ELLEN'S DIARY

Fair Skies Oi February

The new moon of month is a bow in the sky now, a shy, wistful thing, flanked by candles of stars and warrant of bright. silver-wash- ed nights to come.

"A nice night?" one who came by this evening offered. "Yes it is. But," he smiled, "I have a banker- ing now to hear the frogs sing again. Those nights-those of spring are the ones I like best.Did you ever in your young days drive with a horse and wagon past a pond or swampy place where the crit- ters were into their singing? So loud the sound was fairly deafen- ing? But it was good to hear, was- it not? Oh, the youngsters of nowa- days in their cars miss so much don't they? They don't get so close to nature these days."

Today with its fair skies remind- ed us that with "this number of fine days in a row" as someone said. we are enjoying a spell of settled weather..'I'he pair of fat animals got away yesterday to market. going the first lap of the way out and over the hill on foot

And the winter passin swiftly, moved us into the Lenten season, reminding us to lift thoughts above the fret and care and distractions of earthy doings: to centre them

By CAROLYN WILLETT Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA tCPl4l'he president of the Canadian Nurses' Association nodded and h amed when asked in an interview if she ever has

time to relax.

"I've a little house, a dog and a garden with a lili-pond." said Gladys Sharpe of Toronto, who di- rects nursing at Toronto's Western Hospital as well as heading the 41,000-member nursing association. Her home is in a suburb of her native Toronto, where she grabs spare moments for her favorite hobby, gardening.

"I like to ride too," she added. "I started riding when I was a child and I've ridden everything t'rom a plow horse to an Irish hunter."

BUSY EXECUTIVE

Tall. gctle-voiced Miss Sharpe has bccn president of the CNA since 1954 and her term will end in I956. With both administrative and presidential duties, she hasn't had much time for gardening.

Her CNA work sends her across Canada for meetings and last fall she attended a meeting in Istanbul of the board of directors of the liiteriiational Council of Nurses.

But travelling isn't new to her.
