Para-Rescue Badge

Flying Officer E. R. Kelly, R.C.A. F. Nursing sister, of summeraide, was among the graduates at core- mony held last week at Tactical Air Group headquarters, Edmonton, Alberta. receiving the R.O.A.F.'s coveted para-rescue badge from Air Commodore J. G. Kerr, air officer commanding the Group. Two other nursing sisters. one doctor and seven medical assistants from other parts of Canada also received the award. The oer mony brought to a close 18 weeks 0 arduous train- ing in Edmonton and Jasper Na- tional Park.

Forming the second all-medlc- al class to take the oour , the eleven students have comple on one of Canada's toughest l'n.iI1tAI')' courses. During the training they climbed mountains, paradl1Iu.ted in- to open and timiberred country, scaled cliffs, crossed glaciers and gorges, a.nd.learned how to sup- plement meagre rations by living off the land.

Five nursing sisters started the course last January but two suf- fered injuries which necessit- ated their stopping training.

Keynote of the training was phy- sical fitness. Over 120 hours were devoted to physical training ex- ercises. Most spectacular phase of the training was Uhe actual Jump- ing. Each graduate did jumps be- fore completing the course, six be- ing made into open country and four into heavily timberec areas.

Strange But True

By I. I. MacArthur

Ever hear of the rabbit that wears snowshoes? It is called the "Snowshoe" on account of the size of its feet. which, already large, are in winter made larger by fringes of bristles that give the little fel- low such I. broad area of footing that it can travel leisurely on the surface of soft snow while all it-9 cousins flounder.

Many strange legends have sprung up about . the mandrake plant no doubt due to its human-like shaped roots, and the peculiar sound it makes when dug from the ground. Since the days of an- cient Greece thislcurious plant has had 9. reputation for producing sleep. It was the first anaesthetic. The root was steeped in wine and a stiff drink of this concoction was given before arnputatihg a limb. However, an overdose caused para- lysis, death, or in some cases mad- ness. The stuff was known as "death wine'.', and in ancient times women are said to have given it out of compassion to prisoners a- bout to be put to death. in order to quiet their nerves.

Ancients and modems are united through the mandrake, for hyac- clne, from the poppy. produces the form of anaesthesia called ”twiligtht sleep." Mandrake is a second cou- sin to the potato.

A recipe handed down from Sex- on timec contained the following ingredients and was a cure for worms:

Equal parts of acorn meal, hen- bane seeds and wax. All were put together in the form of a can- dle ancl burnt. The patient inhal- ed the smoke and presto the worms came out just like the rats did when the Pied Piper played on his

skin diseases and a lot of other complaints. Bittersweet was also believed to have magic powers to counteract the evil spells cast upon people by witches.

Woody nightshade was used in medieval times both as a charm and a poison. A notorious Italian by the name of Leucota. employed its juice for murdering the beauti- iul ladies who came under his spell. its leaves were also used a- long with water to improve poor complexlcns and Spanish ladies put the juice of the woody-nightshade into their eyes to enlarge -the pupils and give them a come-hither sparkle. Indeed in our own times it its regarded as one of the in- dispensable drugs.

The Southern United States once boasted the dreaded six horned uintatnerium, a primitive four-tus- ked elephant, a midget horse that once lived in Wyoming, elephanLs.' giant wolves, saber-toothed tigers as well as hundreds of animals now extinct on this continent. s

Within the city limits of Los Angeles, their bones have been un- covered from time to time. Causm. in the vast asphalt rit which exist- ed in those days thousands of ani- mals were swallowed up.

Columbus found only one comes-

ticated animal in America -- the dog. - No one has even yet found the nest of the calling Hare. Why? Be- cause it. is so securely hidden un- der rocks and in tunnels below rocks, that all attempts to dig it out have thus far proved futile.

At the time of its discovery by Jacques Cartier in I634, Prince Edward Island and the surround- ing Gulf Stream teeined with an almost incredible profusion of ani-

mals, which roamed the stately forests and streams of this Island were the marvel of its first settlers.

Herds of reindeer, bears, and other animals drifted from one feeding place to another secure in their natural habitat until the fatal influence of civilization was thrown against them.

The wealth of mammal life in the Gulf Stream along our shores almost equalled that on land. Seals, ottiers and thousands of sea cow and flames. Many of the chronicles dealing with the early history of the Island have left uh interesting details concerning these creatures. Unfortunately hhose of us now liv- ing are not privileged to see the primeval forest. the vast herds of sea cows or the reindeer. which. we are told. perished in great num- bers. when a mighty wall of fire swept across a large section of the land.

I have vivid memories of travell- ing through the woods. when for It whole long day one would see flee- ing rabbits from I dosen to seventy or I hundred, and paying little at- tention to me. some so bold as to hardly get out of onc'a path. And I have watched them by moonlight
