dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E.,, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, January 30, 1960 College Could Improve Nurses Status, Supply Two ideas that came out of a con- ference held last week under the spon- sorship of the Ontario Department of Health to consider the nursing shortage in this province, merit some serious thought. The one was that a College of Nurses, patterned after the College of Physicians and Surgeons, should be established un- der government charter to govern the standard of nursing schools in Ontario, the minimum facilities and the educa- tional requirements of the students. The other was that an Ontario Nurs- ing School Foundation be set up to assist with the financing of nursing edu- cation through scholarships, bursaries and grants. The phenomenal advance of medical science in the past few years has made it escential that those associated with it be more highly trained than ever. In medicine there has been a trend toward specialization. If there is any virtue in this surely there must be a similar virtue in enabling those in the nursing profes- sion to get maximum opportunity to use the specialized 'skill they receive through training. At the same time, while these advan- ces have been made in medical science, there has been a corresponding growth in the population of Canada, and parti- cularly in Ontario. This has, in turn, made necessary a large number of new hospitals or additions to existing ones and a need for more nurses to staff them and to train for positions both in hospitals and elsewhere in the com- munity. Nurses and those in training have not been able to look after all the jobs formerly attended to by nurses and trainees, and there has developed within most hospitals a new group known as nurses' aides. The jobs, while important, do not require the same degree of skill as a fully trained nurse, nor the same standard of education to qualify. Yet that has not overcome the probe lem altogether. With more hospitals in existence, and more people tending to use them as a result of a wider use of insurance schemes and now the govern- ment -sponsored hospitalization plan, there has risen, in some hospitals, at least, a shortage of the more highly trained nursing sisters. It was at such a situation that the discussions at last week's conference were aimed. The nursing profession has increased steadily in prestige over the years. With careful selection and training we can see the time when nurses may take even more responsibility in the strictly medical field than they now have. Dr. Matthew Dymond, Ontario's Min- ister of Health, has already welcomed the suggestion of a nursing college. He has pointed out that the College of Physicians and Surgeons is one of the main reasons the medical profession has such a high standing in Ontario today. Handwriting's Revival There's a move afoot to give a hand to the most neglected of the three R's- writing. In both the United States and Britain, a group of enthusiasts is trying to revive interest and skill in calligraphy. Good penmanship 'was once considered a social grace, but it has declined in the era of typewriters, telegrams and tele- phones. Purists warn that Anglo-Ame- rican handwriting is taking on the in- scrutable character of cuneiform or Zulu sand writing. To improve the sad state of hand- writing, a classic form of it is now being taught at Eton, Winchester, and Harrow, three of England's top prep schools, the National Geographic Society says. This is the chancery, or italic, hand. As its name suggests, the style is the basis for the italic type used by printers. Italic writing is enjoying a general revival in England. An exhibit collected by London's Society of Italic Hand- writing has been touring the United States for more than two years. American pen manufacturers formed the Handwriting Foundation in Washington, D.C, to promote better penmanship and provide instruction for those who request it. Encouragingly, the nonprofit organization is receiving thou- sands of appeals from schools, individu- als, and businesses. have Some American business firms are conducting handwriting classes for em- ployees. Vast sums are lost each year from carelessly scribbled bills, orders, tickets, and checks. These result inaccurate charges and faulty services that tend to ruffle the customers. The art of handwriting has had its downs before, but among many genera- tions of men it has commanded the greatest respect. Anyone who could write at all was held in high honor by ancients. Even in the 16th century penmanship was not a common accomplishment. Henry VIII couldn't write, and he took pains to see that his children learn- ed. Elizabeth became a superb pen- woman, but the handwriting of one of her most famous subjects, Shakespeare, could hardly have been worse. Traditionally monks have had more time to write than anyone else, and they've done the best job of it. Perhaps the finest of all calligraphic styles was developed' by an English monk named Alcuin at the instance of Charlemagne (A.D. 742-814). The great emperor of the West, a student of languages and the arts, ordered a general revision of the calligraphy of religious texts. Alcuin developed a simple, legible, handsome style that survived until the 13th cen- tury. in Police And The Press Southwestern Ontario police officers have been attending a seminar at Lon- don. The purpose of the seminar was to hear of advances made in police work, exchanges as to methods employed in the complex duties of maintaining law and order, and in public relations. During one session the officers were told by John Gore, managing editor of The Oshyoroa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

The newspaperman can interpret the policeman to the public." This is a relationship between the press and the police which not always clearly understood by the public. If a policeman, doing his duty, arrests someone for a misdemeanor or a felony, it becomes the newspaper's duty to re- port the facts to the public. It is not the policeman's job to determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant, Neither is it the newspaper's duty. is But in reporting the news, the public learns that its policemen are doing their duty; that there is no hiding of the fasts; that justice is being done.

In the first day of debate on the throne speech, Mrs. Jean Cas- selman delivered her maiden speech. The new MP for Gren- ville-Dundas, the attractive 39- year-old daughter of the dean of the House, Hon. Earl Rowe, is also the widow of a former MP, the late Arza Casselman of Pres- cott Minimizing the customary glor- ification of the scenic beauties and bountiful resources of a maiden - speaker's riding, Mrs. Casselman earned applause by a well-considered and constructive speech. When Prime Minister Diefenbaker, subsequently paving tribute to her maiden effort, declared that "Her ability and charm have added much to the House of Commons." he was, for the only time that evening, ap- plauded whole-heartedly by MPs from every party. NEW MINISTER WINS SPURS The very first question on leaders' day was fired by that experienced parliamentarian Hon. L. Chevrier, former minister of transport, at one of the rawest recruits in the cabinet, Hon. David Walker, who was appointed minister of public works only af- ter the last session of Parliament. Mr. Chevrier attempted to show that the government was being needlessly extravagant in spend- ing $3,200,000 to build a new hop- per dredge to keep the naviga- tion channels at the mouth of B.C.'s Fraser River open. Mr. Walker gave a lucid and full explanation of the govern- ment's plans: Mr, Chevrier re- sorted to that old parliamentary dodge, the supplementary ques- tion; but this too Mr. Walker an- swered fully 'and convincingly. Mr. Chevrier then squared up for the knock-out blow with a second supplentary: Did the minister not think that it was wasteful and extravagant to have 15 cabins built on a mere dredge when the crew would mostly live on shore? Mr. Walker knew his dredge and dredged the bounce out of Mr, Chevrier with his ready reply: The government plans to save time and expense by keeping two shifts of men aboard, one working and one off duty. Hence the cab- ins will be a source of great econ- omy and efficiency: not wasteful and extravagant as Mr. Chevrier suggested. Walker beat Chevrier by a tko in that bout GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Canadians Take Cheerful Views BY CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION What will have happened to world tensions in twenty years' time ? Almost half the Canadian people think that for one thing, Russia and the West will be liv- ing peaceably together. This is a very high ratio of optimism com- pared to other nations. Will manufacture of the H- Bomb and others like it have stopped by 1980 ? Again Canadi- ans are highly optimistic, com- pared to many other countries, with 44 in a hundred. believing this will happen. This country is second only to the U.S., in the proportion 'of adults who look for the collapse of Communism in the next twenty years, with about one in four people in both nations believing the future holds this fate. In line with the general optim- ism across Canada previously re- ported by the. Poll, only 13 per cent oi the people look for atomic warfare between Russia and the States by 1980. About seven in ten think it won't have happened. In ten of the twenty - one countries in which affiliated Gal- lup Polls report public opinion on a regular round-the-world basis, interviewers asked the adult pop- ulation a series of questions to learn what people expect in the next two decadtes. For today's series, national cross-sections in ten nations were shown a list of possibilities and asked: "Looking ahead to 1980 that is 20 years' time, which of these things do you think will have happened by then ?" Columns below show the pro- portion of people who said "Yes" to the four possibilities listed, in Canada, the UK. then US, France and Germany.

Will we be working three days a week ? The announcement Prime Minister Diefenbaker pending retirement of the chair- by of the im- man of the chiefs of staff com- mittee, Gen. Charles Foulkes, fi nally confirms a move rumored for several years. It has touched off a spate of speculation about his likely successor as the top brass-hat Guessers most often choose a senior airman or sailor to suc- ceed soldier Foulkes. The names of Vice-Admiral Harry DeWolf, now chief of the naval staff; of Air Marshal Hugh Campbell, his opposite number; and of Air Marshal C. R. Slemon, now dep- uty commander of the North American air defence - system (NORAD), are widely suggested. But all these are less highly regarded in military circles than a native of Kamloops, B.C., 51- year-old Air Marshal Frank Miller who, after graduating from University of Alberta, had a long and outstanding air force career. He commanded the training school at Summerside early in the war; then held commands in Europe. Later he made signifi cant contributions to Canada-U.S. military relations on the joint de- fence board; served as vice-chief of our air staff; as vice air deputy commander of the NATO forces in Europe; and in 1955 was ap- pointed deputy - minister of de- fence here, where he still serves. Frank Miller is the professionals' tip to succeed Gen. Foulkes. The retirement of our top sailor Admiral DeWolf, is expected soon as he nears his 57th birthday. This will lead to a big reshuffle at and near the top. His likely svecessor is his present vice-chief of staff, 53-year-old Rear Ad- miral E. P. Tisdall, who was brought up at Duncan, B.C. Oak- ville's 54-year-old Rear Admiral H. F. Pullen, now flag officer commanding the Atlantic coast, ' might move up to be vice-chief: while his successor might be Rear Admiral H. S. Rayner, the young (49 years) native of Clin- ton. Ont., who won many decor- ations in the Second World War and is viewed as the '"'crown prince" certaih to be top brass himself one day. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Miss B. E, Harris, who had served two years 'overseas as a nurse, was appointed Oshawa Public Health nurse and Miss E. Seibling, a graduate nurse of the 1919 class at the Oshawa Hospi- tal, was appointed public school nurse. Township council appointed Arthur E. Grass to East Whitby Township Board of Health. Oshawa branch of the Loyal Sons of Temperance celebrated the 70th annivérsary of the or- ganization with a banquet at Welsh's Parlors. South Oshawa Methodist Church replaced the chairs which had been in use for five years, with new oak pews. W. E. N. Sinclair, MPP, suc- ceeded Job White as president of South Ontario Agricultural Socie- ty East Whitby council passed a bylaw to appoint and remuner- ate a township assessor. J. Mec Gregor received the appoint- ment. Mrs. H. E. Morphy reported at the annual meeting that the La- dies' Auxiliary of the Oshawa Hospital raised $2701 during 1919. Sunday School attendance at Athol St., Christian Workers' Church had grown from a mem- bership of 10 to 75 in four years. M. J. Macklem, RCAF pilot, gave an illustrated lecture on In- dia and the Orient in aid of the Great War Veterans' Association during his brief stay in Oshawa. Influenza had again madé its appearance in Oshawa with a re. ported five cases of a mild type. Col. G. R. Pearkes, VC, late commander of the 116th Ontario County Battalion, was the guest of Major and Mrs. A. F. Hind during a short visit to Oshawa, UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Cyprus Pact Arguments Not Considered Serious ' By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- In spite of the breakdown of the London confer- ence on the constitution for Cyp- rus, and the postponement until March 19 of the date on which the island will begin its indepen- dent history there is little pessi- mism in official circles regarding the eventual result of the nego- tiations. 'One thing which has stood out in the talks between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders and Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, has been the fact that none of the parties showed the slightest desire to back out of the agreement which was reached in London a vear ago The disagreements have arisen over details which were not writ ten into the original agreement and which it is now realized, a trifle late, should have been included Crux of the dispute seems to be the interpretation placed by the Greek Cypriot leader, Arch. bishop Makarios, as to what con- stitutes a military base. The size to which he wishes to limit Brit- ish bases in Cyprus is far below military base reanirements, al- though they might be sufficient for merely a military garrison, The British parties in the confer- ence have been trying to drum that into the heads of the Cypriots but with little success far.

However, since all parties are eager to find a suitable solution, and get on with the job of estab- lishing an independent Cyprus, foreign office circles are quite optimistic about the eventual out- come of the further talks with the Cyprus leaders who are staying in London for the present. TOUGH TASK AHEAD Mr. lan Macleod, colonial sec. retary, faces a much harder task than does Mr. Selwyn Lloyd in trying to work out,. in another conference, a satisfactory consti- tution for the East African colony of Kenya. This conference is still sitting in London and Mr. Mac- leod's task is to sort out the con- flicting opinions of the three groups represented at its sessions. The three groups have entirely different ideas as to what should be done in Kenya. The United party group, led by Group Capt- ain Briggs, is anxious to have Kenya retained under the control of the Colonial office. It does not want any change in the present status, and in that respect it is quite 'out of tune with the signs of the times. Michael' Blundell is leading a middle-of-the-road Eur- opean's party, which wants Kenya to have a multi-racial govern- ment, with qualified voting and eventually, independence within the Commonwealth. Tom Myoba, leader of the all-African group, is looked upon as a young man in a hurry. He wants self-govern- ment at once, on the basis of one man, one vote, with full indepen- dence within three years, RUSH WOULD BE FATAL There can be no doubt that Kenya, like other African territor- ies, will in time attain full inde- pendence. But the view here is that to rush into this would be a fatal step. After seven years of strife, ter. rorism and hatred, Kenya needs time to settle down before uni- versal suffrage can be instituted with. safety Kenya has five million black Africans to 50,000 whites. What- ever settlement is reached must do justice to both sections of the population. That is being recog- nized in the conference discus- sions and there is sound ground for expecting a compromfse that will be fair and workable, Britain may be faced with a nation-wide railway strike within the next three weeks if the National Union of Railwaymen do not receive a favorable answer to their claim for increased wages within that time. In the lead in this direction is the 22,000 strong Manchester Council of the Union. It has re- jected the proposals for a one-day token strike of all railway work- ers on Feb. 1, but it has called the national executive to call a complete shutdown of the whole British railway system if some wage concessions are not forth- coming. Failing a national strike, the Manchester district railwaymen are prepared to go out on strike on their own. Sidney Green, general secretary of the Nur, is opposed to strike action while negotiations are go- ing on, but the Manchester div- ision vote reflects the frustration and pent-up feelings of the 360, 060 members of his union, BAD FOR AUSTRALIA Australia is now taking the place in the news which used to belong to Canada, so far as stories of disgruntled immigrants are concerned. For the second time in three months, the liner Orion has arrived at London with 300 people on board who had migrated to Australia and return. ed home with sad stories of con. ditions there. They give varied reasons for their discontent--such as the housing shortage, lack of security, fewer social services and the high cost of living. They had not found Australia the para- dise they had expected it to be. W. J. Kinloch Anderson, kilt- making expert of Edinburgh, has receive a nice windfall in busi. ness because of the amalgamation by the Canadian defence depart- ment of the Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Highlanders. The new regi- ment, know as the Nova Scotia Highlanders, has decided to adopt a new tartan, that of the Mac- donald Clan, in place of the separate tartans formerly used. Mr. Anderson's firm has just received an order from Canada for 400 Macdonald tartan kilts fo set the ne ment off in its united role. Chartered 135 SIMCOE ST. NORTH eo LICENSED ® PARTNERS eo HON. J.

Mcl ii A Report to the People The Oshawa GENERAL HOSPITAL Is Your Own Hospital Visitors to Oshawa General Hospital may notice, near the admitting desk, a door marked "emergency". The word connotes frantic activity, but all the visitor will see is a nurse, or perhaps a doctor, walking purposefully through the door. Often, everything is quiet behind the door, with two or three nurses at their station, waiting for And trouble invariable come. It might be a child who swallowed some- thing he shouldn't. It might be a traffic accident. Whatever the case, the men and women of this department daily take part in dramas the average person would never see other than on a television screen. There is little glamour to their work, although they are the front line of the hospital. They wage a constant war against their two greatest enemies A careless driver swerces, and smashes into a family car. Within minutes, the people injured in the accident are on stretchers in the emergency depart- ment. Here, the unthinking driver and the child he maimed are the same. They both need help urgently. There is no time to think of the right and the wrong of the case. There are two lives to be saved. The emergency operating-room team swings into action. Frequently, this room is nothing like the chromium and crisp linen picture most people have of operating theatres. The patients are brought in, often bloodied and wearing muddy clothes. The scene is more like a military field hospital. The patients are treated for their most obvious injuries. Bleeding is stopped, and wounds cleaned. The doctors and nurses call on their years of education as they watch carefully for minute symptoms which might mean internal injuries, or brain injuries. They guard the patient against shock. The team is prepared to perform major surgery, as frequently amputa- tions are performed here, when it becomes obvious that the patient must sacrifice a limb to save his life Outside the door marked emergency' everything is still quiet. After a while, a nurse comes out, and walks across the hall to the admitting desk. She gives the names and other particulars of the emergency patients to the nurse on duty, then returns to her post to wait. She never has to wait long. There are always plenty of emergency patients. This is a corner of the hospital seen by few, but appreciated in full by those who know it. The accident victim knows that he owes his life to the people in emergency, and his frantic relatives will never forget the tired doctor who comes through the door marked "emergency" to say, "He's going Honorary President--Col.
