He viewed with ap- prehension. however, any mass movement in Ottawa bureaucratic circles to reduce the number of hours of work down to 33 and a half weekly. Moreover, Mr. McLure said. any reduction of Civil Service hours is a matter which should be threshed out on the floor of Par- liament itself and not: put through by order-in-council at a. time when the House is not: sitting. "I believe in fair treatment and fair working hours for everyone in this country." Mr. MeLure said- "I also believe in a fair day's work and a fair day's pay. What Taxpayers Think “I wonder," he added. "what our farmers would think and what our fishermen would think of a Civil Service with a thirty- two and a half hour working week, and what they think is most important since they as all others in this country pay the taxes ivhlch support the Civil Service."

To avoid complications, the Canadian Government was in- structing the crown-owned Can- adian Commercial Corporation to buy newsprint from all the Can- to iidian producers. in amounts de- mand ;ters of Charity and of Mercy. So "That; great and noble leader of ' much impress“ w“ ‘he by m: men, who had already providedl so much in the way of educational I facilities in the establishing of| Notre Dame Convent, St. Josephs Convent and St. Patrick's School. which still stand to this day as] monuments to perpetuate his} memory. yet ever ready to lead‘ his people in Christian progress, in 1879 brought here from the: City of Quebec six Sisters oft Charity to found the Charlotte- town Ho pital. what they think of a thirty-two pending on their production, and sell it. to Argentina. Mr, Abbott said one contract for 9.000 tons of edible fats was already signed and negotiations for another. 9.000 tons were well advanced. Without saying what the exact price would be. he lsst year but: below open market quotations. Tells 0f Difficulties He told of the difficulties Can- ada had been facing in obtaining essential supplies of edible oils. The international allocation com- mittee had agreed to allow Can- stis to import. the same amount as last. year but this had not solved the problem. "Some of the sources from which we drew heavily last YOM‘ are no longer available to us; and our need for imports is greater because domestic production of lard and other animal and mar- ine oils and fats is running be- low last year's levels." said Mr. Abbott. "We have been confronted by a very difficult and serious situat- ion. If certain negotiations had fallen through. we should have found ourselves lacking nearly iitilf of our imports of edible oils. Moreover, since the larger part of cur domestic supplies not not. be- come available until later in the year. the full impact of the shortage would hsvs fallen in the summer months. "Less titan half of the normal supplies would have been avail- i-ble. Important industries would have been completely disorganiz- cd. particularly the baking in- dustry. Shortening for household purposes would virtually have dis- rppeared from retail stores." To meet this situation the negotiations had been undertaken with Argentina. one of the most important sources available. Mr. Abbott told John .Diefen- baker (PC-Lake Centre) Argen- tina had not. asked that she be allowed to send aircraft. here. Replying to Harry Jackman 'PC—Toronto Rosedale). the Min- ister said he had no information about the price st which the newsprint would be sold to the Argentine. "And tose good Sisters and their successors. known ss the Grey Nuns, were familiar and well beloved figures in and about this City for more than half s cent- ury. when they were succeeded by the Sisters of St. Martha. under whose management a Nurses’ Training School was established. thus giving you the facilities forl your training and the privilege nl calling the Charlottetown Hospit-l at your Alma Mater. Practical Christianity "A cursory perusal of history should make it. apparent to rill that the care and nursing of the sick has always been and still is a practical application of the teachings of Christianity and one of the great and noble efforts o.’ the Catholic Church. ‘But. per- haps, I hear you say as others have said: "We are not garbed iu religious habit. We are not of the Augustlans of Dleppe, or the Grey Nuns of Quebec or even the Sisters o! St. Martha of Prince Edward Island. We are a ltiy organization and we owe our ori- gin to Florence Nightingale‘. "That calls for a story in itself and one much too long to be in- flicted upon you at this time. Some historical observations are; necessary. we glean from thet pages of history that wherevér the Missionaries went and wher- ever the Church flourished. there. too. under the control and inan- agemsnt of Monks and Nuns, were founded hospitals. orphan- ages and other humanitarian tn- stitutions for the cat-e of God's afllicted and for the care of the needy and sick. Anti so inspiring were the works of those institut- ions that men snd women of wealth and power showered upon them gifts of lands and gold. Within those institutions were found the centres of culture and learning and the social service organizations of the time. But the i day came when their wealth and possessions came under the covet.- ous eyes of ambitious and greedy men who confiscated their hold- ings and endowments and left; their feeble and helpless inmates to the mercy of charitable persons or to a death from privstion in rumor: nuraar. ac. - tori] —Whiio most 3.0. municipalities are boosting the tux rate.

Years 0f Decadence “Of course, hospitals continued as institutions, but, bereft of the‘ influence of religion and charity, and the patronage of the genteel and iiobie ladies of the lsnd their services were doomed to decad- ence and decay. And hand in haul with the decadence of the hospital services went the decad- ence of the nu ' profession. No longer were women drawn to the profession from the love to ‘serve; the majority who took up nurstngdidllullaltlelmlf- training received by the Sisters that sh€ actually tried to obtain permission. while still remaining a non-Catholic, to’ wear the habit of the sisters of Charity in their institution in Dublin that she might: be able to receive the ac‘.- ual training of the Sisters. ‘The reason which prompted that extraordinary request will be found in her own words addressed to Doctor Manning. later Cardinal Manning, to whom she wrote‘ the following words iii June of 1852: ‘For what training is there com- pared with that of a Catholic Nun. Those who are not Sisters have not the chastened temper. the Christian grace, the accomp- lished loveliness and energy of the regular nun. I have some» thing oi’ the different kinds of sisters and am no longer yountn; and do not speak from enthusf- u ssm but from experience, “there is nothing like the training which the Sacred Heart or the Order of St. Vincent gives to women’, “Remembering that the orders mentioned were the principal or- ders of Nursing Sisters of that. day, let us, tonight. repeat those words as our very own and let its re-echo them with our applause as our tribute to the good Sisters of St. Martha for their zeal and efforts in relieving the sick and the suffering in this City and in this Province. Sisters of Charity "would that this were an oc- casion and that I had the time to repeat to you the story of the accomplishments, on the Crimean battle fields, of Florence Nightin- gale and her noble band of nur- ses. ten of whom were Catholic Nuns, but. that I must forego. ex- cept to briefly say that the coin- fortl and relief which they brought to the suffering British soldiorl were already being administerfl to their comrades. the sol rs of France by the Sisters of nrity who. as the London Times stated, ‘had accompanied the expedition in incredible numbers’. “After her return to England from the Crimea. Florence Night- ingale again took up the work of hospital reform, and in the face of indifier iice. not only from the general pu tic but from the med- lcsl profession as well, she did reform the public hospitals of England and had them staffed with nurses trained after her plan -the plan which she had learned from the Sisters of Charity. Her influence has been felt all over the English speaking world where her work has improved the lot of millions in need of hospital care "Race. color. creed and even time can buiiti no barriers bo- tween her and her rightful plane amongst the noble women of English history. and millions of English men yet unborn will sing ti» birth. Nevertheless, m} friends, you are not the profes- sional daughters of Florence Nightingale. You are. indeed, her professional sisters, because you have received your training and preparation for your work. as she received hers. from those who the sick.

For, scientifically and practically, you have been taught and trained efficiently and well. but all that scientific knowledge and training would have been empty and barren and beneath your human dignity were it not for the sound Christian foundation which supported it all. During the pg;- iod of your training the atmos- phere of religion has pervaded its every phase and must have im- planted withln you a sound ap- praisal of real moral values. And what a shocking contrast there is in the world around you. "Vast hordes of men and wo. men have lost all apprecigtlqn g moral values and are no longer try to sell their country's secrets and safety to the enemies of our way of life. Capital and labor, the two great factors of our in- dustrial life, tear at each others throats while the nation's indus- tries stand still and the innocent and helpless suffer privution and want. The divine and eternal laws of God are openly flouted anti man's conduct in their violation is clothed with respectability by civil magistrates under man made legislation. The home. the very base of the nation, once the cen- tre of social life and the very protector and teacher of the young ls. today. but: a place to eat and sleep, and for many not even that. "Accost the child on the street at an hour far past his bed time and ask him, as I have done, why he is not home in bed, and you will be told. as I have been told, that there is nolone home to care for them, all are away at the show. Yes, parents away from home at the show while their young boys and girls roam about the streets unprotected and un- controlled. Is there any wonder that we have juvenile delinquents tn our midst? “But do we need to talk at length on those things which are so obvious to us all? You mus: face the world as you flnd it. but you have been taught moral val- ues and moral principles and your success or failure in life will tie- Pflmi upon your appreciation of and your adherence to them. I do not need to mince words to you for you know and the world knows that from motives of sel- fishness and motives of expediency crimes against nature and hum- anity are committed by men and of Mercy. But I charge you who have been taught and know moi-- al principles to stand ever by them and remember this: the person who kills n human being in what is smuxly called by the name of Mercy Killing, and m; person, be he or she a parent. doctor or nurse, who destroy! the life of an unborn child is just as much a murderer in the all-seeing eyes of God as is the foul and wicked thug who discharges his pistol shot into the brain of his victim and stoops to rob the bleeding corpse. In the discharge of your professional duties. make no compromise with unethical practices. but. in fashioning the structure of your professional ca- ieer, hew strictly to the line of righteous conduct. It will repay You richly in your peace with God and your respectability with all mankind."
