back to London in time to attend, in their last week, a meeting of all the malrons in Britain, at which the Minister of Health spoke.

TB Control Problem

The tour, however. was ,prlm- arily designed as an opportunity for them to study conditions as they exist in Britain today. Visits to many institutions, health can- tres and rehabilitation centres were included, and they found it interesting to learn how the tre- mendous problem of controlling tuberculosis has improved since 'the war. Today, the British peo- ple are becoming tuberculosis con- scious and, if as much work is done in the next five years as in the last five, the incidence of tub- erculosis should decrease rapidly. now that it has started to do so.

One factor which has handi- capped this program is the short- age of nursing personnel, and at the present time, the responsibil- ity of caring for tuberculosis pa- tients rests upon a comparatively small number of people. Many hospital beds which could be used are closed because of the shortage of staff, and hundreds of patients are awaiting admission.

Miss MacLennan outlined the steps which the Ministry of Health has taken to combat this condi- tion. It has raised staff salaries and improved living and working conditions. '

In an attempt to reduce the waiting lists, two hundred patients.

not previously hospitalized, are being sent to Switzerland this summer, where there are excess

hospital beds and personnel.

In addition, the Ministry of Health has requested the general hospitals to admit some of the urgent cases for treatment until they can be transferred to sans- toria or chest hospitals as they are now called to Britain.

' Nursing Recruitment

Extensive campaigns for re- cruitment of nursing personnel are being carried out continuously. Since the war the popularity of nursing amongst men has increas- ed, and Miss MacLcnnan says that it is a common sight in a men's ward to find that the nurse in charge and the staff are all men. Periodically they found hospitals which did not support this pract- ise, but such hospitals were in the minority. Male nurses were seen doing exceptionally good work in operating rooms and one was found as an instructor of nurses. In Canada, the Canadian Nurses Association endorses the employ- ment of male nurses.

After discussion. with many British matrons about the short- age of nursing staff, they reached the conclusion that the general hospitals should affiliate with the chest hospitals, so that all nurses. on complet of their course, would know how to treat the tub- erculosis patient. It has been found that such nurses become interest- cd in the work and many return for permanent staff duty. This practise is well established in a few chest hospitals, and where it. has been carried out, the matrons report no shortage of nurses.

Preventive Measure

Miss Machennan said that all new staff members are tubercu- losis tested, and if nccess y, are given B. C. G. vaccine, This pre- ventive measure, along with med- ical technique, protects the staff from contracting the disease. .

She remarked that in many Canadian Provinces students from general hospitals are taking. vol- untarily, a two month's course of instruction at sanatoria. and that the latter report no staff short- age. Nurses are often anxious to work in a tuberculosis insti ' where they feel they are render- ing essential nursing service which will enable many patients to re- turn to normal living.

Before leaving last night for Re- gina, he said that Lower Van- couver Island conditions had him baffled. "There are no clouds and no thunderstorms in this place," he said.

Today growers faced their 40th successive day without measurable rain, just one day short of an all- time record.

The weatherman predicted "few clouds, little change in temperat- ure.
