FAMOUS NURSE Thc‘first British Army nursing service started when Florence Nightingale took 4 nurses to, the
partment have visited numerous homes throughout the Province. advice has been given on many and varying types of social prob- lems. clothing and food was provided for needy families and reports submitted by Departmen- tal representatives have enabled various Departmental committees to provide financial help to needy families during periods of misfortune. times of unem- ployment, etc.
“The amount expended for this purpose was approximately $65, 000,00 and in addition to this an amount of approximately $30, 000.00 was expended to help the families of those suffering from tuberculosis or former tuber- culosis patients who are attempt- ing to reestablish themselves in community life. ln addition to those types of assistance during the year some 260 families were helped: through Mothers Al-l lowance grants. Approximately $75,000.00 was paid out under these allowances.
“The year 1958 was an except- ionally busy one for our Division of Old Age, Disabled and Blind Persons Allowances. To give the public some idea of how many are bilng assisted and amount of help being paid out from this Division at the end of December, there are 722 people in receipt of Old Age Assistance, 544 are re-‘ ceiving Disabled persons Allow- ance and 89 are in receipt of Blind persons pensions. Amounts paid out in these three forms of assistance during year total ap- and $55,000.00 or a gross total for the Division of $820,000.00. CHILD WELFARE
“In the field of Child Welfare wonk during the year the very small staffif of this Division made numerous calls throughout the Province, rendered counsel to many unmarried mothers, plac- ed a goodly number of children in homes of adoption. and pro- vided shelter, care and main/ten- ance flor some 200 neglected chil- dren who had become wards of the Division. Total expenditure under this Division to the end of December for these neglected Children and for the few juvenile delinquents which also came under jurisdiction of the Division totalled approximately $55.000-00- “At Beach Grove which has a capacity of 164 patients, 200 of our older foil: were given shelter and care during the year. The harddwonked staff at this Institut— ion deserves a lot of credit for the grand job they did during the year not only in caring tor the patients but on the splendid con- dition in which the building was kept at all times.
LABOUR
“As in past years the Depart- ment has maintained most cor- dial relations with both represen- tatives of Labour a-nl Manage- ment of the Province. The De partmental policy has been to give fair consideration to repre- sentations from both Labour and Management and everything possible has been done to assist both these groups in every way with their various problems. Dur- ing the year amendments were enacted to both the Wotlumen’s Compensation Act and the Trade Union Act by the Provincial Leg- islation and it is felt in the De- partment that these amendments now give this Province two ex- cellent Act-s which will be both most beneficial to Labour and Managment alike.
“ln addition to Certification of certain Locals as bargaining agents with their employers dur- ing the year, Departmental of- ficials had the pleasure of wel- coming to the Province visiting representtives of Labour and Management ongvanizations. Var- ious matters have been talked over from time to time with these ropresemtatriwes and it is felt that through these talks and other ef- forts of the Department a great- er understanding of the problems of both labor and management 1s being passed on to those con- cerneu'.
FURTHER LEGISLATION
‘fAt present consideration is being given to further Labour Legislation, briefs have been re- ceived by the Department from Labour groups and it is expected in the near future that Similiar briefs will be fiorthvcoming from representatives of Management. These briefs will all be given careful consideration and every effort made to have new legisla- tion provided for consideration at the forthcoming session of the Provincial Legislature.
“Having completed a very busy year the Minister and staff of the Department look forward with anticipation to doing a better job in the year 1959. It is felt that the plans they have laid will en- able the Department to do a bet- ter job for the citizens of the Province and that with the con- inucd grand work being done by the three Welfare Bureau and the churches of the Province and the splendid cooperation they have been giving to the Depart- ment and its committees, that needy citizens of the Province will be given a still more improv.

Truckers: Lose Rates Obiecfion
OTTAWA (CPJ Truckers complaints a g a i n st railway freight ratc slashes in the west have been thrown out by the Board of Transport Commission- ers.
in a decision to be made public Wednesday, the board says the railway rate cuts are legal and it will not disturb them.
The Canadian Trucking Associ- ations, representing some 7,000 highway transport firms, had asked the board to rule out the reductions.
There has been a running fight between the railways and the truckers on the issue ever since the rail carriers put the cuts into effect for the four western prov- inces early in 1957. The reduc- tions affect many types of traffic, and some run to considerably more than 50 per cent.

The cabinet approved the de- fence reorg-arnization Tuesday and also agreed on plans to declare a state of warning—without gen- eral mobilization—in times of ex- treme international tension.

“With regard to Labour, as al- ready pointed out, every effort has been made in the past to im- prove the situation.

Chairman Expresses Concernl
Over Short Supply Of Blood
F.A.S. Jones, provincial chair- man, Red Cross blood donor committee last evening expres- sed concern over yesterday's re- port that blood supplies al the Maritime Depot at Halifax are precariously low.
He explained that this is due to the fact that a great deal of blood is required for patients in hospitals during the holiday sea- son whcn it is very difficult to arrange for clinics.
He said further that as the re- sult of the splendid response at clinics held in this province dur- ing 1958. Prince Edward Island— ers have actually built up a suf- ficient credit of blood to meet the local demands at least until the end of April, 1959.
“However”, said Mr. Jones, “since blood can be used in its ‘wholle’ state only for a period of three weeks, this province is de- pendent flor its ‘fresh’ supply (tuning the greater part of the
year on the results of the blood

May be Warning
Backache is often caused by Iazy kidney action. When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, dis- turbed rest or that tired-out and heavy- headed feeling may soon follow. That's the time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s stimulate the kidneys to normal action. Then you feel better—sleep better—work better. Get Dodd’s Kidney Pills now. “9
