How can he laugh off all the unrest in the ranks of the other hospital workers?" He said Victoria "daren't" risk an enquiry, tht it "daren let the medical profession loose right now." "To do that would be to expose the whole mess," he went on. And I challenge the premier to deliver a public accounting of how the social services and BCHIS are paid for. "THAT HAS NEVER been done.

Not a red cent comes from the government. It all comes from the two per cent sales tax. In denying the charge that the government makes a profit out of BCHIS, Mr. Bennett had said the hospitals are getting 114,000,000 a year more than when Social Credit came into power and that when it is all added together we are still $24,080,000 short of what we have paid out" Plane rushes injured logger to hospital A logger injured when logs rolled on him at Clowhom Lakes, near Sechelt, Wednesday is in satisfactory condition at General Hospital.

Mrs. Maxine Taylor, director of the A-l Nurses Registry of San Francisco and Hollywood, said in Vancouver she was shocked to learn that B.C. nurses make $250 month. The Royal Inland Nursing Di rector, Miss C. Sinclair, said in reply Tuesday that there are nurses salaries in the United States that are below those paid in B.C.

Further. Miss Sinclair said, such items as working conditions, holi days and statutory holidays must be considered in any comparison. Referring to Mrs. Taylor's criti cism of the hospital training sys tem Miss Sinclair said 'there are two schools of thought. One holds that students should live out and attend classes like other university students, the other that in such specialized work as nursing it is better they should live together as it is easier to arrange classes.

In this regard I disagree with the cout leader who recently suggested that the main factor in slow recruiting was the short pants, and recommended that the boys be sifted into longs.

Don't goof it, son. Instead of putting the Scout into long trousers we should remind potential members that the word "pants" derives from "pantaloon," and that "a slippered pantaloon" is the stock description of the old fogey who's weak in the ripper, My own guess is that the Boy Scouts are losing out to the Little Leaguers, that the short pant is being supplanted by the bocker.

I have nothing against the Little Leagues, except I wonder if they don't give the kids too professional an attitude towards baseball. I heard of one Little League pitcher, only nine years old and he's already done three Gillette commercials. He swears he gets a closer, relative in B.C.

It arrived la the smoother shave on his teddy-oear. One thing I'll say. for Little League baseball: it cures the kids of chewing gum. When they step up to the plate they won't have anything in that cheek but a plug of real tobacco. Life on street not so sweet Both the Little Leagues and the Boy Scouts help to keep the kids off the streets, but that doesn't mean much.

I spent most of my childhood on the street, playing ball or hardpan hockey. It was on the street that I learned the code that has served me well through life, namely: Never hit the little guy, it may be his puck. Even though we played' on the street, I never hung around under -the street-light after dark. Our neighborhood was too poor to have a street-light. in fact that was why none of us joined the Scouts the neighborhood was too tough.

I remember a visiting Scout blew his whistle on our street once, and three men were trampled to death in the rush ill oat the back door of the pool hall. I was eighteen years old before 1 got to eat in a bouse with dining-room. I'm a graduate of the school of hard nooks. That's why today I like to act like a good Scout, to make up for aft the good deeds I never had a chance to do. Think maybe I'll wander down to the YWCA and see if they'd like to have their locker-room windows cleaned.
