Yet in the 15th plank of their platform, this Conservative Party promises to follow the Premier's lead and abolish land taxes. This is surely e platform of desperation! How the Conservatives, if un- happily they should ever get into power, expect to reduce taxes and at the same time repudiate the agreement with the Dominion by which we get over 8.000.000 en- nually, is more than I can under- stand, and there are many others like me. The Conservative plat- form is more than the platform of desperation-Jt is the platform of despair.

Discussing the problems created in this Province by sharply In- creasing costs of fccd grains, ihe Doctor suggested that the soIu-, tion to the problem proposed hi’ both Federal Agriculture Minis-- fer Gardiner and Premier Jones. that Prince Edward Island farm-j ers grow more grain, would harri- ly feed their animals this winter.

Farmers here had increased livestock production, when asked to by the Federal Government, Now they were being caught by a situation in which they stood to, lose money. And at a time when. hog production was declining, due to high feed costs. people overseas were starving. The situation was brought about by Liberal Govern- ment bungling.

Dr. MaclVfilJan made reference to; a recent speech by Mil‘. Grahaml Rogers. He suggested that an arti- cle by the same mall. published a few monlrhs ego. should be studied‘ for comparison with his more rc-, cent talk. l

Mr. Helm. He referred particular- ly to Premier Jones’ promise before the 1943 election. to provide rural electrification. But instead of- car'- rying out that promise, the Gov- err-rrent had failed to co-oporate with the only firm in the province in a position to provide the needed power. “We promise 00 give rural, electrification when we are in pow- er.“ the speaker said.

P. ‘s. Island Hospital School For Nurses Spelling Tomorrow

The new Prince Edward Island Hospital ‘Praining School for Nurses will be opened tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Jus- tice George J. Tweedy. chairman o1 the Board of Trustees. will pre- side at the function.

The ladies of the Hospital will serve afternoon tea. and the public is cordially invited to attend and inspect the new premises. An op- portunity will also be afforded visi- tors to inspect the Veterans’ Wing and the re-arrangement of the main Hospital Kitchen and Dining Room.

The new building housing the School for Nurses is situated east of the Hospital proper facing Brighton Road. Its dimensions are 43 X 135.

Economy in the use of space is s feature of the'new structure — every inch being fully utilized to the best possible advantage.

On the ground floor there are the following; Class room, demon- stratlon room, library, laundry, diet kitchen, office, stores and seven bedrooms. The first floor comprises sixteen staff nurses, bedrooms, reception room, house mother's bed and sitting room, superintendent's bed and sitting room and superintendent of nurses‘ bed and sitting room. The last three have private hathroopi facilities. In addition there are two ccxnmon washrooms with the most modern plumbing fixtures. There is also a large staff nurses’ sitting room.

There are twenty students’ bed- rooms on floor two, every one as

cn the lower floors. A11 rooms are supplied with hot and cold water writing desks and convenient clothes closets. Three washrooms are situated on the top floor and a large room has been provided for the student nurses as a sitting room. .

The building is heated by an oil furnace. located at the eastern end of the ground floor.

All floors are covered with bat- tleship linoleum and attractive drapes on all windows add much '0 the general appearance. The new training school which was constructed by the M. F. Schurman Co.. has an outside wall t-f insul brick ovcr- board finish. The inside wall has two thicknesses of gyproc board. The floor‘ beams are of steel joists with concrete slabs. The ceilings have one thick- ncss of acoustic tile on gypsum hoard. At prdsent the institution has an exceptionally large number of stu- dent nurses. Sixty-two are in training now. Up to this time the nurses have been quartered in the

top floor of the Veterans‘ Wing and in the Cundall Home. The removal from the former

will mean that there will be 50 more hospital beds available. Vet- erans of course will have first call on these. This will raise the total bed capacity to 200.

The main hospital kitchen and dining room have been re-arrang- ed and present a very smart and attractive appearance.

Extensive plans are being made for landscaping the large grounds next year.
