They are all set to expand and will do so as soon as they can get more personnel. July 29. 1948. - Left Sydney about noon to call at the Gaelic Mod at St. Anne on the way to Baedec. Dr. Baillie drove down with Dr. MacDonald just ahead of me. It was a very beautiful drive down the lake. When we got to the Rock ferry theirs was the last ear to go on and I had to wait for the next one. Froa the other side we drove up to St. Anne, a short but attractive piece of country. The Gaelic Mod is just like one big picnic. When we arrived some bagpipes were being played and there was a competition of singing, Scots songs without any accompaniment. There followed some Highland dancing by groups of girls. Lord and Lady MacDonald along with Premier Angus MacDonald and other notables were on the platform. It was a burning hot day and everybody was feeling the heat somewhat. The Mod was held at the Gaelic College and the bleachers were out on the open on a slope of ground facing down to the lake with the hills on the other side. After about an hour and a half there we drove on to Baedec. Dr. Baillie stayed at the Inverary, but as the whole place was very crowded I could not get a room there and had arranged to stay with Miss lytle in her apartment. We went fishing with Dr. and Mrs. MacMillan and Miss Lytle in the evening and after that stopped off at the MacMillan*s. We did not leave there until, after 2 a.m. It was a gay party. Mrs. MacMillan is rather deaf and to have visitors like this was quite an event or so she said. She was most anxious to make a party of it. Miss Lytle also had some other people in her apartment and she stayed at Mrs. MacMillan's. The next day went with Miss lytle on a visit. It is a pleasure to find that she is doing a great deal of child welfare and pre-natal work, after seeing most of the other nurses in Nova Scotia concentrating on tuberculosis. Apparently her tuberculosis problem is not so great. Hers is also a unique situation. Dr. MacMillan is the medical health officer. He is a general practitioner and is somewhat of the old family type of doctor. < There is no hsopital in the area although before very long there will be a Red Cross Outpost. Consequently there are many home confinements and Miss lytle assists with them all. She is thus able to give some pre-natal home supervision and able to follow up the supervision through her clinic and her home visits. She has some 85 schools, her territory has been increased within the last year or so. Interestingly enough she is not doing as much pre-natal work in her new area. This seems to have something to do with the doctor and the particular situation which has grown up in and around Baedec. Miss Lytle has k
