-- THE CANAflIAN STATESMAN, EOWMANVILE, ONTARIO EDITORIAL COMMENT Visits To Hospitalized Friends At the moment, none of our immed- fate family is in hospital suffering from any particular ailment s0 it is fairly safe to comment without offending on a program which is about to be iaunch- ed by the Ontaria Hospital Commis- so.It is a long overdue campaign against the hospitai's common enemy, the bad visitor, so don't be surprised if yau see some very weii prepared, hum- orous signs aiong the corridors when next you visît a sick friend. We are one of the worst offenders, but promise ta reform, especiaiiy after seeing some of the posters. One shows a maie visitor, one of the wandering kind, you've seen them. They neyer know the right room number, so try their luck ail down the corridor. This chappie opened the door on a young lady flot fuiiy ciothed. The caption reads: "Aiways knock before entering. The blushes you save may be your own!" Two other posters in the campaign deal with the visitor who can neyer find a handy chair, sa he sits on the bed, and the one who is no sooner in the room than the strain brings on a desire for a cigarette or, worse, a cigar, niuch ta the distress of ail patients con- cerned. This theme could be expanded ta include many additional messages, but, of course, mast of us will enjoy them and appiy them ta samebody else we know. Neyer ta us! There is a type of visitar we would Jike ta shoot. There is always one on hand when you are in hospitaI. Usually, this persan is a mournfuh-iooking and sounding creature, wearing the same face that is put on when visiting f un- eral pariors. She hasn't reaily came ta cheer you up, oniy ta let you know that you have something in common. Prob- abiy her mother or sister had the same thing you have, in every last detail, right down ta the time she died. At this point, you can have a good cry together, because you, the patient, wili end up consoling her whiie wondering just how long you have ta go. For some time we have adopted the attitude that hospital visits shouid be made frequentiy if you are a close relative, as short and with as littie con- versation as possible. For sorne reason, people yau haven't seen in years ai- though they probabiy ive just up the street, decide that because you, poor thing, are in hospital for maybe a week, they must do their duty and came ta see you. We've of ten feit that if mare duty visitors wouid stay home and write cards or something, patients in- variabiy wouid be reieased several days eariier. We could be wrong, but some visitors we've seen in action take more out of a patient than some oper- ations. When you are a hospital patient over a considerabie length of time, you do get lonesome and enjoy it when your friends drap in and bring you up- to-date on the latest gossip around town. But, as the Hospital Commis- sion's campaign says "Visits should be enjoyed-not endured". Another Wonderful Convention If this paper is below our usual standard, please don't be too critical, we've just returned from a convention of the Ontario Weekiy Newspapers hehd at Ottawa, and we are not quite back ta normal. It was a wonderful affair, but no place for one who is trying ta hold hard- fought gains made in the battie of the bulging waistiine. For more than a year we have gradualiy been knocking off a pound here, a pound there until recentiy the insurance company that charged us extra because of averweight, lif ted the rating and we felt ail the self- sacrifice had been worthwhile. It is a good thing their medical staff didn't watch us tuck away those rich, deiciaus, several course meals at that conven- tion. We have always enjoyed meeting cur newspaper coileagues during these day and night hassies. They tell us how they do things and we brag a ittie too. We cry on each others' shoulders about our bank overdrafts, swap technical data, hear some new stories, and isten ta fine speeches fi-rn these wonderful folks who sponsorf lunches and tell us how important we are. We also hear about new developments in the trade, see amazing pieces of equipment which someday we may own, and generahiy have a good time. This convention was somewhat unique in that there were more young people present than at any we have attended for years. It was the best indication we have seen that the weekly newspaper reaihy has a good future ir& Canada. The newcomers were intehhi.- gent, extremeiy sincere and weil.. educated. Several were university graduates or ahumni of Ryerson Insti- tute of Technoiogy where they have good courses in journalism, printing management and photography. They were most interested and happy in their work, having chosen this vocation because they feit it held promise and was a niche where they could play an integral part in building better com- Inunities. There was a Glengarry note throughout the entire event. Even the badges had tartans attached in honor of retiring President Eugene MacDon- aid of the Giengarry News. He was abiy assisted by other Scots in the Eastern Ontario region who must have devoted a tremendous amount of time preparing pragram details. They con- ducted the convention with exceilent despatch and few hitches. It was aur honor and privilege ta visit the head table on twa occasions, the first ta receive an behaif of aur staff one of the mast caveted awards, a beautiful new 35-mm camera, for winning the Best Front Page campe- tîtion; the second was ta introduce W. Ross Strike, Q.C., chairman of the Ontario Hydro Commission, who addressed the Saturday luncheon, and is, of course, a resident of Bowmanvilie. He received an exceptionaiiy warm weicome and gave us a great deal of information about Hydro's problems and plans. During the convention we devoted some spare time ta viewing the shopping mail along Sparks Street and found it truiy amazing. No cars are allowed, other than for deiveries, sa the custom- ers walk back and forth across the street in a most relaxed fashion. The merch- ants have set up gaily decorated side- walk tea raoms, playgrounds for yaungsters and generaliy have done a great deai ta create a holiday atmos- phere. Any we talked ta were most enthusiastic. One of the highiights of the con- ference was a visit ta Rideau Hall where the Governor General and Mrs. Vanier flot oniy gave a formai welcome ta each one in turn, but aiso joined with the group for conversation which was much mare than mast of us expected. They are wanderfuily graciaus and do great honor ta this high office. We must also say how pleased we were ta be guests at Pariiament Hill for huncheon in the Railway Committee Room. Our very kind hast was Dr. R. P. Vivian, M.P. for Durham who enter- tained us royaliy. The Prime Minister took time out of his busy scheduie ta speak ta the group for a few minutes as did other cabinet ministers. This event, of course, brought back pleasant memories and provided an oppartunity ta renew many friendships. A personai word of appreciation must also go ta those luncheon sponsors and the public relations folk who pro- vided many facilities during the occasion. On the opening evening, the Dominion Brewers' Association weicom- ed the group with a Seafood Party that Jhad everything, including music af the "Roaring Twenties". Others due for thanks are the E. B. Eddy Ca. who gave a reception, Ottawa Gas Company and the Canadian Bankers' Association wha pravided breakfast for those Eanly Birds who couid face it, Imperiai Oiù Ltd., who not oniy gave a dinner but also donated the camera award in the name of Frank Prendergast, longtime head of their Public Relations who retired recentiy, and the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario.
