0fI'l'AWA. June a ..(op) .. Federal and Provincial authorities will meet in the next few months to carry forward plans for civil defence of Canada at the Provin- cial level. Defence Minister Claxton said today.

He spoke in a general Commons defence debate which produced these devedopments:

1. Lt.-Col. Douglas Harkness (PC-Calgary East), working as an individual, said Canada should take thglcsd in urging rearmlng of Western Germany and advocated inclusion of Franco Spain in the Atlantic Pact.

2. M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. lender, protested the discharge of a Regina man from the Air Force for allegedly having a Ccv.-nmunist background. an ac- cusation he was given no chance to answer. Mr. Claxton said the man. a radar and electronics expert. was an of- ficer ln the Young Communist League in 1938. Helndlcated at least one other man was dis- charged for similar reasons.

3. Mr. Claxton said the At- lantic Pactls policy of bal- hnoed collective forces is "implicit in collective defence' and will have "no immediate effect" .on Canadian forces or planning. However, Canadawas ready to sit down and discuss her part in planning the best possible to-tal pact defence.

4. The Minister said Can- ada. has undertaken no milit- ary itments under the pact. I-fe doubted the pact would ever develop that way but if mch commitment; came they would be made by the Government and by Parlia- Jnent. - ,

5. He said the army's alr- borne brigade is so per cen-tup to strength, that 405 Canadian servicemen now are abroad. that Vancouver will shortly have the peoond R. 0. A. F. Teoerve radar squadron. and Canada now has more trained paratroopers than Genrnany dropped on the Low Countries in the spring of 1940.

6. George Drew. Progressive Conservative leader, said Can- aada ” ” concentrate on air and armored forces if she is to live up to her share of the Concept of balanced collective forces under the Minute Pact. They must be ready for im- mediate dispatch overseas.

"There is a strong view in both the United states and Canada and it is also my opinion that the overall economic outlook for 1900 is good," Mr. Graham ,'l'owe:a, Governor of the Bank of Canada. last night told a large group of political, business and profession- ai men at e Government-sponsored dinner at The Charlottetown.

This optimistic outlook is based upon three factors. Mr. Towers stated: Exports, new capital in- vestmenta and consumer demands. "The overall export situation looks good. It appears to be the inten- tions of the people to increase their investments over those of 1949 and the consumer demand re- mains good."

In reviewing the nation's pro- gress since the depression years. he noted that a gradual expan- sion had iaken place without the people developing an atmosphere of a boom. .

Every year since 1938 the coun- try has continued to make pro- gross. he stated. During the seven- teen year period the value of pro- duction has increased two and one half times while the population has increased by 25 per cent. This means that the output per person has increased by 75 per cent. Tho Canadian standard of living has increased by 80 per cent during this period, he noted.

About 60 people were present at the dinner arranged for- the visit- ing Bank directors and presided over by Premier J. Walter Jones. Mr. Norman A. Healer. bank dir-

Premier Jones after welcoming the visitors told them of the ls- land's transportation problems. "We need scheduled car ferry scr- vicea at two points in the Prov- ince." he stated. There is a trem- endous market in Nova Scotia that could be developed through truck service. he added.

He told the directors that the Province would like to get a little better communications to

markets particularly by ships and outlined to them the trade pos- sibilities along the North Atisnic coast from Seven Islands to Que- bec, Labrador and Newfoundland points. '

After hearing Mr. Towers ad- dress. Premier Jones pointed out the need to establish a factory here that could handle fillets and ship these fish to fishermen throughout Canada. The fisheries industry is in a transitional period he stated and the need is chang- ing from the eating of dried salt cod and hake to frozen fillets. I think a factory may have to be built for this purpose in the near future.

He also pointed out that Island Government had to step in and MM

The train had left Birmingham this morning.

The bodies of the victims. were found in the third compartment of the second coach.

Fire Insurance Underwriters Meet

MURRAY BAY,Que.Juneti-(CP) -Canada's 200-odd fire and cas- ualty insurance companies have hun- dreds of thousands of claims to settle each year, but rarely does either policy holders or insurance company find it necessary to ap- peal to the court for a satisfactory settlement. .7. victor Owen of Montreal today told the annual meeting of the Dominion Board of insurance Underwriters.

"This indicates to my mind that the industry has a high sense of its raponsibilities to the eltiaena of this country." the Board presi- dent said.

The mic of insurance. he said. is to provide indunnity in those who suilfer loeaas. That role was brought to public attention most dramatically when catastrophic losses occurred, but "there are periods so free from catastrophic losses that even insurers think of them in retrospect-than comes a nimouslri, a cabano or s Winnipeg disaster."

Impressive Graduation

Willi St. Dunatan's Basilica as an impressive settling, fourteen nurses, who received their train- ing at Charlottetovm Hospital, were given their diplomas last night at the annual graduation exercises.

The processional opened event with the graduating being accompanied into the Be- silica by the junior and inter-. mediate student nursea. Sister Stanlalau. Sister Mary Irene, and Mother Paula, the administratrix, of the Charlottetown Hospital.

After a hymn sung by the Rev. B. Gillls, the exhortation to the graduates was given by His Ex- ccllency. Most Rev. James Boyle. D. D. Bishop Boyle expressed his pleasure at being able to address the graduates at so important an occasion in their lives. He also mentioned that it was very fitting that the ceremony be held in church because 1950 is Holy Year and that yesterday was also the day of the Feast of Corpus Christi. He concluded with the remark that the new nurses might well model their future work after the Nursing Sisters who had in- structod them.

His Excellency then presented the diplomas. The graduates be- came registered nurses after they repeated the Jeanne Manse Pledge.

The sermon was iliVGii by REV- R. v. Ellsworth, D.D.. who cori- gratulated the nurses on their choice of a pr-fession and cau- tioned them that they were now servants of the public and that everything they did would be re- flccted on the hospital at Wl'llCll they had trained. The speaker re- viewed the history of medicine and particularly nursing up to the time of Florence Nightingale. He pointed out that although the lat- ter was not the first nurse it was she who brought reform to .ihe profession which had come from the Nursing Sisterhood: into the hands of the lay people. - -

Rev. Dr. Ellsworth concluded by observing that to be a good nurse it was necessa ,7 to have a I005 moral law based fundamentally on the Ten Commandment
