46th Annual Meeting Held Of Prince County Hospital

The 46th annual meeting of the Prince County Hospital took place last night in the Memorial Nurses Home with Mr. Austin Scales pre- iident of the board, presidin,

Mr. Scales said that the attend- ince at last night's annual meet- ing was the largest in the four years during which he had been president of the board.

The Iircnclal statement of the hospital for the past year showed a mounting debt in operation cost which Mr. Scales said in sorr. way must come Lv an end if the hos- pital is to keep its doors open. Economy within the walls of the hospital together with financial as- sistance from citizens were two ways suggested by Mr. Scales to realize this.

The financial report, which was submitted by Judge W. E. Darby, showed that the total operation costs for 1955 to he S3il2,499.16 as compared with s345,803.99 in 1954.

Considerable discussion on ways and means of reducting the mount- inti operation costs took place.

Mr. Legerwood, the hospital ad- ministrator, in reply to questions from the floor outlined the diffic- ulties of the operation of present day hospitals on a no debt basis. He expla' ed that at times re- quests for admission of patients to the hospital had to be turned down while there were apparently a num her of beds not occupied and that this was due to the fact that there were not enough nurses to look after the 115 beds in the hospital.

It was suggested by Mr. M. M. Bell that a revision of rates at the Prince County Hospital might be made and thal a canvass of rural districts be made to induce more country people to subscribe to Blue Cross or some other hospital- ization plan.

Mr. Scales said that figures shovxed that the rate now existing was one dollar per day higher than

that charged in the two Charlotte- town hospitals.

Judge Darby in referring to the opening of the old has ital for chronic care said that this ad been done in order that the Federal Gov- ernment grant of 339,000. Would be available, and although it had been feared at first that its oper- ation would be at a loss, the board of directors had decided to go ahead, with the result that under the competent supe; ision of Miss

Slackford, it was not losing any money, and the grant had been received from the government.

The following trustees wre elect- ed for the next three years: A. A. Scales, Georg- Hogg, M. M. Bell, John Mungall, Elton Rayner. Mrs. W. P. Callaghan, Alex Horne, J. W. D. Campbell; and for the next two years. Clyde MacLaggan re placing Wm. Hayward and Gre- gory Muiholland replacing the late J. H. Gaudet.

The dedication of the memoriai nurses residence of the Prince County Hospital to the welfare of the citizens of Prince County and the dedication of memorial plaq- ues to the memory of the late Maynard Schurman and Grace B. Beattie, took place last night at the Nurses Home prior to the annual meeting of the Prince County Hospital.

Dr. John MacNeill was chair- man of the dedication ceremon- ies and in his remarks said he had been associated with the hos- pital since it had been opened in 1910. and spoke of his life long association with Mr. Schurman, who, as a great public spirited citizen, had donated the land on which the present hospital is built. He referred in glowing terms to Miss Beattie, who was a sister of Mrs. Maynard Schur- man, and the first superintendent of the Prince County Hospital when it opened almost a half- century ago.

Mayor Wm. Currie in his re marks briefly reviewed the his-

tory of nursing which be said ex-

Dedication of Nurses Memorial Residence; Plaques Dedicated

tended back to the beginning of history.

The opening of a school for nursing in 1836 in Germany was the first practical step to the modern schools of nursing we have today, he said.

Rt. Rev. G. J. MscLellan in a dedication address said that Miss Beattie was in truth a pioneer who had done her work well and faithfully.

Nurses, he said, must be prompted bya great. desire to aid humanity, a desire to alleviate the suffering of mankind. Mon- slgneur MacLellan, speaking of the late Maynard Schurman said that he came of a great family, with a great family tradition. He had enhanced this family tradi- tion by his Christian example. and in passing had left a great example to his family. He was a God fearing man who had work- ed unsellishly for the advantage of his fellow man.

The plaques were officially un- veiled by Mrs. Maynard Schur- man and the official acce made by Mr. Austin A. Scales, pi ” ' of the board of trustees.

The invocation and dedication prayer was offered by Rev. C. D. Matheson of Trinity United Church.

I am also stresalng'tIle point so that you Christian men and women, imbued with the thought of your own high dignity and des- tiny. common to you all, may he a driving force to uplift the soc- ial, economic and political life of our beloved country. You may think that your tiny, individual effort will accomplish little but remember that a feeble effort, when multiplied millions of times, becomes irresistible. Grasp bold iy then the reality of today and you'll have done your part to im- prove the society of tomorrow.

. You are young, full of enthus- iasn and capable of doing great things. I have faith in youth. I have spent the greater part of my life in friendly intimacy among such as you. I have heard their eager cries for victory, their merry laughter and have been their confidant in times of troub- le when the tear replaced Rte smile. As I gazed upon their shin- ing buoyant faces and reflected upon the sometimes questionable legacy, which we of the older gen- eration passed on to them, my wonderment was'that they were so good, st? wholesome and so full of promise.

"ADVENTURE BRAVELY"

Many of you have already sel- ected your career in life. I wish you every success. Even in the lesser field of human success most men fail for lack of courage. Advcnture bravely in whatever work of life you undertake. Do not be afraid of temporary fail- ure and be not satisfied with the common place. "Hitch your wag- on to a star". Dare to be great. That may seem ambitious. But ambition to succeed, if properly directed. i a virtue; is making the maxim:-zn us the talents

upon this select group and women today I feel . no matter what your course

pgnfin life may be, you will not be

satisfied with mediocre. You will not be content with the lowly foot- hills but will want to climbmnot for selfish reasons, the rugged mountain of preeminence to hold

s aloft the torch of truth for the

betterment of mankind.

If you are to enjoy great suc- ce..s you must purchase it at a price. That price is study and labour. There is no royal road to learning. The trend today is to- wards comfort and ease. If you seek these merely for their own sakes they will be replaced by that "soft life" which according to a great general of the last war, brought about the fall of a great nation.

What, you may ask, will life give you in exchange for the sat- isfaction of idleness and self-in- dulgencc. At first it will give you the pain of sacrifice and perhaps of suffering like any other discip- line intended for the training of the mind. Later it will bring you something of inestimable value, something which will never be po-

Borden Teachers Want Royal

Commission

A meeting of the teachers of Borden and vicinity was held in Bord school, Wednesday evening, May 28, 1956, to further discuss resolutions, etc. brought up at the teacher's Easter convention.

Mrs. Irene Easton, Principal of Borden School presided and the leading topics considered were, the appointment of a Royal Com- mission, the need of a Certification Board and how best to promote public relations.

The findings of this meeting will be submitted before a meeting of the Board of Governors to be held in Charlottetown, May 26th. 1..

ssessed by those who live solely for pleas e and amusement.

This peculiar indefinable joy is

the sign which marks your mom- ent of triumph. "It is the joy of the runner breasting the tape, of the artist before his portrait, of the woman hearing the first cry of her new-born babe, of the scientist on the verge of a dis- covery, of the hero leading his people to victory, of the saint fal- ling asleep in the peace of God". FINAL WORDS

one word more, dear graduates, and I have finished. You are to- day facing a world haunted by fear and impending strife. You will find that the high ideals, which you now hold so dear, will be threaiezied not only by forces from without but also by a strug- gle within your own souls. Re member that in the arena of your soul there are battles to be fought, both intellectual and moral, that will challeng the courage, the valour and the daring of youth, battles that really count, battles that will shape your own destiny and the world of tomorrow.

Whatever may be the role you play in life hold fast to the high and noble ideals you now cherish so much. Your fidelity to them may cost you much but your sur- render of them will cost you more. And when your fidelity to them is taxed almost to the breaking point and the spectre of failure or indecision begins to haunt your bewildered minds, have recourse to God.

During the dark days of the last World War our gracious Sover- eign, the late King George V1, pointed out in a New Year's mes- sage the course to follow when frustrated by perplexities and in- decision. That memorable quotat- ion, well known to you, will bear repetition: "I said to a man who stood at the gate of the year 'Give me a light that 1 may tread saf- ely into the unknown' and he re- plied, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand in the hand of God. That shall be to you bet- ter than light and safer than the unknown way' ".

You, dear ginduatcs. have come to the end of a pathway in life and have arrived at the gate that opens for you the unexplored yet fascinating future. Clasp the hand of God and then go forth with confidence into the unknown. May success be yours and may God bless and keep you until the shad- ows lengthen, and the evening of life has come and your work Is done.
