The four Nurses who received their diplomas were: Miss Mary Cook, Lucknow; Miss Florence McLeod, Ripley; Miss Isob- -el Murray, Teeswater and Miss Flor- ence. Aldington, London. The stage was beautiful decorated with baskets of spring flowers and roses behind which the graduating ,class was seated. Dr. R. C. Redmond was chairman and presented a program which de- lighted the audience. He 'welcomed those present out behalf of the 'Hos- pital Board, the superintencle.nt and staff. He told of a Hospital that he had seen at Barcelonia Spain which was under the seats of the Atnpithea tre where the bull fighters who come -to grief were tended. He also quoted statistices to show how many diseases -were,being brought under control. The ost notable being the control of iptheria due to toxiod treatment. He classesthis graduation as an unique event as four were graduating, one of the largest classes since the hospital was founded 25 years ago. Mayor Hanna, in his address wel- comed the visitors on behalf of the Town and congratulated the nurses on their successful conclusion of their .efforts. He said the people of Wing - ham were proud of the hospital, proud of the Woman's Auxiliary and proud of the staff. He told of the splendid equipment at the hospital which is equal to any hospital its size in Ont- ario. He spoke high of the men who in the past had done so much for the hospital. especially mentioning the late Dr. Kennedy, the late R. Van - stone, the late John A. MacLean and C. P. Smith who recently had moved from town. Rev. E. C. Smith pastor of the Bap- tist Church also addressed the grad- uates. He told thein to cultivate cheer fulness and said the great reward is not a fee but the doing of a perfect piece of work. He said success is mea- sured not by what the world gives us but by what we give the world. God called women to be nurses just as he calls men to be ministers and one must be a Christian to be a sue- • eessful follower of a loving Christ. The opening prayer was also given by Mr. Smith. The Florence Nightingale Pledge was administered by Rev. Kenneth MacLean and the presentation of dip- lomas was made by Dr. R. L. Stewart . who spoke kindly of the late Dr. Margaret Calder who had been pres- ent for all the graduating excerises of the Hospital except this one and who had taken such an active inter- est in the work of the nurses.

The nominating convention called by the United Farmers to select an independent candidate to contest the riding of Huron -Bruce was unsuccess- ful, . at the Town Hall, Wingham, on Friday afternoon. With a fair crowd of about 100 pre- sent, Mr. T. A. Cameron, President of the Association, called the meet- ing to order and stated the purpose of the meeting. Before nominations were called for a discussion took place regarding the advisability of placing a candidate in the field at so late a date, and if a candidate was selected should he be pledged to the prohibition issue, Af- ter a number had expressed their views, several of which were oppos- ed to placing a candidate in the field; and binding him to the temperance cause, Mr. R. J. Scott, President of U.F.O. of Ontario, explained the at- titude of Provincial Executive. He said that any individual organization could do as they wished provided that they did not interfere with the policy of the U.F.O., and that the liquor question should be taken out of pol- itics and should be decided by a ref- erendum, a policy that the farmers have accepted for some time. The United Farmers of Ontario rid- ing associations have complete auton- omy in regard to immediate political activities and it is within their power to place U.F.O. candidate in the field or endorse independent or C.C.F. can- didates.
