(L to R) Janice Parker, Linda Johnston, Eva Koblak and Sharon Siblock BUT OLD VINDICATOR 1867 Population Seen 2,500 Oshawa's population in 1867 was estimated by assessors to be about 2,500 but the Oshawa Vindicator, predecessor of The Oshawa Times, said this figure was "surely under the number. "A stranger would perhaps obtain a better idea of the pop- ulation and business of the town on Saturday evening than at any other time,"' the Vindicat- or said. "On that evening, although few would be in from the count- ty, King Street would be throng- ed like the street of some large city," said the paper. 'This is caused by the mechanics of the factories and others hav- ing on that afternoon, receiv- ed their week's wages"'. The Vindicator said visitors would be struck by the silence "that reigns over the town". "Tt cannot be pretended that all of out men are sober and industrious, or that we have not a share of roughs, yet upon com- paring our own record with that of other towns, it cannot be denied that we are blest in this respect", SAID TOTAL WAS HIGHER "An instance may be seen on a Saturday evening of a man with a striking affection for the ardent and a wonderful respect for the early closing law, who has managed between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. to swallow enough to tide him over the period of prohibition, yet after all they are exceedingly quiet and have a knack of soon hurrying out of sight of the constable and the public," said the paper. But the Vindicator did not think the signs of prosperity were limited to the streets on a Saturday evening. "The busy factories, contin- ually increasing their capacity and yet finding it difficult to supply the demand, testify that we have a solid foundation," said the paper. "New houses are going up in every street, work- men are now engaged from ev- erything from layng the foud- ation to plastering some 15 new buildings and contracts vary- ing from $300 to $3,000. And still there is demand for more and rents still rule from a half to twice as much as those of ; and inspected the quarters.

Forty - four Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital student nurses and technicians received mock dip- lomas at graduation exercises ' last night at O'Neill Collegiate| and Vocational Institute. Provincial registration exam- inations for the 36 student nurses begin in August, the four labora- tory technicians commence exams June 12 and the radio- logical technicians will write! examinations in November. Hundreds of relatives and friends attended the ceremonies last night as well as civic dig- nitaries, hospital staff and dir- ectors of the hospital board. Each student carried a bouquet of red roses, a gift of Col. R. S. McLaughlin. Hospital administrator W. A. Holland presented the girls with their diplomas and E. G. Storie, presi- dent of the hospital board of directors, said he hoped the students would consider remain- ing at the hospital after graduat- ing from the school of nursing. CAMPAIGN PLANNED Mr. Storie officially announced the hospital would begin a cam- paign for public subscription for the proposed $11,400,000 addition to the west wing of the hospital. "This will be the biggest cam- paign in the history of the hos- pital," he said. Mr. Storie said he knew the community would accept the campaign challenge knowing Mr. Holland would as- Mr. Hilland would assist in its sist in its direction. Mayor Ernest Marks extended his best wishes on behalf of the city of the medical staff, said the knowledge gained by students during hospital training 'was sound." Dr. Grant urged students to work at other hospitals "to im- prove skills" but added he hoped they would return to Oshawa to serve the community. VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Miss Gail Wilson, presenting the valedictory address to the | 36 student nurses, said the x-ray and lab technicians are impor- tant members of the health unit and, on behalf of the school of nursing, extended her 'Most sincere thanks." Miss Edith F. Bell, director of school of nursing, was pre- sented with a bouquet of red carnations on behalf of the stu- dents by Tracey Galt, sister of Donna Galt, a student nurse.

Mrs, J. A. Aldwinckle, social editor of The Oshawa Times, and president of the Oshawa Folk Festival, said she found the Turkish barracks during a European trip 18 months ago winckle. "I visited the room and I wandered among territory and I came back to Canada, determined to know more about this courageous woman who waged a_ social war, almost single-handedly, and laid the foundation for this SHOCKED FAMILY Florence Nightingale, the daughter of wealthy English parents, shocked her family by caring for the sick who were living on her father's estate. Such unladylike conduct was a disgrace to her and to her fam- ily, they said, and the thought of Florence entering a hospital was intolerable. Florence' kept diaries and notes of her life and she lived past 90. She has recorded that on four different occasions she heard the voice of God. In 1845, hospitals were places of wretchedness, degradation and squalor. Gin and brandy were smuggled into the wards that were filled with slum tene- ments called "rookeries". "Yet worst of all, was the drunkenness and immorality of the furse," said Mrs. Ald- winckle. "No respectable woman could eridure such con- ditions." The typical nurse in Florence Nightingale's day was fat, old, MRS, J. A. ALDWINCKLE +.» guest speaker spirits', unsympathetic, uncon- scientious and gruff. "Writing in secret, from dawn to breakfast, Florence wrote her own findings, laying the foundations of the detailed knowledge of sanitary condi- tions that was to make her the first expert in Europe," said Mrs. Aldwinckle. DISGRACE? Miss Nightingale accepted a position to supervise an institu- tion for the care of sick gentle- women in "distressed circum- stances". Her decision so acute- ly upset her mother and sister that they wept, raged and col- lapsed from the disgrace. Florence was called to Mid- diesex Hospital in London in the summer of 1854, when a cholera epidemic broke out. "Toiling day and night without rest, she brought order and cleanliness out of.chaos,"' said the speaker. "This was a dress rehearsal for the drama:that was about to unfold." The unmerciful Crimean war broke wide open. when England and France declared war on other towns"'. "conspicuous with the smell of Oshawa Times Photos .

The Turkish barracks were un- fit for sick and wounded sol- diers who laid on unwashed rot- ten floors in the corridors of the building. Equipment, food and water were scarce serv- ices. PEST HOUSE "Sanitary defects made it a pest house and the majority of men who died there, died not of wounds or sickness with which they arrived, but of dis- ease they contracted as a re- sult of being in the hospital,' said Mrs. Aldwinckle. 'The average number of patients in the hospital at any one time was 2,349 and'in the same per- iod, 2,315 died." The political entanglements and delays angered Miss Night- ingale. She wrote directly to Queen Victoria and asked for more sick pay for soldiers and proper burying grounds. The queen acted on both sugges- tions. 'Never again would the picture of a nurse be a tipsy, promiscuous harridan,'" said Mrs. Aldwinckle. "'Miss Night- ingale had stamped the profes- sion of nurse with her own image." She returned to England after the war a public heroine but, in retiren.ent, waged war against poverty, sickness and disease with her writings. In 1858, she initiated the Nightingale Train- ing School as part of the St. Thomas Hospital.

In Expropriat Hayward Murdoch, chairman of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, has again added his voice to the list of conservation leaders call- ing for the rescinding of ex- propriation legislation passed in the Ontario Legislature last fall. The legislation, which be- came effective Jan. 1, places Ontario's Conservation Author- ities in a separate position from other agencies of govern- ment which have the right to expropriate without taking the matter before a judge. Employment Hike Seen The Department of Manpower and Immigration reports there was an increase in employment activity during the month of May due to considerable re- calls and moderate hirings. ion Rule The legislation would require a conservation authority to prove need before a_ county judge before being permitted to expropriate land. Mr. Murdoch is already on record as _ supporting the recommendations of the Legis- lature's select committee on conservation which recome mended that the Jan. 1 legisla- tion be repealed and that cone servation authorities have the same rights of expropriation as other municipal bodies. Mr. Murdoch said he would like to see the expropriation procedures for all agencies of government made _ uniform, This would enable all governs ment agencies to know where they stand on the expropriation situation. However, Mr. Murdoch said, the legislation will have no im- mediate effect on the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Aus thority. "IT see no expropriation re- quirements for the immediate future;" said the chairman. Aut and ile parts industries continued to re- call a considerable number of workers, while construction ac- tivity increased as several large projects got under way. In April the number of un- employed people in Oshawa to- talled 3510, compared to 4117 in May. The Canada Manpower Centre in Oshawa has vacancies listed for automobile mechanics, mill- rights, electrical repairmen, machinists, tool and die mak- ers, tool designers, mechanical draughtsmen, accountants, phy- ical therapists, medical techno- logists, nurses, hairdressers, waitresses and housekeepers.
