Except in parts of the At lantic provinces and the Prairies, where some nurses can't find work, an increasing number of Nightingale dis ciples across Canada seem to be blowing out their lamps. Or they're facing burnout themselves. “We don't know if the sup ply of nurses has decreased or if demand has increased,” says Gail Donner, executive director of the Registered Nurses Asociation of Ontario. “I don't know how much of a factor job frustration is or how many nurses are drop- ping out of the profession be cause of it. But there are a significant number of nurses in the childbearing age who are working (only) part time.” Several Toronto hospitals, where a nursing shortage has forced operating room clo- sures and a cut in beds in critical-care units, are mount ing a recruting drive for nurses in the Maritimes. They might find them in Nova Scotia and Prince Ed ward Island, or in Manitoba, where there's a hiring freeze at some i but re %G No. 102-402 Baker St. Nelson Duck Sweats, Putty Cat Sweats Whitewater Ski Sweats, Okee Dokee Shirts Crazy Hats and Fashion Line Custom Silkscreening (Bulk Prices) 352-7712 [-SHIRIS © HAIS CRESTS © JACKEIS TEAM SPORIS Elaine Woods ONE PAIR of mens block prescription glasses on Christ mas Eve may claim at the Castlegar News. 3) WHITE MALE maltese-terrier cross dog, Dec. 29 vicinity of weigh scales. 365-2492. 3/104 WHITE cat with block patches very, triendly. vicinity of |S Castlegar. 364-828: 3/102 SMALL BLACK zippered change vse, lett at Castlegar Post OF. ice.

CITES STRESS “It's been called the burn out factor. There is a great dea! of stress, and pay is not that attractive.” As of October, there were 508 nursing vacancies in B.C., compared with 342 a year earlier and 285 in October 1984, Cox said. The associ ation has 23,700 working members. Joan Mill, executive dir ector of the 9,400-member Registered Nurses Associa. tion of Nova Scotia, said about 800 registered nurses there are looking for work “The surplus is that we have not reduced the output of graduates from nursing schools more are going into nursing every year,” Mill said. “Schools are filled to capacity, students are being turned away every year.” George Bergeron of the 7,800-member Nurses Associ ation of New Brunswick said some institutions in that province are looking for nur ses and he expects a shor tage. Violet Ruelokke, executive director of the Association of Registered Nurses of New foundland, said the prov ince's 5,000 practising nurses fill most of the demand but there's a shortage in some specialized areas. Peter Sudworth, her coun terpart in Prince Edward Island, said more than 100 SELLING SHEETS nurses are looking for work there at any one time. Vera Chernecki, president: of the Manitoba Organization of Nurses, said there's no shortage there. Two Winni- peg hospitals have announc- ed a hiring freeze and the Manitoba government hinted this week there would be cuts in its health spending in the next budget. SUPPLY UP Alberta nurses were given hefty wage settlements sev eral years ago when there was a shortage of them, but the supply appears to have since increased. Paul Kuling, president of the 5,800-member Saskatche- wan Union of Nurses, said supply and demand are in balance in that province. Salary figures provided by the Canadian Association of Nurses indicate the two provinces experiencing the greatest shortages — Quebec and British Columbia — also offer singificantly lower pay scales. In Quebec, the starting salary for a general duty staff nurse is $20,000, the lowest in the country and about 25 per cent less than the $27,947 starting pay in Ontario. General duty nurses in British Columbia start at $25,152 compared with $28,420 in Alberta. Canada has about 170,000 registered nurses, said Ida Irwin of the Canadian as sociation. Sung tries for bedrooms TORONTO (CP) — Cus. tomers love Alfred Sung in the boardroom, but will they love him in the bedroom and bathroom? The fashion designer, part ners Saul and Joseph Mimran of The Monaco Group, and Dominion Textile Inc. hope the answer will be a re. sounding “yes” as they pre pare to market a set of co ordinated bed and bath ac cessories, including sheets, blankets and towels. Sung, born in Shanghai and trained in Paris and New York before he moved to Toronto, creates sophisticat ed) clothing for working women, often starting by designing his own fabrics.

For instance, a chevron-printed sheet in black and cream steals the pattern directly from a spring jacket. HAVE ‘FEEL’ Other items may not bor. row a look so much as have a Sung “feel” about them, either because of his signa ture color schemes — such as taupe with plum and blue and white — or the unusual way he mixes and matches classic patterns, such as plaid with paisley and florals with squares. That's because Sung really is involved, unlike some de signers who lend their names but not their talents to li censing projects, says Ann Holcomb, consumer products manager at Dominion Tex tile. “It (the line) was starting with Alfred,” said. “It's believable.” She said her company de cided to work with The Mon. aco Group because the textile manufacturer wanted to pro- duce a high-quality designer line and believed Sung has the best-known name in Can ada. There are no immediate plans to sell the line in the United States, although Sung’s clothing sells well there, she added Sheets and pillowcases are built she cotton-polyester percale, a tightly woven fabric, starting at $30. Blankets and towels are pure cotton, with face cloths starting at $6 and blankets $60. Polyester-filled comforters start at $100. EMPIRE GROWS Including home accessor ies, the designer now has 17 licenseés, or outside manu facturers making everything from sunglasses to fur coats with the Sung label. More licensing agreements are planned, with perfume scheduled to be launched this fall and menswear to follow “Each time I do a new product, it's always excit ing.” Sung said in an inter. view, adding that designing his own sheets solved the problem of never finding ones he liked. He said he hopes the bed ding and bath lines will appeal to the people who like his clothes, but he also wants to attract new customers “I was aware that both men and women buy sheets and I tried to do enough for both,” he said. Patterns include Paragon, white squares embroidered on white or grey with ruffled borders delicately edged with embroidery; Nocturne, bright flowers on a black background; and Integral, the chevron print that can be co-ordinated with black dots on a cream background. 3,200 sq.ft. 915 - 9th St., Castlegar Will accept trades $i 18,000 .

Saint Laurent's versions of the bubbly short dresses rife in Paris now were simple and striking, usually in mid-calf-length dance dresses in black gazar silk with enormous hip or waist bows in shocking pink or orange. In the last few seasons Saint Laurent’s clothes were mainly in sombre colors and safely classic to the point of boredom. Although this show was no blockbuster, it had new nerve and looked sellable and ready-to-wear. He leaves crazy clothes and crazy shows to others. His favorite new suit look was a jaunty little black spencer with the double-breast effect in gold buttons set diagonally. Neat white bowed collars and cuffs peeped out. Some shortie jackets had very narrow pointed fronts, some were in black or red leather The skirts were straightforward, lean and short, often pin-striped. Saint Laurent’s only pants — and he did loads of them for day or evening — were tight toreadors, buttoned under the knee. USES DENIM A new charcoal denim was used quite dressily in sharp skirts or pants outfits, even in a strapless sheath or laced “bustier” top over leather trousers. Some of the knits and short skirts were clingy, with a few full-sleeved pullovers belted at the waist in white, turquoise, bright rosy pink. The sexiest of this line had a narrow tulip-wrapped silk crepe skirt with a striped off-one-shoulder top. While many designers showed tarty little-gir: clothes, Saint Laurent’s “jeune fille” dresses were not only short but sweet, especially with their big puffy sleeves, the fitted dress printed with bows. Country maids came out in bright and full-skirted gingham checked flounced dresses, or tiered in several colors, the skirt quite long. An enormous line of crepe de chine dresses in prints might satisfy some women with a yearning for feminine summer silks. In pastels and brighter colors, they were printed with bows, butterflies, plumes and little animals. The best long dress — of which there were not many — had a jaunty circus print on the gazar skirt. For a showy look, Saint Laurent threw in some colorful ostrich feather poufs on blouses topping dressy toreador pants. A “happy birthday” theme was played for the show's finale, to remind everyone that Saint Laurent is celebrating his 20th anniversary as a couturier with his owk house. Fashions naughty and nice PARIS (REUTER) — The women who want to be naughty and the women who want to be nice will both find Paris fashions to fit their moods next spring and summer. Designer Emanuel Ungaro offered the two extremes in a single collection at ready-to-wear fashion previews for 2,000 buyers and journalists, but Jean-Louis Scherrer and Guy Laroche concentrated on dependable chic. Ungaro, who called his short, crinoline-skirted designs the Lolita look, showed thigh-high bubble skirts, bloomers and lots of bright cotton prints topped with little peplum jackets. Coyly emphasizing the theme, Ungaro chose My Heart Belongs to Daddy for background music as models presented the youthful fashions. V-necklines, puffy sleeves and waistlines cinched by black belts or wide elasticized bands above the full skirts gave an hourglass silhouette to the collection Shoulders were extended and there were draped hips and soft boxy dresses that ended in bands aboye the knees for women who disdain the ultra-short designs. Long skirts ended just above the ankle. Prints were either in soft watercolor pastels or chintz-like florals, in both silk and cotton. Hats were important accessories — big straw pinwheels perched on the back of the head or stiff organza bows attached to a headband.

Skirts and dresses had puffed sleeves and flippy pleats just above the knees Scherrer saved his originality for safari suits in cotton and linen, and print swimsuits that Sheena of the Jungle of comie-strip fame would be proud to wear. Continuing the jungle theme, he also showed sequined cocktail suits in snake patterns. Guy Laroche presented city suits in black denim with crisp white blouses. Wooden bead necklaces accentuated the African theme for his orange, brown and khaki poplin or linen suits with patch-pocketed safari jackets. For more casual wear, dotted blouses with peasant ruffles were worn with wrap-tied printed skirts. Among his prettiest caswal evening designs were red and black strapless dresses with long skirts in ruffled tiers trimmed with confetti-dot sequins. Hermes, who hold a secure share of the fashion market through their scarves, showed trencheoats, linen suits and fringed blanket coats. A line af cocktail dresses were printed with shrimp and shell designs. Ottawoa’s first Mr. and Mrs. Cop OTTAWA (CP) — Jobim and Jenny Robertson have a marriage made in headquar ters.

EXERCISE OVERSOLD Fitness on decline? By KIRK LaPOINTE Canadian Press Item: Jim Fixx, the guru of the running movement, dies while jogging. Item: Doctors estimate that up to 20 per cent of all aerobics students have to quit because of injuries. Item: Canadian chiropractors report they treat an average of 10 runners each week for ailing feet. Curious news: Participation in marathons has dropped in the last three years and many fitness clubs are closing, partly because they can't attract enough members. And more: the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently said that 30 minutes of moderate exercise every other day is the safe limit for most women. And the June issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine, a U.S. medical journal, concluded that’ life becomes more endangered with each kilometre run. Stocks of sports-related companies, ‘which were sought-after only two years ago, now are sluggish performers. Even television's famed 20-Minute Workout has stopped production. FITNESS ‘DYING’ No matter that there are easy explanations for many of these events — Fixx's probably congenital heart condition, woeful fitness instruction standards, bad shoe selection by runners, a shift to shorter fun runs,” and shoddy business practices by many clubs — a Jot of people are saying the “Now it's couch potato times,” the Washinlon Post declared recently. “Perhaps we're looking at a future where the upscale trendmongers will give up their sweat-fetish to fatten fashionable in bed.” Is the fitness movement running out of gas? Has exercise been oversold? + “People may not be pursuing fitness as passionately as they once did and they may not be as visible,” says Blake Ferris, head of the Ottawa-based Canadian Fitness and Lifestyles Research Institute. “But there's no evidence to suggest that the movement is dying — quite the opposite, in fact.” Ferris and others notice a trend toward exercising privately — sales of home fitness equipment remain steady and say people arg shunning mass-participation events in favor of a more personal form of fitness. v Answer to Wednesday Crossword Puzzle No. 241 STREET CLEANER PROPOSED TO SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET HOW LAWGICAL GIRLFRIEND.

David Ashton and Dr. has made an prospects of the general public, but it has also attracted “its fair share of self-styled ‘experts’ and fanatics” who tout it as a cure-all. “The evidence that exercise has a major contribution to play in combating disease is compelling.” Ashton and Davies say in their new book, Why Exercise? (Oxford University Press; $29.95 » $14.50 ) it is but one factor among many others and it is a more complete and balanced approach which is required.” Ferris says that detractors of fitness catch headlines — Fixx’s death, because it was symbolic, also attracted an inordinate amount of attention — but that statistics suggest more people than ever. are getting and staying in shape. Ashton and Davies, noting the two million joggers in the United Kingdom, say a more accurate headline the week Fixx died might have been: “Two Million Take Exercise This Week With No Casualties.” Our Action Ad Phone Number is 365-2212 WANTED CLEAN COTTON RAGS SN.
