Living (Khiled in Action In Italy) lndustry Has A Story to Tell Iiidustryý lias a story to tell, but lias fail- ed so far to tell it to the rank and file of those, vwithout whose aid it could not'sur- vive. Everywliere the common people today are beiing assailed ivitli the propaganda of a militant political party aimed at the de- struction of "free enterprise." The CCP have a story to tell and they are certainly telling it. Ini our opinion, Industry gener- ally, is taking the barrage lying down. It may be that industrialists are so busy with post-wvar plans aimed at seduring the high- est level possible in peacetime eniployment that they have failed to encompass a dire threat to their very existence. We are of the opinion that Industry lias a very simple lune for counter-attack, and that is, simply to tell the truth. We suggest that the people be informed, through press and radio, the simple story of "free enterprise" in other words, freedom to engage in enterprise and freedom to operateit. We believe furtlier' that indus- try, lumped together, cannot properly pre- sent the true picture. Each individual busi- ness can best tell its own story. We can do no better to illustrate the pro- position than to state the case of the Me- Lauglilins of Oshawa. Starting in the Vil- lage of Enniskillen in Durham County, fresh from the farm. Robert MeLauglilin began making vehicles that farmers needed. He aimed at the best and made only the best. Dexnand forced him to expand. Soon his sons, George and Sam joined him. Today, from that small beginning, ha§~ grown the General Motors,_ une of the largest indus- tries in the Dominion, with Sam MeLaugli- lin as the dynamie President. Thus starting an enterprise, with freedom to expand, ever serving an insistent public, the McLaughlins have spread an increasmng - prosperity among thousands of workmen, many of whom have bouglit stock in the coin- pany, buit homes, educated families and secured the comforts of a rising standard of living. More, they have addecI inîmensly to employment in securing raw inaterials from farm, forest and mine, have improved their product and lowered the price down through the years. Their ixterests have not been primarily profits, rather the rendering of service that people want and demand. There is a like story to tell about almost every Canadian industry; and right now is the tiiue to tell it. 0 V _ Local Nurses Win Ilonors Durham County lias a long tradition of high successes attained by its sons and daugliters in the sphere of academics. The list of those îvho have won honors and seholarships in years gone by is long and dis- 'tinguished. Once again, Bowmanville and the immediate district take pride in the higli honors won by graduating nurses at the recent final examinations held at three separate hospitals. According to press rc- ports of graduation exercises we are pleased indeed to record the distinctions won by the following: Graduating wîth the degree of R.N. from the Oshawa General Hospital, and winners of two scholarships each, were Miss Patricia Pearce, daugliter of Mrs. and the late Harry R. Pearce, Newcastle, and Miss Jean Met- caif, daugliter of Norman and the late Mrs. Metcaif, Maple Grove. At Nicholis Hospi- tal, Peterboro, Miss Gertrude L. Dewell, R.N., daugliter of Mr. and Mrs. Af Dewell, of Bowmanville, wvon first honors and a prize for bedside nursing; and Miss Muriel K. Langmaid, daugliter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Langmaid, Solina, came second in higli- est marks in second year undergraduate exams. At Belleville General Hospital, Miss Marion Dudley, R.N., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Dudley, Bowmanville, was named valedictorian of the graduating class. Their names now honor the scroll of form- er local R.N. 's wlio also wvon lionors and went on to dîstinguished careers, some of whom are serving in the present war. Much of the success of these igraduates is due to the fine training received in the public and high schools of thc district. Dedicated to Èk the service ofimedical science in the cause of suffering humanity, their calling is of the Democracy ln Reverse Wlietlier or not the invasion, îvith its ae- eelerating insistence for reserves to fill the shiattered ranks of volunteers who have foug-lit and died and who lay %vounded, will settle tlic issue of the plébiscite, remains to be seeni. It will be recalled that Prime Minister King stated, and later repeated lus stand, thiat so long as lie lîeaded the govern- ment of Canada. there would be no conscrip- tion for overseas service. So far lie lias maintained that: very position in spite of the faet that bill No. 80 freed lis hands. Now that a provincial election is to lie called in Quebec, lie is reminded of lis promise by the Liberal government soon to seek re-eleetion. Recently the Quebec legislature voted 56 to 4 against any conscription for overseas. And the Liberal Premier, Godbout, speak- ing at lis nomination meeting said: "If we liad not had Mr. King at the head of gov- ernment we would have had conscription for overseas and in its wake, civil war. Mr. King personally resisted aIl attempts to im- pose tliis form of service. Prime Minister King lias spared us froin conscription, even after the plebiscite. We shaîl neyer have conscription for overseas if we keep Mr. King in power." Tlîus notice is served that Mr. Kingy must stick to lis promise and back the minority voice of this country against the overwlielm- ing voice of the great majority. This clearly is democracy in reverse. The majority no longer rules because onîe nan, " pcrsonally resisted ail attempts" etc. The accolade of Mr. Godbout smacks of Feudalism, destiny ini the liands of one man. And preying on the Prime Minister 's traditional abliorrence of bloodshed, comes the tlîreat of civil war. Well the issue is there; it is plainly stated for consideration of those fathers and mo- thers who have volunteer sons and daugliters overseas amidst the sceîîes of blood and carnage. Quietly, let tlîem assess this chal- lenge. There secins no more to be said at the moment. - V _ Farm Service Force. During the past few seasons there lias been au insistent eall for studeîîts to corne forward and lielp on the farm front. duriîîg summer holîdays, to save erops and tlîus roll up food supplies both for the home and the fighting fronts. The response to the ap- peal has been generally commendable. Boys and girls by the thousands, iii most cases un- accustoîned to the liard toil of farm life. have pitched in mnfully and have won the lîigh praise of those ini autliority. This season the eall is miore insistent than ever and young people wlio formerly failed to answer the eall are asked to step forward and help. Ini this issue appears an official appeal for lielp iii the nature of an advertisement, sponsored by the Dominion-Provincial Comn- mittee on Farm .Labor. Its slogan is "Piteli in For Peace" and it calîs attention to its broadcast "Help Wanted,' ecd Friday at 7.30 p.m., ov'er CBC. The Dominion and Provinceial goveriîments jointly raise their voîces in an appeal to the youtli of the land to back up the efforts of their senior bro- thers and sisters fightiîîg abroad. The plan is administercd under Provincial autliority and particulars in the advertisement tel how and wliere to apply for enrolîment. Canmps are established, bof h for boys and girls, at varions points ini tbe Provinîce, ahl under approved supervision, and with *the best of living conditions, with recreation and at stanîdard rates of pay. There can scarcely be conceived a fîner form of lîealthfnl holi- day and money thus earned will greatly as- sist in continning academie studies' dnring the remainder ofC the year. But the para- mount consideration is the help accordcd in the war effort. Those who cannot enroîl for camps are asked to help nearer home on local farms. These too are inspected and approv- ed by the Committee 's representative to as- sure the best of living conditions and stand- ard pay. There is little doubt that this imn- perative national eaul to duty will be accept- ed by all who can make themselves ava il- able. _V Hansard Debate On Catile It was beef cattle day in the House of Coxumons on May 23. Hon. J. G. Gardiner was piloting through lis estimates and wvas challengcd by John Blackmore, M.P., Leth- bridge, a former sclîool teacher, who con- tcnded the ranchers iii lis constitnency had lost money on their cattle owing to govern- ment policy or lack of govcrnmcnt policy. you have cleaper grass from the govera- ment." Which was some claim in view of the fc that nature must lave had something to do with it, but J. G. gives the kudos to the governmeiit. Mr. Gardiner left Saturday for the West f0 take part in the Saskatchewan elections with the intimation that lis further esti- mates would have to wait until lis return, win, lose or draw.

Beaton, Oshawa, address- ed to S. R. James. Bowmanville, Clairman of the Lions Club, Blood Donor Committee, states that all blood donor clinics are to le closed during thc month of July. The reason stated is that it is found necessary to increase fthc capacity of the Connaught Labor- atonies in Toronto and reorganize fthc staff to take care of greatly expanded demands now that the invasion is on in Europe. Meantime, for the nemainder of June, the public is asked to con- tribut e to the limit and fliose who have already volunteened are ne- quesfed to honor their calîs and not ask for deferments. New donors for the balance of the month are urgently needed. Thc local Chairman, Mn. James, is asked to urge these conottra- fions upon the public inuiiediate- Iy in view of the lay off during July. The blood donor service us under the auspices of the Cana- dian Red Cross Society. Blood plasma is vitally needed for the wounded in the armed services. Current appeals to those who have not so far offered to contri- but e carry these slogans: "If you can't fîll their shoes, . . . fil thein veins" and "When you see ned .. sec the Red Cross." Literally fhousands of lives of the desper- afely wounded are savcd througli infusion of life saving blood plasma. Further information may be had from Alex McGregor or S. R. James.
