WILL COMBINE WORK
Neighborhood House and Pa.
triotic League Join Forces.
BURLINGTON Institution Will Not, How.
ever, Lessen It's Regular Activities
Aid Greatly Appreciated
BY League.

The combining Of the classes Of the
Neishborhood House with the girls work
of the Patriotic League was decided upon
Saturday morning at meeting Of the
board of directors Of the Neighborhood
House, with Miss Sargent, representing
the War Work Council, under whose
direction is being carried on the work
of the Patriotic League. A committee,
consisting of Miss Mabel e. Brownell. Miss
Kate M. Hickok and Miss Sargent. will
arrange the details of the system under
which the work will proceed, and which,
Il is thought will be Of mutual benefit to
both organizations.
This new plan does not mean that the
work of the Patriotic League will in any
way supercede that of the Neighborhood
House nor interfere with It's regular
activities. The directors Of the local in
stitution, however. wished to aid in the
patriotic movement, and the joint arrange
ment of the work Of the two organixa-
lions is the result Of that desire.
The War Work Council will defray all
extra expenses in the way Of heating,
lighting, domestic service, ETC.. entailed
by this work. 1t will not. however. con-
tribute to the funds from which the ex-
ponSeS OF the NelBnDOrnOOu HOUSE are
paid, and these must, as in former years
be supplied by the voluntary contribu-
tions Of friends.
The readiness of the neighborhood
House to cooperate with the government
in this patriotic work affords an additional
and splendid opportunity to the public tc
show its appreciation by renewed support
Of the Burlington institution.

NEW ROUTE FOR TRAINS.
Rutland Railroad to Use Grand Trunk
Truck into Montreal.

Rutland Railroad to Use Grand Trunk
Truck into Montreal.
An important change in the routing Of
the Rutland railroad trains into the city
Of Montreal will 60 into effect October
Of the present year according to an an
nouncement made Sunday from the office
Of F. T. Grant. general passenger agent Of
the Rutland road. The trains. which will
be Through" the same as at present, will
will 60 to and from the Bonaventure sta
ton instead of to and from the Wind
sor station. passing over the Grand Trunk
lines instead Of over the Canadian Pacific
company's tracks into the Canadian city.
Although the trackage change is of con-
siderable Importance In the railroad circles
1t will not affect the travelling public. other
than that the officials figure a decided
improvement will be made in the mainten-
ance Of q dependable schedule into Mont
real.
Heretofore it has been necessary for the
Rutland railroad trains to do some witch.
ing at Iberville Junction in order to get
onto the Canadian Pacific iron, thus cost
ing time. BY the route planned to take
effect October I, the trains will 20 on
straight track from Rutland into the
Grand Trunk station at Montreal.
Since the building of the extension Of the
Rutland railroad north from Burlington
and across the islands. completed about
November. 1901. the Rutland Railroad has
had a working agreement for through
passenger train service under trackage
via the Quebec. Montreal and Southern
railway between Noyan Junction and
Iberville Junction and the Canadian Pa
cific railway between Iberville Junction
and the Windsor street station in Mont
real.
Under the new arrangements the trains
will GROSS the Richelieu river from Alburs
into Rouses Point. N. Y. where they will
60 onto the Grand Trunk tracks. 1t Is
pected that the same Rutland railroad
crews which handle the trains from Rut-
land will 90 through to the Bonaventure
station in Montreal The passengers will
have no changing OF cars.
The route over which the Rutland trains
will 60 after October 1 Is one now In use
by the Delaware and Hudson railroad
company. whose contract recently expired
and which will now route it's trains by way
Of the Napierviile Junction railway into
Montreal.

1000 RECRUITS NEEEDED TO TRAIN
FOR NURSING SERVICE.

The Red Cross Nursing Service has
now enrolled nearly 10000 nurses One
thousand of these have already been
assigned to duty. and more than 700
are In France or are en- route there.
Others are ready to 20 at a moments
notice. Our estimates az to the nurs-
ing needs of the Army ana Navy have
been very carefully calculated, and the
Red Cross Nursing Service is prepared
to announce that It IL organised to
meet demands of the present and immedi-
ate future.
But what of the situation two or
three years from now? Then. II war
continues, we shall have from 10000
| to 10000 nurses in the military service,
and our nursing resources here at homo
will be seriously depleted. And we
| shall need nurses here at home. II we
are to judge by the experience of past
wars and our allies in this war, we
| shall need moro than in ordinary times
to guard against tuberculosis. infant
| mortality. under-nourishment, and
| other abnormal conditions which are
found among civilian populations
when they are laboring under the
strain Of war. Normally our nurses
training schools turn out $4,000 grad
uate nurses annually. They will have
to turn out 10000 in 1919 and another
10000 in 1870 II the estimated needs Of
those two years are to be met.
Seven thousand recruits. therefore,
are needed for the training schools
this year; and an additional 1000 next
year. Where are we going to get
them?
| My hope Is that they will come from
among the educated young womanhood
of our country. Thousands Of young
women Just out Of college or academy
are eager to do some national service.
Whenever one Of these comes to mo for
advice, I direct her attention to the Red
Cross Nursing Service. There We need
women Of the highest type, women of
character and education who are will
ing to enter the training schools and
submit themselves to the regular
courses of technical training. and 80
prepare themselves for skilled work
as Red Cross nurses.
Red Cross chapters can help In this work
by bringing this appeal to the attention
of the young women Of their commun-
tiles. All that Is needed, in many cases
is to point out the opportunity. The
young women are eager to serve
