THE DUNCAN HOUSI

Residents of North Wiltshirc are justly proud of having in their vil- lage the oldest house in Queen's County. This place is known as the "Duncan House." lts ‘present occupants arc the Pollnrds.

(In bygone iluys the place \\as used as an inn. anrl the stagecoach operating betiveen Charlottetown and Summcrside made daily stops hcre.

But the Duncan House did not ailways occupy its present site. [t was moved to the villﬂgi‘ "13"." ytars ago from the old Balderson farm. where it had served as a dwelling for an earlier generation.

Ellen 's Diary

By u: Island Former’: Wife

This was the dark day, in a con- tinuation of recent ones, though as James forecast "inclined to be cold- er." Silvery-grey clouds lowered to the tree-tops on the hills and odd flurries of snow drifted about, but soon settled down and were lost amid the stubble and furrows. The mill-pond dreamed quietly. and was fctchlngly shadowed. Bare alders were reflected and slim white birches. so pretty. mirrored them- selves there. One remembered with rtgret the dip of swallows’ wings lightly touching the surface on sun- lit. Summer mornings and in mind heard the roundeluys of the roblns in the meadow beside. Today there was only crow-call. lingering with

‘the farm. the ravens hovered with

.throaty croak. For several years incw, these strange creatures have ‘nelghbored with us tn every season, 'thcir cries the only sound of life ,'iti tlic depth of the Winter silcxicc. e . e

'l‘lie younger furmeis wcre off |this afternoon to their work iii the ‘woodlands up at the other farm. ‘busy gathering up the fallen trees there, the toll of the old year's _winds. 'l‘i'imnt'.rig away the bran- ches, then cutting them into con- vcnlent lengths for lumber for any repairing about the places (“we nccd new plank for bridge-cover- ings." James said of the lumbering) and keeping the discards to be used for fire-wood. They went by car along better roads today, and brought back a favorable rcpdft of the progress of the undertaking there. It is highly probable that they fetched home excellent appe- tites as well. picked tip among the pungent scent of spruce and fir.

e e o

Only last evening while chatting with Mr. C. from the house on the hill, and anticipating the work nearing. they talked of the health- giving properties of woods’ work. James rcine-mbcrotl an ailing helper hc once had. when hc was cutting dawn a sizable piece of bush. "To- wards harvest-time. it must have been," he recalled. “a good many ycars ago now. Well, his appetite, and general health improved (tally rind by tlic time we were done of the lumlieriiig. why, he was like a new man!" lt ls probable that James himself will not be content to rctnliin at home at the chorlng as todzrv. but lic- too wlll presently succumb to the lure of the silent pIzivJcs.

'l'licso days one can easily fancy ‘the ring of Pat's axe in the maple grove beyond the hill-top and some- times as wo sit hcrc of tin evening, James tuid l wlonc. we imagine the light of his lantern wlll bring him prcscntiy to the door. until we rc- imrmher that Pat is not in the lnrighborhood hut away in the city. "May the New Year be kind to the ‘both av you." Pat would say. “aii’ lsiiro an‘ why won‘t it. since more than kind to vou, tho years have . been so far! Av course we can't see giltcad. not even the one step. An' ‘wing I'm askin‘ you? Well. that's tso we_‘ll learn to trust the Good ‘Lord above. An‘ how else could lt be‘! It's faith. we must have." Pat would nod. and chuckle at the sim- plicity of it. ‘ain't it faith that takes us from our beds in the mornln’ an’ brings us safe back there at nlght?"-—But Pat always said "Nate" and the brogue was rich and "swiite" on his tongue. And we miss him and his phil- osophy. his innate humor and folk- lore and his songs. We miss Pat's light on the dam and the short-cut. and his pipe-smoke and his chuck- les.

Jamie and other young and older lads would be hack to their classes in school today. doubtless missing the pro-Christmas excitement, but - able to find new interests and en- tertainment in each hour's turn. and looking with pleasant‘ anticipa- tlons toward the New Your. "Yes, he's gone!" Knrolyn said. when l called her this morning. a bit ivlstfully I thought though bright- ening with "but, niy goodness, l must run—do you know what our younger fellow liris done?" And she chuckled. “he has just upsrl a lumber of molasses-oh dear!" and l came away from the ‘phone. chuckling too without any good reason. At Alderlea. James at- tended to the rhorlng, with Pard's assistance at cottlewntcring time. Then the dog deserted lilm to elt watchful at the gnte-vvay in n queer way he has when one of the fam- ily ls absent.

Now he lays it aside to remark: "I be- lieve I should like a dis of cocoa -—to my mind. there's no hing bet- ter to give one a dreamless sleep!"

HOME CARE OF PATIENTS UNDER HOSPITAL BUPERVISIOI

__7_ Old "cracks" or chronic cu“ tl military hospitals who returned frmi overseas but had to undergo further treatment sometimes weic slow Ln recovering their strength.

In our hospital we found that giving them “home" leave for a few days seemed to stimulate them phy- sically and mentally; and they o'er: so anxious to get home, even 11 not out. of the army, that recovery wu rapid. It. would seem that In civil»- tan hospitals. so crowded today, ll- lowing the patient to have moi-c home care. returning to hospital for treatment only, will shorten thr convalesceiice and make room for patients more acutely ill.

Dr. E. M. Blucstone, Director of Montefiore Hospital. New York. states in Survey" that "when l hospital limits its precious fullltle: to those who have entered its por- tals, it inevitably invites tncliglbll patients to the hospital, who can do well at hccric." Because the hospi- tal is equipped to treat every form of illness, those lii the lmmedlatu community can take advantage of all these aids. but those beyond the immediate vicinity of the hospital also should be able to avail them- selves of all the skill and equip mcnt the hospital can give.

There are some patients who must remain in the hospital because of the nature of their Illness and their physical condition. On tbl other hand, there are other patient: who. after thorough examination of a few days or a week during which time the exact. cause of thn ailment is teamed. could do quite n welt at heme. In fact, where a pat- ient has to occupy a bed ln l hospi- tal ward, he would. in l. great mal- ority of cases. be much happier and get well sooner under the care ot loved ones and a visiting hospital physician.

The Monteflore Hospital. New York City. as an eiqiertment. H supervising the care of 50 patient: tn their homes who cannot afford the services of a private physician About 150 patients have recehrd this hcme treatment during till past year.

An analysis of cost w the hospital shows that home care is about one fourth the cost of maintaining thl same patient in a hospital.
