Local Medical Man Leads Dpen Forum

v _ ST. ANDREWS. N..B.. June 5- iCP)—Afl address by Miss Ct. M. Hall_ Montreal general secretary of the Canadian Nurses’ Associa- tion, was a feature of today's aes- sions of the Maritime Hospital Association.

Miss Hall declared hospital liv- ing and working conditlonaqimust be improved if hospitals were to attract and retain sufficient nurs- ing personnei of satisfactory calibre.

with new fields for nursing service, the present supply of nurses was too small to meet the increased demand. and many more oppc-ritiriiiies were opened to high school graduates than ex- isted a few years ago.

Miss Hall suggested it was ne- cessary for hospital financing to be placed on a sound basis through full assumption of this responsibility by the public.

The Maritime Hospital Aids met with Mrs. P. N. Woodly. Saint John. in the chair.

Officers will be elected tomor- POW.

An open forum on hospital problems was led by Dr. J. A. MacMillan. Charlottetown. Sub-

jects included fire drills, staff pensions. low interest rates for hospital construction financing.

qualifications of cottage and out- post hospitals and qualifications for major surgery. A film shown to the delegates was produced to help the pubii-c understand why hospitals needed support. how in- dlspensibie they were in protect- ing community health and how citizens had responsibility in this work.

OTTAWlA. June 5 -(Speola.l)- Following preiimiinary tests and completion of wiring, panelling and interior finishing, the new gar ferry Abegwelt. has been towed from the outfitting dock oi Marine Industries Limited at Sorel where she has lain since last fail and bcrthed at another wharf in deep- er water. Transport Department officials told The Guardian today.

While much of the finishing touches have been given the ferry by Marine Industries shipworkers, "exhaustive tests" of the ship's dy-naimos. engines and electrical control system remain to be made, it is added.

"This is no ordinary ship" a Transport Department spokesman explained; "it would almost be more accurate to describe it as a floating power-plant. Some refer to it as a ‘push-button’ ship on ac- count of the network of electrical and mechanical devises centred in the bridge.

"There will be a. most careful checking and re-c of the Abegiweivs entire electrical system before propellers are connected svlth the engines and the ferry makes its initial move into the St. Lauwerice."

IFarm Assistance illct Discussed

By JOHN LeBLANC (Canadian Press Stiff Writer)

OfITAWA. June 5 — (OP) — A Dominion-Wide Fedcml mop in- surance ‘plan was asked in the Commons today by John Bla k- more (SC-Lsthbridge) as the gov- e'rnment‘s bill amending t.:e Ptairlr Fbrm Assistance Act obtained rc- ond readtrg.

From other mrntbers in 0.790s- ition benches, the governmint ticsrd requests that pTCVlSlOM of the b'll —which provzdes payment; for drought iozsrs - be eased ‘o ai- iow payments where indivdua‘. farms are hit. At present. certain minimum areas must be affected before the P P..A.A. operates in a township.

Agriculture Minister Cardin-er fold the House in reply that the Act was. designed to keep farm?“ off sub-marginal land continuous- ly subject to drought loss. If a fairner insisted in staying 0.1 drought-stricken land wh-sn cihzr farms in his township wore flour- ishing, that was his own re pon- slbiilty. The government was‘ ready to take Olfl’ his farm and move him to better land.

Th, minister also infonnsd the House the government had told the provinces and mumeipaltl-s frequently that it would bq racdv to " the suggestion that some areas be allowed to make increas- ed payments into the P.F.AA fund in order to withdraw more in benefits.

Aiter disposing of the prairie measure, the House plunged for the second day into warm debate on N19 Government's control 1115561116 to define the authority tf United States niliitaiy couzts over "visit- ing" U5. service personnel in Can- ads.

likely that the christening will be done at Soroi where the ‘Lsoo-ton vessel is registered. From sqrel on conclusion oif final tests, the Abs“. welt will pro-peed. downstream to Quebec City where it will enter the drydook at Wolfe's Cove for com- plete inspection of the hull. Ai- thoulgh there is no reason to be- lieve the ferry was in any way damaged or affected by spending the winter frozen in Sorei basin. Transport Department inspectors say they are taking no chances.

"That ship will be in absolutely top condition before making ihe run from Quebec io Charlotte- town." an, lHSPQCtiQH brunch of- fic-ial said.

Ali Charlottetown

It l5 expected that the Abegtreit will dock at Charioitetoum after the run down the Si. Lawrence in order to give residents of the Pro- vincial capital and environs a chance to go aboard and see for themselves some of the modern and unusual features of the craft.

Department heads would give no definite date either ofLhe Abe;- weit‘s departure from Sorel or her arnival, at Charlottetown prior to entering service 0n the Borden- Tormentine run. At present it seems unlikely that the boat will be ln~ operation until about the

tltird week of July.
