Dr. Moore in very able way roved the great value of the work of he nurse to suffering humanity, aptly uching on the inspiration of the life nd work of Florence Nightingale whose ronderful services in a day when there ras practically no adequate equipment, then anaesthetics had not been rought into regular use, and when onditions for doctors and nurses were 3 discouraging, had set an example of evotion and patient skill that remainâ€" d an inspiration to the long line of oble nurses that succeeded her. Rev. Fr. Theriault made the presentâ€" tion of diplomas to tne two nurses raduating, Miss Irene Hurley and fiss L. Meaney, who had duly taken re impressive Florence Nightingale ledge. In his remarks during the evening evy. Fr. Theriault emphasized a point nat may not be as generally recognizâ€" d as it should beâ€"viz., that graduates f St. Mary‘s hospital have just as igh professional standing as those of ‘oronto or any other place. All the raduates here are duly registered the me as in the large cities, and are enâ€" tled to the letters "R.N." after their ames. In view of the talent and deâ€" oted spirit of service in the Sister uperior and the staff of the hospital ere, the superior training and the de experience available at the hosâ€" ital here, Rev. Fr. Theriault said he uld not see why any young lady in is district should go elsewhere to in for a nurse when the St. Mary‘s ospital had courses here. Some very interesting facts about t. Mary‘s hospital were given by Rev. . Theriault. From 1912 to 1925, while e hospital was mines hospital, e had been 2539 patients treated. 1925 to 1930, as a general hosâ€" ital, there had been 4,779 patients. o less than 8,000 xâ€"rays had been en in the hospital here since 1925. erehad been 147 births at the hosâ€" ital in the past five years, The operâ€" ons, major and minor, since 1925, toâ€" ed 2,160.

Before the close of the event, Rev. ‘r. Theriault took occasion to express sincere thanks to the doctors of e town and district, to the clergymen, the nurses and to the neople in genâ€" ral for the success of the hospital and e interest and helpfuiness generally own. He had a special word for the ter Suprrior whose talent and unâ€" ing service were of such advantage. The two graduating nurses were preâ€" ntéd with beautiful bouquets of roses ing the evening. The event closed th the singing of "The Maple Leaf" the Class and Nurses. Bowling enthusiasts in town are looking for a specially good seascn in their popular sport. At the present time the alleys are being repaired and placed in the very best of shape, the parlours are being reâ€"decorted throughâ€" out and steamâ€"heating and all other modern conveniences installed. It is »xpected that by the time the season really opens the Stevens‘ bowling parâ€" lours will be asâ€"modern and attractive is any in the North Land. With a ;ood executive, many enthusiastic »layers, a fine hall, popularity with he public, and the coâ€"operation of he proprietor and staff of the parâ€" .ours the bowling fans are certain that this season will be one of the most sucâ€" cessful for bowlers in the town.

Sentors. _ To many of the pupils the dance held n the High School auditorium in the evening was the big feature of the day. It was a very pleasing event. Dancâ€" ing was from 8.30 to 11.30 pm., and Mr. Henry, principal of the school, who had assisted in the success of the dance Ohe fQorcupine AQdbpantre as well as of the day of sports, saw to it that all the students were home before midnight. The students all enâ€" joyed the dance to the limit and were very pleased with its success and pleasâ€" ure. The music for the occasion was provided by Tommy Stephens and his classy orchestra of experts. The music was very good and the orchestra saw that there was lots of it. During the evening a lunch was served, the boys in this case doing the honours in this line and doing it very well. The coffee was effectively made, and everything else was carried on with the swing anc success that characterized all features of the day and evening. Attendance at the dance was practically restricted to present students at the High angc Technical schools and former graduâ€" ates. Did all of them have a happy time? The answer of almost any of the students would be the equivalent in English of the more colloquial expresâ€" cion: ‘"We‘ll tell the world! And how!"

There was the briskest competition of the day in bids on some patepted mining claims to the southâ€"west of the town. J.

She had also asked a prominent lady in town to help get a job for her brother and had heard the employment agent at the Hollinger say that there were plenâ€" ty of men and no jobs open.
