Tresidder, pili or shawa, FRIDAY, JUNE 65th, 1931 LIVES OF SERVICE Last night the largest class of nurses in the history of the Oshawa General Hospital was graduated with impressive ceremonies. There is something stirring about a gradu- ation ceremony of this character. To the young women who are the principals mn it, it means a great deal. It is the 2nd of their period of training, a period which has been marked by hard work and intensive study. It means that, after their years of study and devotion to the duties imposed on them during the training period, they have been given their diplomas and launch- ed on a new period of life. But, what is more important, it is only the beginning of their lives of service to their fellow human beings. Graduation is a dividing point between training and ser- vice; ow the newly fledged nurses age ready to step out into the world, ty carry the touch of healing and mercy wherever they go. They have a great place to fill in the world. Wherever there &_ is 'sickness and suffering, their skill and "¥nowledge are bringing ease and comfort to the sufferers. Theirs is a high calling. It is a calling which demands much in self- sacrifice, much in patience and in devotion to. duty... They have spent the last few years in'learning what these things mean, and now they are ready to go forward to put them into practice. Graduation time i§ a time for congratu- lation, because it marks the reaching of the end of a hard road. But it is also a time for sending forth these messengers of hu- manity with blessings on their heads, not so much for what they have done, but for what they yet have to do. The Times. joins in congratulating the graduate nurses, and these cor 18. are not extended Solely Bocas ine have been successful in meeting he requirements 'of their pro- fession, but rather because of the fact that they have chosen lives of service to suffer- ing humanity, lives in which, in many cases, their greatest reward will be. the grateful thanks of those whose burdens of suffering they have been able to lighten. NATURALIZATION AND EMPLOYMENT Mayor Marks issued a challenge to the foreign-born population of Oshawa the oth- er day when he informed a deputation of foreign-born citizens that first considera- tion, in the matter of civic employment, . would be given to those who had become naturalized as Canadian citizens. In mak- ing this statement, of course, he was re- ferring only to those of foreign birth, and 24 not mean to infer that naturalized new s would be given any preference over those of British birth. His intention was to show these new Canadians that there were distinct benefits to be gained by naturalization, and that if they wished to secure the benefits of living in Canada, it . was necessary for them to show their will- ingness to become Canadian citizens. While the attitude taken by Mayor Marks is something new, yet it has much to com- mend it. It is true that the citizens of a municipality, whether naturalized or not, have to live, and have to support their fam- ilies it is logical that serie preference should | be shown to those who have proven their : hip, and have taken out naturaliza- papers as an earnest of their desire to become 'loyal Canadian citizens. It is well t these people should be shown that ere are advantages in naturalization, and : t they should, as soon as they are elig- ble, take the steps that are necessary to forswear allegiance to the countries from h they came, and throw their weight the development of this country. If intend to remain in Canada, to raise their families here, it is only "that they should become full-fledged citizens, and once they see that 'are direct benefits to be gained from this step, they are likely to take the ~ question of 'naturalization much more seri- ously than many of them do at the pres- | "NEW CHURCHES FOR OSHAWA 1 esterday's issue of The Times confained | articles of importance to the res' igious life of the community. One was an ace nt of the unveiling of the : hag gen. the cane, and: this congregation" is sure to. benefit very materially for the faith it has shown, at this time, in starting the erection of a church. - The other news story was the announce- ment that the congregation of Knox Pres- byterian Church is about to start the erec- tion of its auditorium, to complete the church building which was started a few years ago. Under the leadership of the Rev. Duncan Munro, this congregation has grown in a remarkable way, and has devel- oped both spiritually and materially. It is no small task that it has undertaken, but with the pioneer spirit of the Scottish for- bears from whom most of its members are sprung, the members and adherents of Knox Church are going ahead with their large project. People of other churches will watch their efforts with sympathetic inter- est, and The Times trusts that the dream of the members of the Presbyterian con- gregation to have their home completed will speedily, be realized, A DECISION AT LAST Those citizens of Oshawa who have for years looked on the high board fence on the south side of Alexandra Park as an eyesore will now rejoice. The board of park com- missioners has at last, fallen in line with the ideas of these citizens, and has decided to tear down this fence and replace it with an artistic wire fence, which will not hide the beauties of the park from those who live opposite it, nor from the many visitors who pass it on the way down to the golf course. The parks board, of course, has had this project in mind for a considerable time, and we understand that it was wait- ing for a favorable moment, financially, to do the job. Now it has decided that this moment has come, and the atrocity will dis- appear. While commenting on.the passing of this eyesore, it might be appropriate to mention another in the same vicinity, namely, the cement foundation of the old water-tower on the green lawn alongside the bowling greens. Citizens have long wondered why this great chunk of cement is allowed to remain there, marring the otherwise pleas- ant aspect of the scene. In these days when 80 many men are unemployed and anxious- ly looking for work, it would be very ap- propriate to have this monstrosity removed, the ground filled in.with soil, seeded or sod- ded, and the beauty of this particular spot restored, -If this eyesore could be made to ,disappear, along with the board fence south of the park, there would be great rejoicing among those who are interested in preser- ving the beauties of the city, EDITORIAL NOTES The parks board has passed a set of by- laws governing the parks, the logical result of which should be the posting of signs, "Watch your Step." Once the improvements at Memorial Park are completed, it is to be hoped that the citizens will co-operate in preserving it _ in a state of beauty. A young man from Owen Sound was killed in making a 'patachute jump from an aeroplane. It is too bad that the desire for stunting should take so many lives as It begins to look as if the injection of new blood into the parks board this year has given that body a new lease of life. Other Editors'Comments MASS PRODUCTION AND PROFITS (New York World-Telegram) « All of the Hoover' Administration's talk about the necessity of the high wage-short hour system is not a matter of charity or sentimentality, but of hard business sense. The reason is clear. Profits depend on turn-over. Mass production depends on mass consumption. The problem is not how to make more goods, but how to sell more goods.

(To be continued) GEORGE MYROVER, EDITOR OF THE FAYETTEVILLE (N. C.) OBSERVER, SAYS: That no city is better than its citizens. All citizens should support every movement that tends to the betterment of the community in which they live. The better citizens of the com- munity -should keep alert at all times, in order to keep the com- munity from falling into the con- trol of unscrupulous politicians and underworld characters. Good roads and fast automo- biles enable bank robbers and other criminals, to pull jobs in law-abiding communities while working from a base hundreds of miles away. NO COUNTRY WILL EVER RID ITSELF OF THE UNDESIR- ABLES UNTIL. THE BETTER FLEMENT TAKE MORE INTER- EST IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS. FORECAST SHORT CROP Adverse conditions and somewhat smaller acreages combine to indi= cate a probable decrease in the strawberry and raspberry crops in Canada for the 1931 season, accord- ing to the first crop report issued this season by the Dominion Fruit Branch, Dry weather during the growing season last year had an ad- verse effect on strawberry planta- tions, particularly new plantings which did not grow satistactorily, Medium to heavy bloom is in pros- pect for most distriets-with the to- tal strawberry acreage slightly lower than for last year. Raspber- ry plantations generally are report- ed good as to conditions, with me- dium to heavy bloom, except in Bri- tish Columbia where only a medium crop is in prospect. The raspberry acreage in British Columbia is re- ported as 10 per cent below last year, and a small reduction other- wise throughout the Dominion is reported. -------------------- FEEDS WHICH TAINT Feeds which injure the flavour and which should not be fed to milch cows include: Decvayed ensilage J Leeks, onions, or apples in large quantities.

One of them was from Harry Aslett, of London, who offered to marry her so that she could en- ter Great Britain as a Briton's wife and later obtain a divorce. She said she was willing to marry either a Briton or a Frenchman if "it helps me out of this mess."

As the last hope vanished that they would be allowed to go to Paris, the entertainers' spirits sunk to a new low. Huddled in the bare dining room of their emigrant hotel, they listened mournfully to the plunk of a guitar and a dancer rehearsing her steps. They are due to be de- ported tomorrow on the liner Paris. Nancy, France, June 4.--Mayor John H. Porter of Los Angeles, who has taken a militant dry stand dur- ing the tour of the American may- ors in France, has been converted to the use of the sauces, and the other mayors held a "victory" cele- bration Tuesday. : : Mayor Porter admitted he liked the Chambertin and red wine sauc- es served with fowl and the flaming brandy sauce served with the lit- tle Crepe Suzette pancakes, All the mayors were fascinated by the elab- orate ritual of preparing the Crepes U. S. Mayors Hold Celebration Over Dry Leaders Conversion Suzettes, reaching its climax when the pancakes, swimming in a bath of butter, are drenched in spirit and set afire, and then are served still blazing. Porter denied that his liking for sauces was in any way a violation of his prohibition principles. "Prohibition generally applies to drinking fermented liquors, which cease to be classed as alcoholic drinks when cooked and served in sauces," he said. "No sane man would accuse me of eating Cham- bertin sauce just to get the wine in it" Garden | Hints Too often the average bower gar- den is disfigured by odd shaped stakes, hoops and wires used to sup- port taller flowers and shrubs. Much trouble can "be avoided by giving things plenty of room so that main stems are stocky and side growth develops, but certain tall plants such as delphinium, phlox, cosmos and dahlias require some support even when grown under the best condi- tions, otherwise they will fall over or become entangled when hit by high winds or heavy rain. If all stakes used are stained a neutral green or brown, they will blend with the background, and will be practically hidden a few weeks after placing. As a matter of iact, we should try to make our flowers conspicuous and not our carpentry, For bushy plants like the peony or delphinium, the writer has found a simple galvonized wire curcular support sufficient. Use heavy, good quality wire. Cut in pieces of from two to four feet in length, depend- ing on the height required, Put a sniall loop about an inch in diamet- er at one end, then bend in a half circle with a foot or so left over which should be turned straight down. This will give you a half circle' with support. Do the same with another piece of wire only making the circle in the .opposite direction and then fasten both piec- es loosely together by putting sup- porting parts through the loops, thus making a complete circle with two supporting pieces at opposite sides. After a trial or two, the manufacture of these supports will be very simple. Size of the circle and length of supporting pieces will, of course, depend on the size of plant in view. These supports should be placed while growth is still short so that the plant will develop in and around the wire, thus hiding same and getting maxi- mum support. Climbing roses should tbe attached to a light wooden grel- lis and preferably kept a foot or more away from stone or brick walls so that foliage and bloom will not be injured by reflected heat. An old tennis net; brush or strings make best support for sweet peas. As a rule, poultry netting should be avoided on account of the danger of cutting foliage and stems during a wind, "Your car rattles dreadfully. Does it always do this?" "Oh, no--only when it is in motion." NO EXCUSE for faulty brakes! Many a life has been sacrificed to a set of faulty brakes. They may have been thought to be in "pretty good condition" but they were just not good enough. So little time is required to check over your braking system, so little expense is involved and the measure of safety pro- vided is so great that driving with brakes which you cannot depend upon verges upon criminal negligence.
