. By Guardian’: Blleclhl Wire) AWA. May 11—Tluee experts Bureau of statistics present-

e¢.,hief5s to the House committee onl"flrioulture today providing data. to assist the committee in reach- ing a decision on whether farm im- plomenis cost too much in Canada.

Quesltnnaires have been sent out to the implement makers by R. T. Graham, counsel for the committee the statistics put on the rec- today were intended as a background to check against the replies the manufacturers make. After this ahs been completed it is proposed to call representatives of thejmplement makers before the committee.

g_ of the outstanding opinions 1 ‘ ssed today was that of J. B.

» ‘ rford of the agricultural h of the Bureau of -Statistics. e produced charts to show mat when depression hit the world, the farmerskept on producing at about the same rate as heretofore. The same applied to other primary in- dustries where tlte numbers of pro- ducers were large. The result was sharp breaks in prices.

on the other hand secondary in- dustries such as the farm ma- chinery manufacturers cut their production drastically but at first made comparatively narrow reduc- tions in price. Much of distress of the depression could have been averted if these industries had ad- opted a policy of price reduction and enlargement in the volume of goods produced.

W. H. Losee. head of the mining and metallurgical branch of the bureau presented a brief showing the falling off in production of farm implement manufacturers since the depression. In 1920 there were 32 plants each with an an- nual output of more than $250,070. The combined production of these plants amounted to 92 per cent of the total value of production. In Illa-i there W eeret anit8ingfa.E'I‘A 1934 there were eight plants. with an annual output of more than $250,000 and they produced 85 per cent of the total production.

VALEDICTORY ADDRESS

The following was the text of the valedictory address delivered by Miss Anna Bennett:

“Your Honour, Your Worship. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Medical and Nursing staffs, Class- mates. Ladies and Gentlemen,-

"We come before you tonight. another graduating class of the Prince Edward Island Hospital, and ask your kindly forbearance while for a few brief moments we en- deavour to say a fitting farewell to you, our friends.

“Thfte V035 380 the ambitions of earlier years were realised when, as probationers, we entered the training school of our alma mater. And how swiftly those years have passed. years with their memories of arduous work and study and sometimes bitter discouragement: but also years brightened by the appreciation and gratitude of the sick, and by the wise and sympg- thetlc counsel of our beloved super- intendent and her assistants. To- night. with mingled feelings of re- joicing and regret, of hope not un- mixed with fear, we come to that goal towards which we have striv- en, our formal entry into the field of our chosen profession.

“We believe that many causes have contributed to any success we may have achieved. Pbr three years our lot has been cast in this‘ beautiful city of -Charlottetown, with its many opportunities for so- cial and recreational activities. for mental and cultural development. Our training has been carried on in an institution pleasantly situ- ated. and possessing all the advent- ages of equipment and training faciuties which medical and surgic- al science has been able to devise. And may we here offer our tribute of praise to the Board of Trustees. whose progressive attitude and in- telligent co-operation with the medical and hospital staffs have done so much to give the Prince Edward Island Hcspital its nr:sent status? We note tonight with sad- ness the abszncc of one who was long a faithful irus'.ce of the in- stitution, the late Mr. James Paton. For many years he gave of his time and energy to promote the interests of the hospital, and did much to make possible the erection of the present building. He has been called to a. higher service, but truly his works do live after him. "As nurses-ir.-training, however. we have come to realize that brick and mortar and equipment do not in themselves make an institution. supreme in impcctance are the skill and tact of those directing its destinies, And to you. members of’ the medical staff. W‘; wish to con- vey our gratitude for the sound in- struction we have received, for the helpful suggestions given. and for the kindly tolerance you have shown in the correction of our mis- takes. We owe you much. and in bidding you farewell We pray that you may long be spared to carry

on your noble work.

Is not our motto one of ‘service’? And, if we are to be useful mem- bers of the nursing profession, we must keep certain principles and practices constantly before us. Our conduct must be in all respects above reproach. our health must be a matter of constant concern. The cultivation of a cheerful, op- timistic, and sympathetic dispo- sition is indispensable. A well guarded tongue and a discreet re- ticence regarding things profes- sional must be the unfailing rule. Professional knowledge and skill are fundamental, as without these effective work is impossible. We must keep constantly in mind the instruction we have received, and be ever on the alert to acquire any new knowledge that may be of service. And, finally, we must have a real love for our profession. and an unbounded faith in that suffer- ing humanity we are called upon to serve.

“Give love, and love to your life will flow,

A strength in your utmost need:

Have faith, and a score of hearts will show

Their faith in your work and deed.

“Pbr life is the mirror of king and slave; "I‘is just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you."

ADDRESS T0 GRADUATES

The following was the text of Dr. Giddings' address to the graduates: “It is my privilege to congratulate the graduates of the Prince Edward Island Hospital. on their attaining the distinction of having reached the threshold of their chosen career. It is fitting, too. that on this date those of the Nursing Profession commemorate a life-time of self- sacrifico and devotion to duty of one who defined the basic principles upon which the superstructure of modern nursing has been erected. Need I refer in name to Florence Nightingale?

"Her life is one long example. for the graduating nurse. It was not gain that prompted her work, nor was it fame. From the sum of money subscribed as a memorial to “the noble exertions of Miss Night- ingale and her associates in the hospitals of the east” she founded the Nightingale training school for nurses at st. Thomas‘ Hospital in London. Probably her great con- tribution to nursing lies in her "Notes on nursing". "what it is, and what it is not“. which are a classic and hold good to the present day. Florence Nightingale dreamed a dream of organized. scientific nurs- ing. and from its nebulous shape. due to her influence. is formed the nursing profession as we know it today.

Honourable Calling

"You may well be proud of your chosen profession.

"You who graduate today have spent three years in preparation for your life-work. Why?

“If it is for gain than I fear you will be disappointed. If for fame you will only get it by service to mankind. If you have entered the profession for the love of service and things worth while, then you are to be commended. I know of no more worthy or honorable call- ing than that of the nursing pro- feselon.

“We hope that those years have given you scientific knowledge. The modern nurse should no longer merely be the gentle attendant at the sick-bed, able to perform only a. few practical duties: but she should now be also a watchful, trained ob- server. of sy.,,‘ of disease. of the development of complications and of the effect of drugs. In this cap “ and because of her con- stant presence at the bed-side she should be of inestimable value to the physician in the management of the complex and often treacher- ous phenomena of disease.

"We hope those three ' ""s have taught you something t ~. the ' tlflc outlook. Sam’ " ‘ of

nce, gentleness and 1. study The Patient

"The human organism is very in- teresting when seen through the window of the laboratory and op- erating room. but of grelt interest to the nurse should be the human understanding. Each patient should be to you a book which you must study as well as puui e. Through a thorough understan ing of the individual, his or her likes and dis- likes, habits and mental outlook. you will be able to render yuir best in the interests of the patient and physician.

Poet-graduate Work Necessary

"Might I here suggest that every nurse should take a post-- aduate course whenever the opportunity of- fers itself. Not only will this fit you for lpccili work when the oc- casion erises. but it will give you many advantages in private nursing. one can only do one’: but when properly equipped. and training in observation. thinking and reading. will enable you to better perform your duties in whatever branch of the profusion you may be This taofoneubll: 353 to I Vfllllih 0 II III to Will]! 70!! have found yourself pal-tialialiy

The agreement, marking the first commercial contractural relation- ship between the two countries in more than a century, was Slsnecl on May 6 but its details were withheld until today. -

Under it France agreed to open its markets to increased quantities of United states fresh apples and pears. leaf tobacco, some types of automobiles and parts, canned sal- mon, logs and lumber, silk hosiery. agricultural machinery and tractors, radios and refrigerating applratus. These were included in a list of 44 iteim for which present French im- port quotas were enlarged or new

France also agreed to 19 reduc- tions in duties and to continue ex- istlng rates on a number of other American articles. The partial lib- eralizing of that country's present quota export exclusion system was regarded by officials here, however, as by far the most important to the United States.

In return, this country agreed to lower existing tariffs up to 50 per cent on such French products as. certain types of wines, brandy. lace and other so-called “luxury" artic- les. embracing in all '77 items. Because of the present political situation in France. accompanied by uncertainty over future monetary policies. significance was attached by observers to one article of the agreement providing for modifica- tion or termination on 30 days no- tice should the relative value of the currencies of the two countries chance so widely that the industries or commerce of either would be prejudiced. state Department officials con- tended this provision. also contain- ed in a similar treaty with Belgium. would tend of itself to act as stab. ilizing influence.
