There is no organi:z;ation in the Town of Whitby which carries on a work of mercy and of real commu· nity worth more quietly and ~~ctively than the V1c· torian Order of Nurses. In this 1ssue appear ~he an· nual reports of the various departments, sh_o~g not only the hundreds of visits paid to the Sick ':" the homes of Whitby but a very valuable work camed on among the children of the various schools in the pro- motion of better health. . . There is also the report of the Samantan Commit• tee which carries on work among the poor. After per• using carefully the statistics showing the number of families helped one naturally wonders :what would hap· pen if this committee were not on the JOb. Undoubtedly there would be a greater demand on civic relief funds if it ceased to function. • In Miss Patterson the V.O.N. evidently has ~ first class nurse, kind, considerate and capable, while a great deal of the aedit for the success of the V . 0. N. as a whole must go to the officers wh~ year ~y year carry out ·the tasks assigned to them ~th therr o?IY ward the assurance that they are domg somethmg reorth while for the community. The Gazette and chronicle asks its readers to read carefully the v . o. N . reports. Edltorim Notes. The fact that the Town Council was able this week to sell to a firm of municipal bond brokers a debenture issue of $31,000 at a price above par indicates that Whitby's financial standing on the bond market is exceptionally good. As a matter of fact, Whitby for many years has experienced no trouble in disposing of its debentures for either long or short terms at a very favorable price. Even the citi:z;ens have invested freely, confident that they will profit thereby._ • • • The City of Oshawa is organi:z;ing a Chamber of Commerce and has engaged an American expert from Chicago 'to direct the organi:z;ing. Now. if Mayor Bill Thompson ever hears this he may have the expert searched on his return to the Windy City to make sure that he brought back with him no British literature. Speaking seriously, however, it is our opinion that the Motor City could secure organiz.ing experts in Canada- men who have made a success of this business, without having to import them from another country. • • • • • General Motors of Canada, Limited, have made , ·a good start in the new year by setting up a new mon~ly production record for January. The mon~ just clooed saw 6,930 cars of all makes shipped from the Oshawa plants. Needless to say, the new Chevrolet and Pontiac lines did particularly well, but all of the other cars also had a share in establishing this splendid record which is a very substantial increase over January of last year and, as mcntionec.l above, establishes a new record for the month. With such a spendid beginning all signs point to a banner year in automobile production in Oshawa in 1928. • • • • Editor Malcolm MacBeth of the Milverton Sun be· ~· CL.rysler PRICES Effecriw Immediatel)' Coupe Roadster ,. : ': .
