McTAVISH & SONS Flesherton, Ont When you wire your farm (or the firsf time, make sure that the job is designed to take care of present and Future needs. That is the economical way . . . the only way to get your full money's worth and to profit as you should from Hydro service. Electric wiring, like o horse, can be efficient and safe only when adequate for the heaviest load it may have to carry. The safe way is to have wiring done by a com- petent electrician. fHe may advise a little extra first- cost for heavier wire and more outlets and switches but he will save you time, trouble and the expense of re-wiring loter on. No matter what appliances and motors you start with, you will be wanting to add more electrical money-savers, work-savers and conveniences as time goes on. You can do that, if you start right with adequate wiring. Your Hydro Rural Superintendent will gladly advise you as to good general wiring practice. His advice and a competent electrical contractor to do the job will be your best assurance of satisfaction. *.:..T*IE ..HYDRO - ELECTRIC ' MAXWELL GIRL GRADUATES AT •163th Graduation af G. and M. Hos- pital , Threateninjf skies gave way to hright sunshine for the forty-fifth Hrraduation exercises of the General and Marine Hospital, Collingwood, lielil on the lawn of the Ann Long Nurses Home, Thursday, June 14th. Although it was feared that the ceremonies would have to moved in- doors, the weather n^an h^ld off un- til the programme was practically completed. The exercises were pre- sided over by Mr. John L. Smart, chaiKnan of the Board of Trustees, who extended a cordial welcome to the relatives and friends of the gra- duates. Equally as impressive as on form- er occasions was the march of nurs- es from the hospital to the platform headed by the members of the staff and followed by the student body and the graduating nursea carrying bouquets of deep red roses. Mrs. N. D. Boadway presided at the piano for the entrance march. The invo- cation was said by Rev. A. S. Kerr, M. A., of Trinity United Church. On behalf of the citizens of the town, Mayor T. \V. Scrannage spoke a word of congratulations to the gra- duates. He expressed the opinion that Collingwood had just reason to be proud of its hospital and the fine services which is being rendered to the community. Speaking for the medical staff Capt. Douglas A. Harvie, recently returned from overseas service, ex- tended congratulations and good wishes to the graduates. He ex- pressed his pleasure iji finding the hospital carrying on in its best tra- dition.. "There are changes'", he said and the hospital building itself has been mfOdernized extensively. How- ever it is not the building itself has gives a hospital its character but the people who worked in it and for it and have given something of from h^re, you will always be a part themselves to it. Wherever you go of this hosipital and already each of you has given her bit to its tradi- tion. This is the first hospital func- tion I have attended without the late Dr. Simpson here in person, but I feel sure that the friendly influence of his personality will always be with us on thes« occasions." Con- cluding he wished for the p-radoiates health, happiness, and the' odd spot of luck. Always the highlight of such a function, the presentation of pins, diplomas and awards was an impor- tant feature. Gifts from the medical st£^ were presented to the girls by Master Donald McKav and Master Richard Elliott. Diplomas were given by Mr. Smart and pins fasten- ed on the graduates' bibs by Mrs. D. A. Harvie, chairman of the House Committee. Mr. Smart and Mrs. Harvie added their congratulations to each young lady. For the nurs- es alumnae of the hospital, Mrs. Austin Brown presented each grad- uate with a Rift while the prize from the Board of Trustees for General Proficiency was given to Miss Shir- lev Edwards by Mrs. F. E. Courtice. This part of the afternoons pro- gramme was climaxed with the gra- duatos. Misses Shirley Ethel Ed- wards of Beaverton, Dorothy Ethel- kn Fee of Ravenna, >Iabcl Velma Kenwick of Maxwell, Bess'c Jear. McKinlay of Ravenna, and Marjorie Melissa Page of Fenwick, ropeating the Florence Nightingale pledge. Dr. F. W. Routley, secretary of fhe Ontario Hosipital Association was to have been the guest speaker, but circumstances at the last mom- ent prevented him from attending. However he was sTiccessful in ob- taining Miss Gladys Sharpe, super- intendant of the Nuress Training School of Toronto Western Hospital to come in his place. Miss Shai^pe, who was introduced by Mr. F. E. Courtice, is a graduate of Toronto Western Hosipital and from the school of Nursing at McGill Univer- sity. Later she took ])ost-graduate work in the British Isjes and has gained recognition as one of Cana- da's most outstanding women in the field of nursing Soon after the out- break of hostilities she offereil her services as an army nurse and in this connection rendered' splendid service. In liMl a call was made for volunteer nurses to go to Africa she responded and in time left Canada as matron-in-chief of a group of three hundred nurses who went to lend nursing service where it was needed on the African continent. Of this work she told a most interest- ing story and her address was very much enjoyed. Spea'king to the graduates she said "While for the past five years graduate nur.'vgs ' i our profeision have had the privilege of oaring for the men in the arm-d services at home and abroad, you have had the abiding satisfaction of oontril>uting to the health and comfort of their loved ones at home.

A few minutes later he tried again. The same two wonirn wfi-e still talking. "Say, lady, I smell your beans biirning," he broke in. There was a scream, two receivers went up, and the line was open. Shot Through Foot Little Billie Wrifirht, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dalton WJlght, was a pa- tient In the G. and M. Hospital for an X-ray as a result of an accident which occurred recently. He and some companions were digging a skunk from a hole, when one of the boys stepped on a .22 rifle, causing it to discharge. The bullet went right through his foot near his ankle. We are pleased to report that no bones were broken and he has re- turned home. â€" Wiarton EJcho, "I'll teach you to make love to my daughter." "I wish you would.
