THE BALLYHOO BOYS were
out early beating the brush for
"I Was a Communist for the

here is a show that deserves
every good word ever said about
it. The sponsor claims he has
"the most timely radio program,
in Canada today." No disputing
that either, if every episode can
measure up to the first one. Pro-
gram time is 9 o'clock Wednes-
day night, We'd be interested in
hearing your conu-nents on "I Was
a Communist for the F.B.I."
BASEBALL —BROADCASTS are
likely to compose a larger share
of the CKNX program schedule

The WOAA Major Fastball Series

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, the patron*
saint of nursing, was born May 12, 1820, and
died August 13, 1910, at the advanced age of
90 years.
a The anniversary' of her birthday long has
been observed on this continent as National
Hospital Day, and at the request of Clinton
Women's Hospital Auxiliary, Clinton Town
Council has instructed Mayor G. Wa-Nott to
proclaim Monday, May 12, as "National Hospi-
tal Day" in' order "to pay tribute to all who
serve in hospitals—doctors, nurses and hos-
pital personnel—tending the sick and injured,
bringing health and healing to those who need
hospital care."
The usual ceremonies marking the day will
take place at Clinton Public Hospital, and an-
nouncement concerning these will be made in
next week's NEWS-RECORD. Town Council
has authorized a Hospital Tag Day to be held
on Saturday, May 10, by the Hospital Auxiliary.
Mrs. Margaret Rhynas, a local lady who
is Public Relations Administrator for the
WoMen's Hospital Auxiliaries of Ontario, pays
loving tribute to Florence Nightingale, "The
Lady with the Lamp," • in the following words:
In remembrance to-day at a wide open gate
A vision we see of a dear Patron Saint,
Who tread aisles of ,p4in through sickness and
gloom
With naught but a lantern to brighten the
room.
The men who lay wounded soon learned to
caress
The shadow portrayed on the wall .she passed.
Her womanly heart, understanding their plight,
NeVer failed to appear on the aisles every night,
With her little , camp lantern to see all was
right. -
When pain and home-sickness could scarcely
be borne,
This angel of mercy would greet the forlorn
With a word of good cheer and a prayer in
her smile
As she noiselessly pasted down each hospital
aisle.
Little wonder, her name is held sacred, and
each year
We pause to pay homage and her memory
revere,'
How splendid the° language of "Him" who
while here
She made possible "Enchancing" it,
after year,
year,
Would You Like To Be An M. P.?
(By R. J. DEACHMAN,
I AM GOING TO TELL YOU how to win
an election. I should be able to do it,. Some
years ago I lost one in circumstances which
should have made it a lead-pipe cinch.
The old style campaign is dead as Caesar's
Ghost. The great objective in politics, old
style, was to prove that the candidate on the
other side knew nothing. If you could prove
it you felt that you were sure of election, If,
in addition to that, you could humiliate: him
by proving your own matchless ability, you
would then be top of the walk, assured of a
seat in the House of Commons and after years
of hard work, a Senatorship—if only you kept
your health and never broke from the party
line.
A good MP should be able to go before
an audience and answer any question that
comes along. He can, but perhaps he shouldn't
do it. The audience may think he is a bit
too glib—that he is simply putting on a show.
If he wants to play safe on this he must be
well informed. Suppose the question is diffi-
cult he can answer it in part, then tell 'the
inquiring voter that there is something else •
which should be added. Admit that he has
not the whole facts, then wind up with this:
"Give me your address, I will write you to-
morrow"—and do it, keep your promise. The
voter will never forget a promise of that
kind--if you fail to keep it he may wipe you
off his slate.
It's Not Difficult
But how can a man, right off the bat,
answer questions which may come up in a
Meeting of that kind? It's not difficult. There
are a number of questions which will be asked
night after night. Some one will want to
know about the national debt and whether
there is any hope of paying it off.
The total figures are easy to remember.
The answer to queries about paying it off are
not likely to be difficult. A tremendous debt
such as France carries has a real weight to it
but against our Canadian debt we have sub-
stantial assets and the country is only, partly
developed. It will grow in wealth and in-
fluence through the years.
Now what about expenditures? That de-
pends! Depends on what we get for the money
we spend. The worst of all expenditures are
ex-MP for North Huron)
those for war. Yet they may be absolutely
essential. No expense is too great if it pre-
vents invasion of the country, so the amount
spent depends on the risk involved—it is not
easy to arrive at a sane conclusion.
Doubtful Expenditures
Here's another problem—put it down. in
the note-book on your mind—get ready to
answer it. I don't like to make this statement,
' but to tell the truth, expenditures are often a
bit of a racket. Some are made with the
object of—finish that sentence yourself! Sup-
posing the party in power comes down with a
hefty bunch of expenditures then put them
to this test: Is there a better alternative use
for the expenditures now proposed? If so, let's
find it. That's the real issue. Balance the
proposal presented against other possible means
of achieving the same results at less cost. The
efficiency of the MP quite often depends on
his persistency, on his capacity' to drive home
a point and make it stick, Abovel all try to
bring out the facts.
Keep Working
The House of Commons is a delighftul
Place to loaf, to loaf again and yet to loaf.
The fact that so few indulge in that perform-
ance is a tribute to the members. Suppose we
had two groups of earnest MP's who would get
together in an effort to avoid waste, to in-.
crease efficiency. Could they do it? Would
they be able to accomplish anything? Yes,
that is -quite possible. It would, however, call
for matchless patience. Men get tired of acting
as' watch dogs of the treasury. It is not a
profitable occupation. In ,time the average MP
changes his mind. He no longer wants to be
critical, he approves. Let us assume now that
he has won his second election, he feels a bit
fagged, He has a few more grey hairs. He
looks down the corridor of the years ahead.
He counts the years again. Can he make it?
The Senate beckons, he is no longer a critic.
In the end he becomes a Senator, safe home
at last!
NOTE: A final word: Never under-
estimate your audience, speak up to
them, not down. The quiet man in.
the back seat may know more than
you do. He may be able to teach you
something.

Quick Work
A FEW DAYS AGO, reports The Financial
Post, a lady shopper from a fashionable Toron-
to suburb entered a hardware store and asked
fdr a gallon of one of the popular new rubber
base paints. She specified the paint by number
because a special decorating chart showed it
would be "just the thing to go with my lime
drapes and taupe rug." She added: "You see
I'm redoing my entire living room in time for
a party tonight."
No, she wasn't "wacky." The dealer made
a point of finding out. She was able to enter-
tain her guests that evening in a completely
redecorated room—ceilings, walls, woodwork.
What's more, the lady had done the entire
job herself and had enough energy left over
to play the part of an entertaining hostess
that evening.
