April 4 v (OP) — Women who want to be engineers might do well to start by study- ing the plumbing in t'neir homes _Sanits.ry engineering is the field with most openings and Oppgrtum. ilios for advancement. says the women's bureau of the United States department or labor. "Such problems as water supply and sewage, insect and rodent con- fmhfitmlllilll and air control seem to hold more interest for women than men." says a recent report. But there is room for women in other fields of engineering and architecture — if they hurry, Less than one-third or one per cent of all engineers in the Un- itsd States are women, says the bureau. Women architects are even less numerous. The catch is that the rate of grsxiuations from rm. ivertrlties is so great that the sup- ply or ellxineers will overtake the demand within a tow year-g And lmost of those graduating are men . There is still mm pfejudjcg against women in engineering, the bureau reports. The main mason is that engineering requires much rleld work and travel to remote sections, A few women have over. come this. some have stayed with .lhe same orgsnnlmlion for ybars _..._.__.__...-*_ Monthly Meeting of Hospital Ladies‘ Aid The regular monthly meeting of th, Ladies Aid of thq Prince Dd- ward Island Hospital was held at the Cundali Home Monday after- noon, April 4th at 3 psm The president, Mrs. Gordon Leitch opened the meeting with the Lord's Prayer in unison, ‘Ifhsrs were 20 members present.

Extracts from letters from Christian friends in Japan were read, which told something of the devastation of war in Japan. 500 churches having been destroyed. However, even in such circumstances the Japanese Church had launched a campaign to add three lmillion souls to their number. The speaker emphasized the dangers of communism, which was competing for the soul of Japan. and even in remote villages their workers were found. Unless help comes very soon .to the aid of the Christian community they might not be able to keep up the struggle. Miss Callback urgbd sacrificial giving. in order that workers might be sent to Jmpan. as well as to othér mission fields. The meeting closed with the singing of "Oh Worship the King."
