Hospital Day Is Being . Observed Next Tuesday Tuesday, May 12, anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birthday $s National Hospital Day and Osh- awa General Hospital is holding *Open House' on that day to mark the occasion. Arrangements are being made conducted tours through the any time during the hours of two to four in the afternoon and secen to nine in the evening. 'The lic is cordially invited and esident, Ernest Marks, and mem of the Board and officials of the ital have expressed the that many people will avail themselves of this opportunity. Following the tours the Women's hospital will serve refreshments in the recreation room of the McLaughlin Hall and will be in aid of the uxiliary work. Incidentally, a tour of the hos- pital will reveal many interesting S] departments that are "behind the scenes," but that are just as im- portant in the care of the sick as room accommodation and nurs- ing service with which the casual hospital visitor is more familiar. All departments of the hospital are functioning efficiently, despite the crowded conditions under which they are obliged to operate. Of course, the need for a greatly en- larged building is apparent through ou the institution. In addition to the "Open House' Hospial Day will be marked by the distribution of a leaflet giving hospital facts and figures to stu- dents in the city's secondary schools, These booklets are entitl ed "Things to Know About Your Hospital." This leaflet has been prepared by the Ontario Hospital Association. A reference booklet for teachers entitled "Hospitals a Community Service' is also being distributed.

The new building replaces the old parish hall, which was erected in 1880 and for 72 years served for Sunday School and other parish AT ST. The recently completed Parish || activities. The exterior of the new hall, which is about 40 feet high, is of grey Credit - Valley sandstone, which it is attached through the choir vestry.

The government is studying the possibility of keeping some produc- tion lines operating and using the goods to meet Canada's mutual aid commitments to NATO Allies, Production Minister Howe told the Commons Wednesday. . This, he said, would both keep | a segment of industry alive now that the rearmament program is levelling off, and make a contribution to Western Europe's | defences, The minister's statement was made as he came under the annual fire from the opposition on his departmental estimates on their way through the House The criticism was directed mainly on the basis of the defence spending committee's report to the Commons this week after a long investigation. Majority and minor- ity reports of the committee split sharply on the efficiency of gov- ernment spending on defence. Opposition speakers contended the committee had been curtailed in what it could look into. They also renewed attacks on the way the defence production department --which does much buying for de- fence--handled the money. Trade, wheat and foreign al- fairs 0 came under the eye of the mmons Wednesday as it pushed through major subjects with a prorogation coming up-- the last before a general election now expected in August. The Commons voted unanim- . ously to give Prime Minister St, Laurent, going to Washington to- States administration of Canada's objections to U. 8. trade barriers. It was a rare expression of unan- imity, particularly because the voje came on a Progressive Con- servative motion which technically called for a vote of non-confidence in the government as an amend- ment to a government supply mo- tion. But Prime Minister St. Laur- ent accepted it, with a slight change, With the Commons pushing for prorogation--perhaps by Saturday --the usually long foreign affairs debate on External Affairs Minis- ter Pearson's annual estimates was curtailed.

It was St. Laurent's first state visit since Eisenhower became president 107 days ago. From the airport St. Laurent and Pearson were to hurry to the White House for a 2'%-hour con- ference with Eisenhower, Talks between the president and the prime minister will continue Fri- ay. It will be St. Laurent's first con- ference with the president since 4 Laurent resid was commandr of North Atlantic armies in 1951. At that time the atmosphere was congenial, Canadian offiicals expect that that atmosphere will continue to prevail, but Canada is seriously concerned with U.S. trade restric- tions and the threat of these curbs on the health and welfare of thé North Atlantic community.

In a triumphantly moving ceremony the peo- ple of St. George's dedicated a building which was the frui- tion of years of devoted and self-sacrificing effort. The service began with the pro- cessional hymn, "Rise up, O men God!" while the Venerable F. J. Sawers, MA, DD., Archdeacon of York, the Rural Dean, the Rev. A. G. Channen of Whitby, the Rev. Canon David M. Rose, regtor of the church, Churchwardens S. T. Hopkins and James Jackson and the robed choir led by organist and choirmaster Leon B. Nash moved to the flower-decked plat- form. After the Introit, *'O God Who in Thy Heavenly Hand", by Hsndel, sung by the choir, the rector gave the Invocation, led in the Lord's Prayer and responsive sentences which included the phrase: cept the Lord build the house, Their labor is but vain that build it. There followed the Parish Hall Prayer. ' Then the people's churchwarden, Mr. Jackson asked the Arcityieacon to declare the Memorial Hall open and dedicate it to the glory and Limited. service of God. Dr, Sawers did "Ex- ist oi [80 with these words: "In the faith of Jesus Christ we dedicate this building to the glory and service of Almighty God -- a memorial to the men of this parish who gave their lives in two World Wars -- a lace of Christian instruction and ellowship -- an instrument for the extension of the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: and we do declare the same open for these samé purposes. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

P. Taylor of |' Toronto, president of the executive council, Victorian Order of Nurses for Canada, said Wednesday that ways apd means must be found to extend VON work, both in cent- res where VON now operates and areas not served. The 55th annual meeting of the board of governors was held in Rideau Hall, home of the governor- general, Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey. The governor-general said "there isn't a person in this country who doesn't want to see VON service expanded." Mr. Taylor, re-elected president of the organization, said the prin- cipal limiting factors to developing the full potential of the order were inadequate finances and a shortage of trained nurses, Extension of home nursing would make a 'no- table contribution" to relieve a de- ficiency of hospital beds in many places. An expanded program of public information was needed to extend VON work and to raise the neces- sary financial support. National funds will 'be exhausted very shortly," he said, and accordingly '""'we must launch a financial ap- peal."

Labor Party Claims Gains In Municipal Elections LONDON (Reuters) -- The La- bor party today claimed a net gain of 77 seats thus far in Brit- ain's week of local elections. This gain, party officials said, has given Labor control of eight councils previously dominated by the Conservatives, At the same time, however, Labor admitted losing control of four other councils. At stake are seats on councils everywhere from the metropolitan boroughs of London to little Scot- tish villages. Main Interest is in today's voting which will decide 1,400 seats in the London area and 3,200 elsewhere in the country, The outcome has already been decided in 796 local councils with a total turnover of more than 4,000 seats. Local issues usually influence the voting, though many voters stick to their national political parties. Both parties and the Lib erals make rival claims for the support of hundreds of candidates who stand and are elected as ine dependents. passed by the House of Commons urging that the Canadian govern- | ment express indignant objection | to the U.S. curbs which hit at | Canadian dairy exports, Participating in the dedication of the recently constructed St. George's Memorial Parish Hall last night were (left to right) James Jackson, People's Church Warden; Rev.
