"It ls hard for Canadians who have not been to Ottawa, to re- elize how far our freedom has been placed in jeopardy in the last Parliament," said 'MI. Donald

ton, in a vigorous speech at O'- Leary last evening.

Mr. Fleming denounced the present administration for legisla- tion by Order in Council; for ex- cessive and unnecessary taxation since the war, and for being soc- lalistic.

He spoke to a large audience in the Verdun Theatre, which was also addressed by Brig. John Price, candidate for the district of Prince. and by a number of local speakers.

Dr. George Dewar and Mr. Al- lison Horne were joint chairmen.

"It. was with amazement that one read that the Prime Minister had said that there are no issues in this election.” Mr. Fleming said. "Because there are great isues. And the most fundamental one is the question of the place oi the individual in the scheme ofthings.

Mr. Planting stated that Parlia- mert has had a rival, a competit- or, that does not operate in the open. It's methods and decisions aresecrei. lie said he referred to the Order in Council factory at Ottawa which is producing at the greatest rate in history. Since Sep- tem/ber 1, 1939, one hundred and fifty thousand Orders in Council have been passed. Of this num- ber 50.000 were passed since the end of hostilities.

Rehrring to the belated tax reductions, Mr. Fleming said that they have ncver beccme law. “Mr. Abbott came before parliament and sad that the government proposed to make certain tax re- nos scuttled.

I West Point Ferry

E Referring to the West Point Ferry project, he said that he had read the briefs prepared. Iwhlch were soundly conceived and lweii argued. He could see no , reason why the project should not be put into effect. He promised. if elected, to do everything in his power to have it done. Both Mr. Fleming and Mr. Price spoke briefly in French. Mr. Sanford Philips, president ~oi west Point Ferries Ltd, ad- ldressed the meeting and outlined lihe historjy of the West- Point tFerry pro etct. He said that Prince ‘County has had only two Conser- vative representatives since Con- federation.

Mr. Phillips canpared the prices received by farmers and fisher- men during the "hungry 30's" with the prices that have been rzcsived in recent. years under Llbsral ad- ministration.

TI-IE GUARDIAN.

Six graduating nurses of the Prince County Hospital received their diplomas and pins last even- ing at the graduation exercises of the hospital held in the High School auditorium. Thu graduates were: Opal V. Clarke, Magdalene Islands: A. Wilma Ramsay, O‘Leary, R.-R.: Helen R. Bell. Murray Harbour; Mary L. Carr, Klnkora; L. Mae Best, Linkietter Road; Mable J. Sturdy, Klnkora.

The presentation of diplomas was made by Mr. Walter Darby, K. C., chairman of the board of dir- actors and the presentation of pins by the superintendent Mrs. Boehner. '

Introductory remarks were made by His Worship J. F. Arneft, who congratulated the I949 class of nurses and told them they had come to a milestone in their lives. There have been times, he said. "when you have been discouraged and weary but now you have your reward, your diploma. From now on you assume great responsibili- tiel in life." Mayor Arnett extended on behalf of the people of Sum- merslde sincere congratulations tc the graduates.

Trustees Report

In presenting his report as chair- man of the trustee board, Mr. Walter Darby, K. C., said:

"It seems only a short time ugo that we were gathered here in this hall to witness the graduation ex- ercises of a class of student nurses who had only recently completed their training and who were about to receive their diplomas, the out.- ward mark of the success of their hard years of training. Tonight ave are here on another such occas- ion."

Mr. Darby then introduced the graduates to the audience indivi- dually and said that these, too. have shown their desire and their wish to be nf service to their ieliowmen and women by following the noble nursing profession. The Braduate nurses of the institution have always given a good account of themselves, "and I am sure that this class will maintain not only the high standard of their pre- decessors but also will be a credit to the institution through which they are now being graduated. . .. may I wish you one and all every success in the years that lie ahead. "At these graduation exercises it has become the custom for the chairman of the board to give some report on the work that has been carried on in the institution dur- lng the year and also to give tn the public at large some indication as to the financial position of the hospital. Strictly speaking these matters should perhaps be more properly dealt with at the annual meeting where such a report must of necessity to be given by the board to the shareholders of the institution, which shareholders are you. the public of this county. It is perhaps only on occasions such as these that We have gathered to- gether so many of lhafinieresied public and perhaps it is as ueii that the custom has been so tie-

veloped. "Of course, the business of the hospital is somewhat different

cern. in as much as we deal not in the sale of goods but in the sale, if I may say the word, of ‘service.’

"That service of course is the care of the sick through the med- ium of institutional treatment. The methods. the technique and inter- nal routine are the paramount concern of the medical staff, the superintendent, the nurses and technicians serving within its walls.

"The Board itself exercises a supervisory control over the sup- ply oti equipment, material, per- sonnel and services generally, consistent with the revenues at its disposal.

"Our hospital is particularly fortunate in having professional men of the highest calibre serving; on its stni-f. Our medical, surgicalfl X-ray, anaesthetic and patholf/Z" icai services would do credit to any institution. The superintend- ent nnd nursing staff have per- formed an exceptionally fine job under congested conditions. We appreciate the good work which they have done and take tins op-i portunity to say so. publicly. "The scope oi the work per- formed within the walls of our institution is indicated by the fol- lnwng review of hospitalization: (Lost year's figures in brackets) Patients treated 2524 12439»: babies, 590 (616); X-rays, 2643 (2443); hospiialdnys, 2541B (D4770); major operations, 312 (3841; minor operations, 78D (677); tonsillect- omies, 160.

"Apparently in i045 the tonsil operations were included with those of the major operations so that if we were to include them this year. that would make 462 major operations as compared with 3B4 during the previous year. "Planter casts, 18d i158); labor- atory procedurea, 7077 1.6840); blood transfusions, 800 (llli.

"In addition we had 1079. out- patients. that is those whose stay in the hospital did not exceed one day, as compared with 1014 for the previous year.

"This certainly is a tremendous volume o! work to have been car- ried on in our smell Oil-bed capac- tty hospital with only one oper- ating and one delivery room. In addition to these we maintained cur nursing school and as you know we have six young gradu- ates reativ to take their place as part of the profession.

self shows a very satisfactory state of affairs.

"Many of the rooms have been newly decorated. additional beds and furniture have been acquired and all of the latest approved type. May I horn and now oz- preu to tho members of the Lad- ies’ Aid our sincerest gratitude for the splendid work which they have carried on during the year. It is a trite saying that most of our churches would cease to function if it were not for tho work under- taken by the good women of the churches. and I am beginning to think that churches are not the only public body which would cease to function if it were not for the interest thot our women take in their wellbeing.

"We have been particularly for- tunate in having on our board of trustees the president of the Ladies’ Aid in the person of Mrs. Heath Strong. We find that on every occasion when some special feature was being discussed for the ctmiort of the patient or to make more pleasant the surround- ings, not only in the hospital but also in the nurses‘ home, that the volunteered assistance of the La- dies‘ Aid seemed to be always forthcoming.

"We can not too heartily ex- press our appreciation cf that co- operation and tha-t unselfish spirit which theyhave shown at all titrnes, We also wish to thank the members of the ODbto Club for the many valuable additions and im- provements which they have pro- vided for the maternity and chil- dren's wards in the lnsilutlon. The infants section has been brought imcier theis- constmt care to a high state of perfscJon. For all these things we are deeply grateful and we can flScUIQ them that wihile their good deer‘: carry within them the seeds of their ewn reward. the board cad the pu-blic generally are not u..m.'nd- ful nor unappreciatve of their splendid efforts."

Address by D1. Beer

The gdaduates were aidrssséd by Dr. J.K. Beer, M.D.., C..M.., ci Kensington who said that he was honored to have. the pivilege of addressing you on tliis occasion. Such an event, though it marks the end of three ye:rs of arduous work both mental and physical. also marks the threshold of a life of service t0 t'l‘e community.

Now you stand on the thresh- holci of this new lie, now you are ‘to function in the cctnntunity as individual units, pirilaps many times dependent on Your own in- litiative and ingenuity.

Dr. Beer then enumerated the {quail-ties to he sought es funda- ‘ntental in the work of nuxsng, _such as alertness and patience. 'Anotlier attribute, he said, which its lndispensibie, is kindness. iMan's vwthole life has been built on this prmciple, "Do unto others ns ,you would have them do unto lyou‘. Lastly he said, "You must never violate the sacred bonds o! secrzry for in ycur przf sslon you will be the racl-piznis of the most intimate da-talls in the lives of those with whom you ccm: in contact."

Dr. Bier closed by expressing the hope that they might b: en- dowed with every success and happiness in tire future.
