Growers Increasing Early Potato Planting

ilt is probable that a record for early planting wus establish- ed in Nova Scotia this year when a grower in the Blomldon area planted potatoes on the 4th of April. states the weekly bulletin issued by the Laboratory of Plant Pathology. Planting for early market production was well ad- vanced by the 15th of April In Kings, Dlgby. Annapolis and Yar- mouth Counties. and in the early areas of Colchester County, par- ticularly the Lower Truro dis- trict. The acreage of early po- tatoes is considered to be the high- est on record in Nova Scotia.

Although Prince Edward Island has never produced a large vol- ume of early market potatoes there has been an increased in- terest in this phase of potato pro- duction this year. A considerable increase in acreage is noted and. in general, plantings hsve' been earlier than usual.

The growers have increased their plantings of early market potatoes with the anticipation that 1&1 table stock will be used up relatively early in the season and with the expect fun that market prices will remain at a highly pro- fitable level. The market. how- ever. is not unlimited and a large volume of early table potatoes dumped on the Maritime trade would force prices down.

Collrl Refuses Application Of Toltalon Company

All lllpllcatlon was refused Yellerdly in the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island for the rescission of Court orders of De- camber. 10 last for the holding Kiln zencrnl meeting of share. Lo ders of Tokalon Industries

td. Chief Justice Campbell, how. Ever. varied those orders by clim- lnltlnl the reduced minimum quorum and leaving the quorum as it stands in the company's by-laws. The 62,496 shares rep- resenting the holdings of the late Euen Virgil Neal who was domiciled in Switzerland cannot be voted on "at the first meeting I0 that only four shareholders hBV1nl one share each are pre- sently qualified.

The INK! block of shares was purported to be transferred by a document executed in Switzer- land to the International Pro- ducts Trust, with headquarters in the principality of Liechten. stein. but the transfer was never made on the bookn of the com- pany. The shares, therefore. pass for the time being to the per- sonsl representatives of the late Mr. Neal who, it is agreed by the partles, are the widow, Renee Bodier Neal and Elmer L. Kin- caid who sre mutually opposed to one another in the present action.

In resisting the holding of the Pmhosed rneetinif to revive the Canadian company Mr. Kincaid maintains that it has no assets while it is claimed for the widow that it controls Tokalon Pro- ducts S.

Residents of Upper Prince and school streets have been enjoying the first appearances of the Prince Street school Band which has been practicing outdoors recently. For several years the Prince Street school Cadet Corps has been sup- plemented by its own bugle band. but this year they have the dis- tinction of having the only junior brass band in the City.

Director of the band is Mr. Ivo Cudmore. a member of the West Kent School Band of a number of years ago. He has been able to loc- ate a number of the uniforms and instruments of the former band with which to outfit the new org- anization.

New Brass Band For Prince Street School

"Last; September, some of these boys didn't know a clarinet from a trumpet", said Mr. Cudmore as he acknowledged the admiring re- marks of s. surprised spectator.

Mr. Cudmore personally instruct- ed each of the sixteen members or the band throughout the winter at twice weekly practices. Yesterday they were a. credit to their instruct- or as they marched smartly and ad- mirably played a number of milit- ary airs.

On Thursday evening they will give a performance for the benefit of the Parent-Teachers Assoctatior. of Prince Street, and on Sunday will make their first official public appearance at a Church parade.

At a. meeting of the City Coun- cil yesterday morning, the basic rate payable to casual labour for the city was increased from 65 to 70 cents per hour. Action to this effect was taken on a motion of Coun. Elmer MacDonald. seconded by Coun. Gormley. and approved by the Council.

The meeting also gave third reading in a by-law under which the Mayor may grant a permit to

wisdom the same is justified.

Mayor Stewart presided at yes- terday's meeting, at which all the Councillors were present with the exception of Couns. Johnstone, who is absent from the Province, Coun. Keefe, who is ill. The meet- ing was called to conclude the bus- iness of the regular monthly meet- ing which had been adjourned from Monday night.

The changing values of educat- ion in the modern world were emphasized last night by Dr. L. W. Shaw. Director of Education, when he addressed the graduating class of the P. E. 1. Hospital school of Nursing. The graduating exer- cises were held in the Prince of Wales College Auditorium before a capacity audience.

Dr. Shaw referred to the cere- mony as a ' encement" and suggested that the word seems, to imply that the persons involved are right back where they started in the beginning of their training lie reminded the graduates that there had been "ups and downs" during their training period. dif- ficult and discouraging periods as well as the moments of thrills and satisfaction.

The Director of Education said that the concept of education had widened greatly in recent years and it no longer was considered to be concerned with only books and collpge halls. Present day educat- ion was both culturiil and ussful and he was proud to address the

perhaps the finest posnble ex- ample of the results of a pro- gramme of education that com- bines the cultural and prncticai to I remarkable degree."

Nurses and Educatoriu

, Dr. Shaw added that no longer could educators separate mind and body in the field of education and that now the educator was not a "glorified service station att:nd- ant" who could fill up the brains of students by pressing a valve. He compared the student to a patient entering a doctor's office. in that the doctor had the whole person to deal with. not merely a heart or a stomach. This he stated was the same with both nurses and educators.

The speaker stated that hursinc was a profession which requires great knowledge and great skill and was one in which Ii person could go on learning all through life. However. he felt that the key- stone of the profession was the nurse's ability to minister to the needs of patients as individuals. Thole needs. Dr. Shaw said. were psychological as well as physical. Patients had mental needs as well as physical ones and when they were ill they were emotionally up- set as well as physically unbal- lnced.

He referred to the nurses as those going out "to serve man- kind in what could be termed the Golden Age of Healing," and said they had ii made acquainted with the greatest wonders of mod- ern science and -unprecedented discoveries which resulted in mod- em miracles.

Stresses Opportunities In Nursing Profession

however, that their knowledge also brought witii it a greatly added responsibility as one of the prin- ciples of democracy. Dr. Shaw also stated that it was one of the prin- ciples of Christianity itself that "To whom much is given, of him much shall be required." He told the nurses that with their spec- iallzed training they could do much to keep people healthy.

Relaxation Needed

In order to maintain the attit- ude expectcd of nurses the speak- er said that they should have interests outside their worklni life. People or hobbies to which they could turn for relaxation or recreation. lie recalled to them the days when they first started training and said that it was the knowledge they had acquired which changed them from the fearful. shrinking little girls to the calmly efficient nurses who were receiving their pins. He told the girls never to be afraid to be kind to patients and to always re- member that the one they were

lie also called the attention of the graduates to the recent words of Miss J. M. Weir. Director of Queen's University School of Nursing, when she said that "We have put a modern electric bulb in Florence Nightinggalc's lamp-the modern efficient nurse."

Dr. Shaw said that the future holds a "tremendous" responsibil- ity for the graduating nurses and that the letters R.N. after their name might be constructed to mean "responsibility now." How- ever, he felt that the nurses were not frightened of the task ahead because thir education had been sound and effective. They had

An enthusiastic gathering filled Zion Church last night to hear the student Presbyterian Choir. stud- enta of Presbyterian College. Mon- treal, and Knox College, Toronto. who are conducting a. mission in the Maritime Provinces.

The choir opened with "Light of God Within Us Shine," and then the leader of the group. Rev. Finley Macbeod, Minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Kitchener. Ontario, invited the congregation to share in the joyous experience of praise. joining first of all in "Cri- mond" (The Lord Is My shepherd)

Cari Currie of Montague gave the Call to Worship and Invocation, and Carl Douglas of Port Carling. Ontario. read the lesson. chapter it! of the Gospel of St. Luke and led in prayer, followed by the choir 'singing The Lord's Prayer.

George Wilson of Hamilton, II student of Knox College, was one of the principal speakers. taking his text from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Phllipians. He spoke of the frequent indifference. apathy and unconcem of people today for the principles of Christianity. and urg- ed his listeners to follow the ex- ample of Paul. who was never sat- isfied with his other occupations but subordinated them all to the service of God.

The Rev. Finley MacLeod, ad- dressing the gathering, said that
