It was here that We were instructed in the care of this ctisease and to prevent its spreact to others. We Were constantly amazed at the cheeriuiness, pleasant co-operation, and appreciation of our patients. This made it a-reat pleasure to care for them. - During our time off duty, Usieepu was the usual diversion, hut we had a few exciting moments, too.

Strange faces,-locked doors, keys, differ- en-t procedures and techniques which we will never forget. We Ehecame ac- customed 'to the new routine within a week. We lost that vague fear and took actuai interest in our patients and their proiotems 'hy delving into their 'pas-t to discover the predisposing and precipitating -factors of their illness which aided our understanding of them. Recreating the patients with various games, occupational and industrial therapies helped to consume their idle hours, to rehahiii-tate and re-educate them. ' i We experienced various emotions when we first witnessed 'Electric shock and Insulin shock therapies. The value of Hydro and psycho- therapy, narcosis, tohotomies and packs f-all demonstrated their value. New friendships were formed with other affiliates'-our off duty social life -all these went -together to matte our affiliation a pleasant and interesting one.
