From the large percentage of schools that volunteered to part- 1C1Date.in the project, a special committee selected the 25 schools
on the basis of size, con-trol, type
0f Program and geographic loca- tion.
It is expected that certain com- mon criteria of education at these schools will be established so that recommendations might be
made _of methods that can be used in evaluation of nursing education. It is hoped that if the profession of nursing this type of evaluation is valu- able in upgrading standards, then the mechanics for evaluation

full - scale will be available. The action follows affirmation of the C. N. A. general meeting in 1956 that their profession, as any other, had the responsibility pro- gram of education. The reason:-
if the quality of nursing service
rendered by the profession was to be improved, thenpreparation for that service must be improv- ed. In evaluating the programs of education, the profession would be able to determine the quality of their educational programs and set new goals for. improve- ment of that quality. AIMS -
A special comnittee outlined the aims of the project ‘n these ‘ways: - to determine yvhetlier

VISIT SCHOOLS
Miss Mussallem will visit the schools of nursing in each area with a regional visitor. During the survey they will examine the philosophy and objectives’ of each school, its organization and ad- ministration, curriculum and evaluation, library, physical fac- ilities of each school, etc.
Over the past four months, Miss Mullallern has been in the United States studying the accre- ditation program of the National League for Nursing. Her studies took her from the Mid - Atlantic and Eastern Seaboard areas to the Great Lakes region and the Middle West.
“There is
P
definite evidence that following the initiation of accreditation and the accom- panying sohool improvement pro- gram, a general upgrading of schools of nursing has resulted,” she says.
Miss Mussallem is a graduate of the Vancouver General Hos- pital School of Nursing, has a diploma in Administration, Tea- ching and Supervision from the University of Washington, a B. N. degree from McGill Univer- sity and a M. A. degree‘ from Teachers’ College, Columbia Uni- versity.

{Adjourn Butter ' Cases To Friday
Following evidence of one wit- ness. the preliminary hearing in Queefis » County magistrates court.)f Frank Louis O’Brien, charged with stealing a number of pounds of butter, lard and shortening from the Riverside Hospital, yesterday morning was further adjourned until Friday, March 28, at 4.00 p.m. by Mag- istrate Gilbert A. Gaudet._ 0’Brien is one of nine men ac- cused of theft or possession of goods stolen from the institution. Approximately 1200 pounds of goods were reported stolen from the institution between’ Septem- ber 1957 and February of this year.
O'Brien pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing to the charge of theft of three - 50 lb. cases of butter, two - 30 lb. cases of lard and two - 30 lb. cases‘of shorten- ing. , Appearing on behalf of the crown was Dr. Deacon, Business Manager of ‘the Infirmary at Riverside who gave evidence per- taining to certain invoices again- st the storerooms for butter is- sued to the infirmary over the said period of time.
Dr. Deacon told the court that he checked the records early in November and they appeared to be in order but when he checked again at the end of January he found that a number of pounds of butter were not accounted for.
A number of the slips, it was noted, were initialed “J. G. T." (John Garfield Taylor). Taylor
has since been sentenced on the
same charge as that of O’Brien.
Dr. Deacon informed the court that the butter was issued to the infirmary on a standing order; being delivered twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays. However, as invoices showed, the order

Dr. Deacon said that he noted on a number of occasions that a surplus of butter was usually evident when he checked the stores at the infirmary.
Health League Likes Potato
The eating and cooking habits of Canadians are taken to task in an article, “Place of Potatoes in the Diet”, by Dr. L..B. Pett, Chief of the Nutrition Division of the.‘ Department of National Health; and Welfare, appearing in the cur-
rent issue of “Heath” Magazine,
official publication of the Health League of Canada.
Dr. Pett defends the much-ab used pciato, whichhas been con- demned as “fattening”. He says that many people avoid eating va uable foods like bread and pota- 'toes,‘and yet continue to eat rich foods like chocolate pie. He points out that one chocolate usually has more calories than a fair- sized potato—and they are emp- ty calories—just sugar and fat calories, not providing other nu-
. trintional values.
NOT “FATTENING”
“No. food is fattening in itself, only in the way it is used. All foods provide calories, but a gain in weight results only whenttihe -total diet supplies more calories than the body is using up in ‘ac- tivity. In other words, it is not the kind of food that adds weight, but the amount of food eaten, in re- lation to activity.”
He points out that the danger of many foods is that they do not carry enough other nutritional va- lues with their calories. This dan- ger becomes acute as people grow older, because older people need more and more minerals and vi- tamins, but fewer and fewer cal- ories. Yet the same food habits and cooking habitspersist.
Dr. Pett says that potatoes, tur-

"In our Canada's Fow Rules, which give an outline of a good diet, we are forced to mention citrus fruits, because people are very careless how they handle vegetables. If potatoes or cab-
bage are cooked in too much.
water, and for too 1ong—as they frequently are—then it is proba- ble that the cooking water con- tains most of the vitamins and minerals. ‘In fact, I on-ce calcul- ated that more vitamin C is lost that way in Canada than is pre- sent in all the citrus fruits that we import.”
To obtain the best nutritional value from potatoes, Dr. Pett has a three-point program:
1. ‘Some varieities of potatoes have much more vitamins than others, and the farmers should be urged to plant these v-arieites in preference to others of less nu- tritional value. I
2. Cool airy storage of potatoes is necessary to retain vitamin C. Proper storage is essential and should be encouraged.
3. The proper storage is cissen- tial and should lie encouraged.
3. The proper cooking methods which will retain the most of vi- tamins C and B should be en- douraged.
