It is the one-thousandth anni- versary of the baptism of its first recorded ruler. Mieszko 1, Prince of Poland and the sub- sequent millennium of Chris- tianity that followed Since the existence of a Chris- tian Poland,.the nation and her people have gone through many phases of progress. There were decades which saw the develop- ment of culture, science, art and the expansion of the na- tion But there were tragic years) of wars; struggles with enemies from within and without Before all this happened,) however, the Polish nation was in the darkness of paganism.! The great turning point came, 1,000 years ago on the 14th of April, 966 FIRST POLISH PRINCE At this time the first Polish} Prince, Mieszko 1, under the in-| fluence of his Christian wife Dabrowka, together with the whole nation embraced Chris- tianity The event took beautiful spring day, when Prince Mieszko and his court bowed their heads to Bishop Jordan and accepted Chris-| tianity, thus beginning Poland's} history It -was Mieszko's son, Bole- slaw Chrobry, the first: crown- ed King of Poland, 1025, who} expanded the borders of the nation' to the shores of the Bal- tic and Black Sea. | Boleslaw showed a great de-| place on a votion to the Holy Mother and called her 'His Lady" and that of the whole nation In sending § Adalbert, the first Polish saint, on a mission to Prussia, he asked Our Lady to protect him.

In that year Prince Wlady- slaw Opolczyek -brought the famous painting of Our Lady to Poland and placed it under the} care of the Paulist Fathers of} Czestoqhpwa which from that moment became: the spiritual capital of Poland. Multitudes arrived at the sacred place to pay homage to Our Lady. Amongst them was, Queen Hedwig who, by marry-| ing the Lithuanian duke, Wlady-! slaw Jagiello in 1386, brought} Christianity to him and his na- tion.

'Provision Of Job Security 'In Strike Held Basic Issue | Provision of job security for |the striking worker during law- |ful strike period is the basic | solution to the entire problem, |Albert V. Walker, MPP, told the Legislature, yesterday. He twas commenting on the use of jinterim court injunctions in| |strike action. | | If the possibility of strike breakers were eliminated, he said, by the introduction of a |job security section in our {Labor Relations Act, then pick- jet line violence, mass picket- jing, and the need for injunc- tions in labor disputes, would | rapidly disappear. | He told the House the issuing {interim injunctions in labor dis- |putes is contrary to use intend- ed of such injunctions. The main purpose of these pro-| visional injunctions is to keep the two parties in balance, he said. PURPOSE THWARTED This purpose is being thwart- ed, he said, experience has shown this is not the way it works out in labor disputes. "I have stated previously," he said, "that I cannot agree with those who pould flout the order of the court." He said he supported the thinking that the present posi- tion in regard to court injunc- tions in labor disputes is in the jurisdiction of the Labor Relations Board. In support of this thinking he said, "I submit that it is wrong that 'an otherwise honest, hard- working citizen should sudden- ly find himself in the position of acquiring a criminal record simply because he stands for what he considers to be his justifiable rights -- possibly his insistence of walking up and down the sidewalk as a picket." He suggested penalties could be worked out by the Board against unions, .if their mem- bers insisted on disobeying its regulations or orders. "In the case of actual vio- lence," he said, "'we have laws under the present criminal code to handle such matters and I would agree such matters should be handled by the courts." |GREATER UNDERSTANDING Mr. Walker indicated an even greater sense of understanding and maturity in labor - .man- agement relations is needed, even though definite strides in thatdirection are being made. "Today there is no compari- json between labor - manage- ment relations and those of the . 1940's," he said. "In this advanced age. in which we live," he said, 'there is no place for either labor or to Com-)need of. review, but when al|management pvho take a high+ knights of the Black cross he gates of Vienna, ready to con- prayed that a peaceful under-;quer Europe, King Jan Sobieski| standing could be reached so|respondel readily to Emperor munism, still long for a free/court decision has been hand-|handed | attitude the Poland. |ed down, the decision must be! other.' toward The Polish people in Oshawa, WLADYSLAW JAGIELLO, 13 . +» Played By Walter Naklicki QUEEN +» Played By that Christian blood would not|Leopold I's plea and marched|still have to be spilled 9n-both sides. | But the Teutonic knights, sure exhibiting this feeling, have spent several months in under| preparing themselves for the towards the capital : The wombined forces of victory, apparently had no|Jan Sobieski's command com-|grand occasion of their Millen- such desire.

In the final analysis, the suc- cess and profit of management depends on the skill and hard work of the employee, he said. The Kinsmen Club of Oshawa next week is campaigning for funds to enable research to be continued into the causes of a fatal childhood disease. The Kinsmen's target is $20,- 000, which is the cost of one year's research into cystic fi- brosis, an incurable disease which rivals: cancer as a killer of children under 15. One in every 1,000 children is| born with cystic fibrosis, a dis- ease which affects the lungs and stomach. A thick mucus forms on the wall of the lungs hindering oxygen intake, And no matter how much the child may eat, faulty digestive juices are unable to extract nutrition from the food. Cystic fibrosis has been nick- named '"'The Masquerader" be- cause its symptoms are decep-| Cystic Fibrosis Research Campaign Planned By Kin tively like asthma and bron- chitis. Research into cystic fibrosis, the most common and most serious chronic childhood dis« ease, is being carried out main« ly at the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren, Toronto. So far the only progress made in research has been to prolong the life of a victim of the disease. Today a oystic fibrosis child can expect to live to age 15. Ten years ago that same child would only have survived the first five years of his life. A CF child is only kept alive by round-the-clock medical care and a heavy drug program. He has to spend every night sleep- ing in a plastic tent filled with a thick mist of antibiotics.
