He explained the company's position in the strike that has been in progress at his plant since last June 8. This was the second meeting at which the local ministers have heard the issues involved in the current labor dispute at General Printers Lid. At a pre- vious meeting Oakley Peters of Ajax, chairman of the strike committee, local 969 of the In- ternational Typographical Union presented the union's views. On both occasions, the mem- bers of the Association had op-| portunity to question the speak- ers, with the result that a clear-| : er understanding now exists in their minds of the problems each side is seeking to resolve. Alloway gave an informal talk covering the events leading up to the strike which started June 8. | He said: "I am always op- timistic that a way will be found| to settle the dispute. The same, ° issues are still awaiting settle- ment and no official negotiations are being conducted at present. "The union has really not moved off its position of a year ago.

McINTYRE HOOD In these modern days when teenage boys and girls are 80 often under attack as being un- disciplined, selfish, unreliable and inconsiderate of others, it is refreshing to find in Oshawa a group of dedicated young girls who are giving the lie to these charges by their care for others. These girls are known as the "Candy Stripers'. The name in itself does not signify anything as a description of the splendid things they are doing. It is merely descriptive of the uniform they wear as they go about their voluntary tasks in the Oshawa General Hospital, to which institution they have at- tached themselves as young workers who, without thought of reward, are lightening the bur- dens of the regular hospital staff and at the same time brighten- ing the lives of the patients in the hospital. On a recent Sunday, for in- stance, the Candy Stripers assembled in the cafeteria of the Oshawa General Hospital. With them in that spacious room were all the patients who were able to be out of bed. The girl volunteer workers made it a bright and cheerful afternoon for the sick people by present- ing an excellent program of music selections, with the Christmas theme of goodwill and thought for the welfare of others predominant.

They ren- der many little personal services to the patients, such as writing letters for them, answering the patients' call lights, in fact, do- ing anything they possibly can to help the busy professional nursing staff, and leave the nurses more time for other and more important duties in the care of the sick. One of their duties is that of taking patients to the chapel for religious serv- ices. RECORD OF SERVICE Since the inauguration of the service in April, 1963, to the end of October 'of this year, the Candy Stripers have contributed 18,756 hours of free service to |the- Oshawa General Hospital. \In the summer months of this lyear, while on school holidays, they gave 5,828 hours of serv- ices. During the period of 18 months, 163 girls contributed to that record. From time to time, as. girls have dropped out on leaving school, new volunteers have taken their places. There is a constant waiting list of between 75 and 100 girls. The last train- ing course was held on Novem- ber 5, when 17 new volunteers were oriented to their duties.

Lunn, was set up to study the project and report on its feasibility. RESPONSE OVERWHELMING The response made by the girls of the secondary schools was overwhelming. When the call went out for 65 volunteers, approximately 300 responded and expressed their desire to take part in the project. The first step towards having these girls take over their vol- untary services in the hospital was taken on April 16, 17 and 18, 1963, when an orientation course was held for the first. group se- lected to become Candy Stripers. This course was wel- eomed by Mrs. Telford, who gave valuable co-operation in arranging it, and it was con- ducted by Mrs. Elmer Stewart, co-ordinator of in-service educa- tion. When the course was com- pleted, the first group of girls was ready to undertake volun- tary work at the hospital. That was the beginning, and because of the remarkable success of this experimental step in light- ening the work load of the nurses and other paid staff of the hospital, it has mushroomed into an integral part of the hos- 'Candy-Stripers Vital Link | apists. Others are Interested in the laboratory phases of hospital work. So the Candy Stripers movement has revealed a great potential for providing recruits for professional hospital serv- ices. While some hospital staff members and even doctors were at first dubious as to the value of the Candy Stripers, that feel- ing has entirely disappeared, and the doubters are now com- pletely sold on the importance of their work. These girls are not clock-watchers. In case of necessity, they invariably stay on duty for much longer hours than the schedule requires. LEADS IN ONTARIO The Oshawa General Hospital staff of Candy Stripers forms the largest group of such volun- teer workers anywhere in On- tario, and that includes Toronto, Throughout the whole province, at the latest count, there are 3,431 girls now doing this volun- teer work in Ontario hospitals, and the number is growing steadily. The Oshawa group is for- tunate in having as its teacher and supervisor on duty Mrs. Ruth Douglas Clemens, who takes a very keen personal in- terest in the work and the de- velopment in: service of all the girls under her care. Mrs. C, R. Lunn, convener of the Candy Stripers' Committee of the Women's Hospital Aux- iliary, has worked assiduously for the success of the project, and is responsible for the co- ordination of the whole effort. Asked as to the qualifications required for a girl to become a Candy Striper, Mrs. Lunn put them briefly... . "'a reasonable amount of ambition and willing- ness and self control.
