"Some of you will go on to Post Graduate, some to general duty, some to special duty, some to a new career of marriage; some will always be students, some who found it difficult to open a book will most likely never read anoth- er journal or text.

ings. i “The true nurse will always re- imain a student. She must if she iis to take her place in this tops)- turvy world. For it is a world iuii cf jumbled expressions of jumbleri |mllld5_ ii paradoxical world. Wr *lieve more hospital beds, yet Wt have less than we need._ We have better equipment and doctors, yet we have more patients.

“we have eliminated many ill- nesses, yet. more people are ill. We have more nurses than over, yet we have less nurses than ever, (so that recently-I read where a hos- pital could not be opened because of a lack of nurses). We have bet- ter wages for our laboring classes. our people are better off. yet we have more unemployment. We see among our people more Christian- ity. vet. less people go to Church. More children are born, yet fam- ilies are smaller. More homes ere built, yet more homes are needed.

“We see nations trying to help each other, yet netions are trying to destroy each other. We see nations bound together to form a peace yet within our times there has been world war after world war and the threat of the contin- uance of the same, We see the most destructdve force man has ever been able to devise in the hydrogen bomb. yet we also see in that same device better healing. better industry and better medic- inc.

“How inadequate then you must feel. I say inadequate because many would turn to the good old days and make us. the present generstiomfoel that ell the world's ills are our fault rather than our lot. You are not inadequate, you are far from inadequate.

"You have a profession honour- ed and revered by all. You are taught about intricacies of the human organisms, the working of the mind, the functioning of the body. the harmonious interplay of the mind and body that is the mechanism of the total personal- ity. . "And yet well we should know about the mechanisms of the total personality. for better surgery, bet- ter anesthesia. better medicine, better drugs. advent of miracle drugs. etc. have all gone towards e better understanding of men and his effilietions. Yet as previ- ously mentioned our hospitals to- day ere uvI:l'CX'0WdGd with the mul- titude of varying ills with an emotional or nervous component which makes the better under- standing of these patients impers- tlve.

Dr. Therieuit stead the reasons for this changing aspect of medi- cine is the fact that we live in an ever changing world. He recalled that g leading psychiatrist from the United States speaking at a seminar had spoken of the follow- ing changes in our way of living: The diseppeerenoe of the home- steed, the outing of women from ‘ position in the home and family, and the weakening of the power end Influence of those institutions whole historic mission it is to iridoctrlnele man in the habitudes end practices of altruism

He said the homestead has all but disappeared and so too has the opportunity to learn by in- timate experiences end observation much of the skill and wisdom that is prerequisite to effective living and we have not yet devnlovod or cultivated an adequate substitution.

With regard to the ousting of the women from her postflou in the home and femily he said that for many scores of thousands of years women was the wife and mother. nurse and teacher. "she spun the yarn and wove the cloth. sh: tailored. slrdenod. ran the kltehen. she moulded candid. see- served foods. I184! IND 90°!“ beked end ' ‘ ‘ IN to the hundreds of details that

“All this however has been changed. One after another her function have been taken from has; mostly by the machine, an that now she is no more than an added gimmick to run a gimmick in en already gadget happy kitchen.

her ebility as e home-maker.

"Woman has been forced out of the home. perhaps by our chang- ing economic picture, but this has not changed her essential biolog- ical outlook. She has been forced out and has competed with man but in many ways has refused to .giV0 up her femininity. Women enter professions. they wear our clothes, as evidenced by slacks, peddle pushcrs. tailored suits. etc.. yet expect to be the recipient of chivalry that would do Justice to e Sir Walter Raleigh."

Dr. Theriault told the graduat- ing elsse that “the cold, efficient nurse may satisfy her personal needs but she must remember that the hospital is not a garage and the patient in for e check-up needs more care and e little more sympathy than simply hooking him to various machines with multit- udinous dials flicking about in gay abandon. A hospital cannot afford to be e cold, unfriendly, unemot- ional building. If it La e warm friendly place, it is so because of the nurse and it is e truism that any good hospital is such because of its nursing staff.

“If it is true that the best things

in life are free, then one of your greatest assets in life will not be .he cold efficiency with which yot will dispense your duties but you- ability to make inter-personal ra- lationships. The friendly gesture the kind deed, the friendly smil- will forever be remembered by you‘ patients. For e smile costs nothlny but gives much; it enriches thos- who receive it without. makiny poor those who give it; it takea- but a moment but the memory o" it sometimes lasts forever. Non- .a so rich or mighty that he car get along without it and none ii so poor that he can't be made rich by it. .‘'In closing then may I leav- uith you~the live rules of conduev addressed to the American Psy- chiatric Association by the I"eLll‘lf1' president, Dr. Ewen Cameron of Montreal.

“‘Our first rule of conduct ther- is to offer as citizens and neigh- bors what skllls we have in the understanding of people. Our sec- ond rule of conduct is our oblige- tion to be familiar with our times. to seek and to know the meanini: of this great passage in humar affairs. As a third rule of conduct I would press upon you our great need to be whole persons.

“The fourth rule of conduct should be the never ending need to be simple in approaching the problems of our times. And dfthly he said, I would give you en en- during rule of conduct that has guided men everywhere in days of trouble. namely: to follow courage and wisdom. 'ro these five rules of conduct I would add a sixth. which would be—-have faith in your beliefs, have faith in your God.“

light Plane from Moncion Makes Forced landing

—A l-‘leet Canuck plane from the Moncton Flying Club was forced to land on the farm of Ralph Compton and Sun. S‘. Eieanors, about eleven o'clock yesterday morning when it ran out of fuel. The pilot was Bill Crandali of Moncton and e stu- dent of the flying club, who was making e cross country flight. He had come over from Moncton and landed at the Summersldo airport. When he took off for Charlottetown his fuel gauge was showing full but unfortunately it was stuck in that position and in reality his gas supply had run out.

His forced landing was made under high tension wires which cross the field and in landing the wing tip of his plane grased :- fence post at the edge of the field, damaging it slightly. The chief instructor of the club, Arthur Farmer. came over at once and flew the plane off, a procedure which is necessary, ec- cording to regulations-S.

charge Pension

Dr. Lumsdsn said the Legion_ sited the cues to beck its request that pensions, when granted, should be made retroactive to the data of application. Pensions now can be pre-detcd e maximum. of three years but under new legisla- tion before parliament. this max- imum period would be reduced to in months.

The legion president seid there must be human error in any or- ganisation. The commie had made mistakes in the past and it would in the future. Making pen- sion awards retroactive to date of application would correct injus- tices ceu ‘ by commission errors.

This should apply even if only one vetcren were involved.

Cases cited by the legion in- cluded these :

It took one veisren 4% years be- fits a wee ted for sebiso ie. The me had been unable to work for six years but the pension was made retroactive for only 10 months. The applica- tion for pension was refused seven times before being finally granted. No new medical evidence was sub- mitted in that time.

A widow was at first refused a pension on the death of her hus- bend. a veteran. because no" med- icel evidence could be found to substantiate the claim. The legion said it obtained the necessary in- formation from the veterans wer service records. which were avail- able in the pension commission.
