CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May. 6, 1965 ~ CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here lot the press the people's rights, ‘pantatala, unawed by influence and uabribed by ae ‘Established in Nineteen’ Hundred ‘and Forty-Seven’ | Poet's s Words Stil Have Potency Today In an editorial last week commenting ‘on some remarks of Prime Minister Pear- tgon’s made in an interview with Weekend jMagazine, we said that possibly the words ty; Canadian poet F."R. Scott, quoted in ‘The New Yorker about former "Prime Min- ‘ister Mackenzie King, still’ have potency iwhen appliéd to the féderal Liberal party jend government today. That poem, missed last week, is {printed ‘below: ‘ i x *. He had no shape Because he never took sides, And no sides Because he never allowed them, to take shape. f He ‘skillfully avoided what was wrong ‘Without saying what. was right, And never let his on the one hand Know what his on the other. was doing.

A time ‘of the’ year when members of the B.C. : Hospitals’ Association ask the public to ! focus their attention on local hospital act- ! ivities. i The hospital in a community can :’mean many things to many persons. To the ; doctor it means a workshop without whose } privileged use he could offer ‘but limited i service to a patient. To the nurse and to : the technician, to the dietitian, the orderly Hl j.and the aide, the mechanic, the plumber, :'the ‘carpenter and the cleaner it is the | outlet for personal service and for the “ practice of various skills, H Perhaps even more, as employer of i-mecessary hands, it is the greatest econo- gram that leads to complete qualification. -To the man, woman and child in need, it can be the place of -Jast reésort. To others, a haven of hope: wher new. stren- * gth is found and new. futures are’ planned To the citizen anxious ‘to respond to’ the urge’ to give community service, it is a vehicle that transports ‘him into a wor Id of shocking challenge .or gentle “assis. tance, It is the medium that enables him, ©“ as. a volunteer worker, to share-With others the responsibilities as.a U ient care team. To the service motivated businessman it becomes d project enticingly worthy of a small measure of his time and a large : mie factor in the lives of th ds of in- ; dividuals and in the domestic affairs of i their families. } To the commercial world it is the -: source of much potential revenue, the i:lifestream of business large and small. To i aspiring young men and women, the hos- pital is the educational centre for self- Preparation for specialized service to.the community. To graduate men and women iit is the essential élement to practical ex- x perience gained by the application of skills the . all important final step in a Tong’ pro- ‘drowned forests of this province ithe, shame of past administrations: but Vay policy maker; joint participant in an arena of great humanitarian concern. - All these your hospital can be, and i is, to many people. But to all people, your hospital: i is one thing; it is a member of the coimminnity, a yeliable partner in timés - . A friend whose trust never bends to the influence of race, nor - religigh, nor financial position. A friend, indeed, whose help deservés the simple re. turn of Eoramunity: interest and support. = Contributed on Reserv: ir Clearing. Under éontract to B.C.
