Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 63 y 2 (1) 7 MAY, 1948 MONDAY, JUNE 14, 1948 Widely Mourned In the death during the week-end of Mr. James Frise, widely known and famous Canadian cartoonist, the Domin- ion has lost one whose ability to portray the life of the little people of the community won a place for him in the hearts of magazine and newspaper readers from coast to coast. Collaborating with Mr. Gregory Clark, whose roots were also deep in Ontario County history, Mr. Frise was born on Scugog Island, near Port Perry. Together they created and made famous the Birdseye Centre feature which appeared each week in The Star Weekly and later the Juniper Junction feature in The Standard of Montreal. Believed by many in this district to have its setting in the Raglan-Port Perry dis- trict, Birdseye Centre recorded the day-to-day events which might have happened in any small community in the prov- ince. hearts of all with the result that they were followed with more than the usual interest. "The gift which Mr. Frise possessed has left the world a happier place in which to live, and the antics of Pigskin Peters, Archie and his moose, the wild duck, and the hound as well as the activities around the village store will live long in the memory of those whose privilege it was to follow them. A Noble Profession The graduation last Friday night of 18 nurses from the school of nursing of the Oshawa General Hospital attracted much attention from a Jarge section of the community with, the result that this colorful event at the O.C.V.L. auditorium was largely attended not only by the parents and friends of the graduates but also by a large number of citizens of Oshawa and surrounding district. Since Florence Nightingale first went to the Crimea to bring new hope to the wounded, the nursing profession has grown and developed by leaps and bounds until today it ranks in importance with the medical profession. . Working hand in hand they have opened new vistas for mankind and | made the world a better and happier place in which to live. | It goes without saying that the nursing profession re- quires special attributes of understanding and sympathy as well as a degree of self sacrifice. However, those who em- bark upon nursing as a career do so with the knowledge that they are making life more hopeful and brighter for those for whom they care. From this knowledge the nurse is re- imbursed in a measure for the close attention and detail and the long hours which are required of her, In recent years the attention of the world has been focussed from time to time upon advances in medical science, new surgical techniques and the introduction of new drugs. All of these have tended to increase man's span of life expectancy. However, it should not be forgotten that were it not for the gentle care given by the nursing profession and its attention to detail the benefits reaped from them would not have been as great. As was pointed out by Miss Eugenie Stuart, in her address to the graduates, the scope for service in the nursing profession is daily becoming broader. Not so many years ago little was known of the fields of public health and indus- trial nursing. Today they are.among the most important features of community life. They are indicative of the fact that the profession was not content with the nursing of the sick back to health and strength, but sought to delve intc the background of the community and seek to prevent illness before it occurred. We would extend our heartiest congratulations to the new graduates and wish them every success in their chosen field of activity, confident in the knowledge that they will live up to its highest ideals and contribute in no small way to its advancement. Record Auto Exports With Canadian automobile manufacturers straining ".every nerve to combat shortages of material and maintain if not increase the flow of vehicles to the anxiously waiting public, it is interesting to note that during April, exports of | autos and commercial vehicles from the British Isles broke all previous records and beat the goverment's end-of-year target rate. During the month overseas shipments included more than 23,300 autos--an increase of over 4,200 over the March figure--and 6,600 trucks and buses, nearly 800 more than in March. ; With these record shipments Britain's automobile in- dustry has now established a world lead, topping the last known monthly export figures of the U.S.A.

"We are not earning our own living or paying our own way and the government does not hold pros- pects of our doing so in the im- mediate future," Churchill told a. Conservative party rally. "Unless we free our country while the time remains from the perverse doctrines of Socialism, there can be no hope of recovery. "This grotesque 'idea of "manag- ing vast commercial enterprises by centralized state direction can lead only to bankruptcy and ruin." He said higher costs of govern- ment operation of the coal mines, transport and electricity, all na- tionalized since Labor came to power in 1945, are penalizing "all other industries by which we earn our livelihood."
