The new polio centre. which is being opened here this week, will be located in the basement of the Provincial sanatorium. it has been learned from Dr. 0, H. cm-. tls. Chief Health Officer of the Province. '

Th! polio centre will be in the east end of the building in the Wing which was formerly occup- ied by Dr. George Bishop's veter- inary laboratory. It will be able to act.-mmodaie about l5 patients.

The centre will treat those who have been severely paralyzed by polio attacks. It will deal solely with after affects of the disease and will be operated by the Sanat. orlum Commission.

The equipment includes a hy- drotherapy tank, by which the muscles are treated in .1 hot hath, Suspension apparatus of various kinds and other exercising equip- ment are ready fcr use.

Dr. R-. F. Seaman will supervise the medical treatment aided by Miss Kathleen Jackson, who will direct physiotherapy treatments and, at least two graduate nurses.

About 15 patients are awaiting the opening of the centre fcc treatment, it was learned.

Ill-HEW days the new polio Cull- trc at the Provincial Sanatorium W111 be open. an-d it will be the only centre in Canada offering modern treatment for the relief of this disease, Miss Kathleen Jack- son. M.B.E., M.C.S.P.. told Ra. tnrlans at iihelr luncheon yester- :iay.,

hM1ss Jackson came to this Pro- vmcc about twelve wceks ago un- tier an arrangement between the P.E.I. lied Cross and the Sana-

iorlum Commission. She was senior physiotherapist in charge of several hospitals in England

prior and during World War ll, had a similar position for three years in the large war hospital in Lucknow, India. and for the past three years has been director of the Piiysiothempy Department at the Rehabilitation Centre in Bad Pyrmond, Germany.

"The people of this Province have been most hospitable and co- operailve," said Miss Jackson, hand everyone seems delighted to be orfhassisiancc and have shown great interest in my work."

Modern physiotherapy by the use of remedical exercises, massage. heat, infra red, ultra violet rays, and electrical stimulation, aims at restoring the patient as quickly as possible to his former wage earn- mg capacity. If even a. healthy person were confined to bed for a long period, ilhcrc would be de- terioration of the normal func- tions of the body, and as the pur- pose of all medicine is to restore function. the physiotherapist must assist the patient by prescribing cxactly the right exercises and the amount of such exercise.

Just as it would be a serious matter should a patient gulp the whole bottle of medicine because he had neglected to take it in the proper doses. to the person un- dci-going physiotherapy must not do double the exercise at one time because he had forgotten to do them earlier in the day. .

Exercises are gradually pro- gressed so that the patient learns partially to treat himself. and he is encouraged to ask all questions concerning his condition and treat- ment.

Sixty-one entries were received from pupils in various parts of the Province in the post competition which was sponsored by the P.E.l.

Education Week Committee. The posters were related to the

ST. JOHN'S, Nfid., March 5- (CP)-A huge ,herd of seals. 12 miles long and from two to four miles long, was located yesterday in the Gulf of St. Lawrence by the aircraft which has been char- tered by the Federal Department of Fisheries to carry on its pro- gram of seal research.

WEDNESDAY

The Prince Edward Island Ayr- shire Breeders Club will import two top notch Red and Willie sires from Scotland this year if their plans meet with the approval of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, it was decided yes- terday afternoon at a meeting of

enthusiastic breeders in the De- partment of Agriculture offices here.

The breeders decided that it was desirable to import some new blood into the province. A four man committee was named to

draw up plans for the importation

Mr. Fred MacRne of Charlotte- town Roynlty was appointed to make the p'.ll'CllllSl! in Scotland

They will he made as soon as the breeders receive the green light probably within in month.

One of the sircs will be kept at the Experimental station here and used artificially. The other bull will probably be rotated between Prince and Queens Counties. spending ccrtaln periods of time in each." '

An unusually small amount of ice in the Gulf of st. Lawrence was reported yesterday by Capt Angus Brown as the annual Dc- parlment of Transport acrlal ice patrol started. Capt. Brown made a seven and a half hour flight yesterday in a chartered Maritime Central Airways piano. He said the steamer irack is open from the ocean to beyond the Magdalen Islands and that there was about 40 per cent loose drift ice on the steamer track from there to beyond Anticosti Is- land at the mouth of the St. Law- rence River.

Most of the ice is located against. the Now Brunswick coast The steamer track is open from

Between Charlottetown and Borden there is about 60 per cent. loose drift ice, and from Summer- sidc to west Point. some 90 per cent. Beyond West Point there is up to 95 per cent drift k:c. all across the mouth of the Bay of Chalcur and against the Gaspe Coast.

seals by the thousand are at present being hunted off the North Shore of this Province by sealing ships from Norway and Newfound- land.

Dr. Dean Fisher, Ottawa, in charge of seal research for the Do- minion of Canada, has been mak- ing a survey about twelve miles off Cavendish for the past few days, and states it is the first time for many years that such large num- bers of the mammals have been so close to this Island province.

He had been making his survey with M.c.A.. and yesterday. through the co-operation of M. C.- A., was flown by Paul's Flying Ser- vice over the area in the hope that the lighter craft would be able to land. It was planned that seals should be tagged and released. but because of the treacherous condi- tion of the ice it was not possible for the plane to land off shore.

Dr. Fisher has been taking aerial mapping pictures of the herds. but so vast are the number of seals that consecutive pictures had to taken in order to include them all. In addition to the many thousands of adult seals, many young white seals have been seen on the loo fioee.
