JMS dtr Back to Common Sense In Training For Nurses lion. Russel T. Kelley, Minister of Health for Oniario, gets right back to common sense in his intention to take immediate steps to over- corne.the present shortage of qualified nurses ini this province. Speaking at the opening of a riew, modern hospital at Wingham last week lae announced that the right and privilege of graduating student nurses would be returned to qualified hospitals in. centres that lie outside the cities. This policy follows the steps taken by his predecessor, Dr. R. P. Vivian, member for Durham, who initiated plans for improve- ment of standards in many of the smaller hospitals. In making his announcement, Mr. Kelley noted that the former administration scrapped these privileges among smaller hos- pitals several years ago. It resulted in the pre- sent shortage of qualified nurses. Mr. Kelley pointed out that in the hospitals of the smaller centres, student nurses received even a more general training than in cities where specialization is the general practice. He insisted that doctors in the smaller hospitals were highly competent to provide the necessary training. Under the former system the setup prevented many from taking up the profession ,due to removal from their home districts to cities where higher living costs together with -virtually no student income, presented a fin- ancial sacrifice that discour4ged enrolment. The new scheme will permit students to live at home ;and in a social environment which will lighten the financial burden and permit relaxation fromn arduous duties. This news is received in this community with much satisfaction since Bowmanville Hos- pital was one from which the right to graduate nurses was abrogated. Many young ladies have become fully qualified here without the prîv- ilege of attaining the coveted R.N. They have carried on rendering splendid services under this handicap which has prevented employment ini exclusively accredited institutions. Now they can rightfully dlaimn the recognition which they have earned. The Statesman is heartily in ac- cord with the decision of Hon. Russell Kelley, a wide awake businessman whose experience as an advertising executive has shown his abil- ..ty to view things from a practical standpoint. Socialist Government Scorçd For Failure in Palestine Issue ?Harsard reports of proceedings in the 1Eritish House of Commons recently reviewed by the editor of The Statesman, shed m uch light on the present conflict in Palestine. Policy of the British socîalist government came under scathing attack by Winston Churchill, who, speaking from vast experience and exact know- ledge gave an insight into the controversy that is worthy of much greater notice than the space at our disposal at the moment. Excluding persecuted Jews from a land nomina ted as ies can take your life, your' property, your home, your liberty, even breath itself. But only your friends can inflict upon you the last refinement of cruelty, of raîsing hopes every morning which they disappoint every night." This is the in- vidious position in which Jews find them-selves today and which they rightfully resent after having fought so valiantly with the allies now holding a mandate over their destiny in their national home and the right to exclude them as immigrants to the wide lands of free de- niocracies. The public has too littie knoivledge on this question. It will be settled only under the force of a wîdely awakened public con- science. Fire Preventiofl-A Year-Round Job For Every Individual lf ever there was need for a Fire Prevention ,Teek, that necessity has been amply demon- :trtd by the trend -of f ire losses, in both life -and property, which have occurred during the *Ipast year. It is quite true that Fire Prevention Is a year round job, but the customi of observing, a special week to impress upon the public the laeceSsity of preventing fires has developed over a period of twenty-five years and bas become a national tradition. And well it might be! The loss of 391 lives and $42,000,000 property damage by f ire in 1945 should stir every Canadian out of a com- placency which threatens our national economy. Appeals to individuals to prevent fires on a stictly abstract basis seem to have had little effect. More often it is only when a peson's pocket-book is affected that he begins to sit up and take notice. It is obvious themefore that, unless the present trend of inceasing fires losses can be checked, fire insurance companues will have no other alternative than to increase their rates. In 1921, the average rate per $100 of pro- perty against fire was $1.11 and, in 1944, it was 67 cents. In the face of rising fire losses, it is a question how long the insurance companies wihl be able to operate successfully on these low rates. And there is no doubt but that an incmeasp in rates will have an effect on the cost of living, for modemn commerce has been devehoped upon the abilitý to insure against unforeseen losses and the cost of insurance enters into everything we buy. Every Canadian citizen will'therefome be wîse if he takes into consideration th.e fact that he wihl eventually have to pay for his own carelessness. He should resolve that the e- sponsibility for such an increase in the cost of living shaîl not be his. He can do this by being caeful about the disposition of his cig- arettes and matches, bý seeing that the heating equipment in his home is in a safe condition, by not using flammable liquids like kerosene to start the kitchen fire or gasoline for cleaning or other use in the home. By these and many other means, he can avoid the dangers of fire not only to himself and his own family, but also to his neighbour and bis neighbour's family. What is a Job? General Motors Tells It A 15-page pocket size bookiet titled "What is a Job?" is the latest, highly informative piece of literature to come to the editor for some time. It is issued by T. R. Elliott, DiVector, Public Relations, General Motors of -Canada, Oshawa, and it sets out in graphic form the components back of the individual jobs in an industrial organization. The forewomd observes that General Motors receives hundreds of let- ters asking for information on many phases of employment and production and the bookiet was conceived to meet their enquiries. This is precisely in line with what The Statesman has long advocated: that industry has a duty to inform the public of its inside story, a matter long neghected. Where do jobs come from? The booklet points out that jobs come through sales and sales equire customers. A product, born of an idea must be fashioned to meet a demand at a price the public is willirg to pay. This price enables the producer to buy raw materials, maintain a factory, meet a payrohl, leave a margin to make it worthwhihe for the public, inchuding employees to risk savings to sustain and enharge the business and to create a e- serve for contingencies. The point is made that capital isn't just money. The major part of General Motors capital is not dollars but "lard and buildings, machinery, materials," the sum ot investors' savings. Back of every job in Genemal Motors is a $6,000 investment, the major part, factories, tools, equipment and materials to make the job possible, plus an equally large investment by concemns supphying materials. And back of every job is supervision, management, research, men trained to determine what to produce, how to produce and when to produce it. The dore- lated summation is, "A customer, plus a -pro- duct, plus management, plus $6,000 capital which adds up to one General Motors job." We suggest that everyone interested in this concise information car get this booklet by writing the Public Relations Dept., General Motors, Oshawa. Progressive Conservatives Seize Opportunity for Leadership Folowing adjournment of the House of Commons, the Progressive Conservative Party bas taken on a refreshing bid for public approval by taking a bold line against the growing ten- dency of state control or diluted socialism that has marked the course of the Liberal govern- ment since the hast election. The official oppos- ition flayed this tendency consistently in the House and its leaders now carry on the fight from public platforms. In a recent address the national leader of the party, Hon. John Bracken asserted: "State control under the Liberah govenment is growing in every wahk of ife. We approach communism, whether you caîl it that or socialism or liberahism under this regime. Socialism can provide the bare necess- ites of ife - so car a prison camp." Projectirg the same thought, J. M. Mac- donrehi, National Chairman of the paty, wamned against the socialist trend of the present gov- enment and suggested: "It is easy for business people to get into a state of mind where tkey hesitate to face the keen winds of competition, finding the soft winds of government aid in various forms, easier and more comforting and sometimes more profitable." But hoss of ecor- omic freedom is the ertering wedge to loss of political freedom. Businessmen become pol- itically illitemate through corcertratirg on per- sonal interests and hence poor fighters in defence of freedom which they acchaim but may lose through îractivity or indifference. This indictment is timehy ardright to the point. For some years past The Statesman has taken an editoria1 lire that "Industry Has a Stomy to Tell" in which we have insisted the public should be informed of the great part played by businessmen in preserving the de- mocmacy and the competitior which are key- notes of freedom. The challenge has been too much ignred. Meantime industrial strife has giver opportunity for socialist planners to cul- tivate g fertile field which has led to competition by the present Liberal governmert.

St. Paul's 112 Anniversary Markedby Spe1a Services Observing the 1l2th Anniver- sary of the founding of St. Paul's United Church, Sunday, Oecober 6, 1946, the resident Minister, Rev. G. Cameron Quigley, had charge of the services. Preaching both momning and evening, guest min- ister Rev. Victor T. Mooney, B.A., D.D., Toronto, Treasurer of the United Church of Canada, deliv- ered eloquent and inspirational messages whîch featured the very special anthems, hymns and solos arranged for this notable mile- stone in the history of the church. Trinity congregation were guests at the evening services. At the morning service Dr. Mooney expressed pleasure in having the opportunity to preach at St. Paul's and feit much at a loss in not having a congregation of his own. His subject, The Kingdom of God, came from St. Mark's lst Chapter, "And Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdomn of God."~ His thought was that Jesus spent his entire life preaching the Kingdom of God, hence as good Christians we were committed as builders in this Kingdom. We ap- pear too prone today to think in terms of ourselves; we forget we have just flnished a bitter strug- gle as Christians against Pagans and need renewed faith to restore the Kingdom of God. Dr. Mooney's evening sermon was based upon verse 6, Jeremiah 18, "Behold as the dlay in the pot- ter's' hand, so are ye in mine hand.'" The thought; "God tries to mould and shape everyone for his tasks but too many live just for the day. We must realize we are here for a purpose, to progmess with tolerance and faith in the great service of the Kingdom of God. In closing Dr. Mooney urg- ed support for missionary funds to carry on the work abroad.
