Letter from Edward B. Stevens to James B. Finley
No full textEdward Stevens is the new Deputy Grand Worthy Patriarch for the Monroe and Amanda Divisions of the Sons of Temperance. He sends a report to Finley, who is currently serving as Grand Worthy Patriarch. Stevens reports that there is apathy in his region regarding the cause of temperance. He shares several ideas with Finley about improving the efficacy of the Sons of Temperance -- advocating limits regarding the sale of liquor, paying closer attention to the beautiful ceremonial rites of the order, adopting an interchange of officers, and the universal dissemination of temperance tracts.

Recovery through contradiction?
No full textWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding
Reading Stevens in Italian
No full textThis article was commissioned by Bart Eeckhout of the University of Antwerp for a survey of Wallace Stevens’s reception in Europe. It provides an account of Italian translations of Stevens over half a century, Italian having been one of the first languages in which Stevens was translated. (An important selection by the Harvard comparatist Renato Poggioli was issued during the poet’s lifetime). These translations are used as guides to changing approaches and strategies when dealing with a major American Modernist. Translations are shown to be extremely useful tools in determining the uniqueness of a writer’s style, his peculiar syntax and even neologisms, often unremarked by native speakers. A notable instance was discussed by Bacigalupo in an earlier paper, “Wallace Strevens and the Firecat” (Wallace Stevens Journal 21.1, 1997: 94-98; see also Bacigalupo, “Stevens, Poggioli and the Making of ‘Mattino domenicale’”, ibid., 25.2, 2001: 254-70). The present paper is principally concerned with the later poems and considers, besides examples from the main Italian translations, a recent version of Stevens in French
Gwendolyne Stevens
No full text"Gwendolyne Daphne was born on 7 June 1908 at Quorn, South Australia, daughter of Hugo Albert Valentine Healey, painter and later publican, and his wife Jessie Gwendolyne, n?e Napier, both South Australian born.
Gwendolyne attended several rural schools, including Innamincka Public, before proceeding to St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School, Adelaide. Miss Healey trained at Burra public and (Royal) Adelaide hospitals, and was registered as a nurse on 11 July 1929. She then moved to Parkside Mental Hospital where she gained a certificate in psychiatric nursing in 1931 and became sister-in-charge. In 1934 she bought a large house at Payneham that had been built by James Marshall, converted it into a private psychiatric hospital and named it St Margarets. As its owner and matron for eighteen years, she cared for patients suffering the early stages of nervous disorders, and provided them with a secure and restful setting, with aviaries amid beautiful gardens. That she took on such a task during the depression, and succeeded in it, testified to her business acumen, organizing ability and compassion for those in need.
At the chapel of the Collegiate School of St Peter, Adelaide, on 12 April 1940, she married George Dempster Stevens, a clerk employed by Dalgety & Co. Ltd. They were to have two daughters.
Pursuing her interest in community health, Mrs Stevens was founding president (1944-50) and a committee-member (until 1961) of the Payneham branch of the Mothers' and Babies' Health Association.
After she sold her hospital in 1952, she set up Sterling Downs, a Poll Dorset stud on 2200 acres (890 ha) at Currency Creek, in 1957. She employed a manager to supervise the stud and visited it each week. In the 1960s she sold part of the land and moved the stud to Sterling Park, McLaren Vale. The stud was later sold and its sheep replaced with cattle.
Having noticed particular outcrops of rock at Sterling Park, Stevens arranged for drilling to be conducted, as a result of which she opened a quarry and sold building sands to the local council.
In 1968 she became interested in the mining potential of the Northern Territory. She studied maps, obtained advice from geologists and concentrated on an area near Oenpelli, Arnhem Land. She received permission to prospect on 1282 sq. miles (3320 km?) of Aboriginal reserve and negotiated an exploration programme with Queensland Mines Ltd.
In 1970 that company discovered what was then described as the richest body of uranium ore in the world, at a site known to local Aborigines as Nabarlek.
Newspapers referred to Stevens as 'probably the first woman in the world with a right to mine uranium'. She visited the area twice during the early stages of exploration and was staggered by the size of the find.
In August 1971, however, Queensland Mines downgraded the ore reserves to about one-sixth of those announced a year earlier. Intending to use some of the proceeds of her investment to benefit the health of the Aborigines, she transferred the exploration licences to Queensland Mines in May 1973 and negotiated a royalty agreement. Mining at Nabarlek began in 1979.
Mrs Stevens both created and took advantage of opportunities in the areas of mental health, sheep-breeding and mining. Suffering from hypertension, she died of a cerebral haemorrhage on 3 March 1974 in her Kensington Park home and was cremated. She was survived by her husband and their daughters. Her estate was sworn for probate at $416,266." [author Tony Bott].NurseSheep BreederMining EntrepreneurHospital Proprieto
