Winner The little old school house on German Mills Road just east of Thornhill is coming to life again as a community centre, and a community centre board has been appointed by Markham Township Council to administer it. ‘ The committee has not yet had an opportunity to get together to elect an executive, but Mrs. Lionel Frost, who lives next door to the school, is at present responsible for scheduling events and showing people inside.

Mrs. Corkill decided to take thenine month course since her} children are now all grown up and she felt she would like to do something outside the home, after being housebound for many years with a growing family. Although she had no previous idea of a nursing car- eer she has thoroughly enjoyed ‘every aspect of her training ‘period and hopes to begin work iin a hospital this fall. The course, which is offered by the Ontario Department of‘ Health, is open to girls and; women from grade 12 to 55‘ years of age, and Mrs. Corkill reports that more than one quarter of her graduating class was made up of grandmothers who were just within this up- lper age limit. She was also very impressed by the younger members of her class who show- Thorn/fill to publish items of. interest in the Thomhill area. ed much determination and dedication. The training consists of a three month intensive study period followed by six menths NAAI- r .......... ,7 - of training in various hospitals. Mrs. Corkill spent time in the Women’s College Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth and Toronto General as well as the Hospital For Sick Children. Of all her practical hospital experience Mrs. Corkill especially enjoyed the Sick Children's where she was on the heart surgery re- covery ward helping to care for children in the hospital follow- ing heart surgery. She found this particularly rewarding since many of the children are from distant homes and receive few visitors so the nursing assistant can bring much comfort to these little ones who often feel very lonely and afraid. The nine month course is offered by the Provincial De- . partment of Health at the Nursâ€" ‘ ing Assistant Training Centre,‘ 360 Christie Street. It is a free course and students are paid $3.50 a day while in training. A graduate nursing assistant is offered an extremely interesting and worthwhile career in a hos- pital where she can undertake many tasks to aid the medical staff. She can also be of great value in a public health service ior in a doctor’s office.
