4 The Cmadian Statemnun, Bownmnfle, Aug. le, Me0 EDITORIAL COMMENT The Sweepstakes- Myth An idea that keeps cropping up is that sweepstakes would be a painless, efficient way to raise all the inoney needed for new hospital construction ti Canada. It may be an attractive idea, but it is pure niyth. The most recent support for the Idea cornes from James Wallcer; Liberal MP for Toronto's York Centre riding. Ottawa-operated sweeps, the press re- ports him as saying, could pull in more than $50,000,000 a year for federal hos- pital building grants. Aside from the fact that this sum would be only haif of what i8 being spent annually on hos- pital construction, if a lottery could proviçle that amount the most surprised reole in the world would be those whooperate the Irish hospital sweeps, the most successful such undertaking In the world. After paying for prizes and expen- ses the Irish sweepstakes turns 21 per cent of its ticket money over to the hospitals. Over a 33-year period the ýy ment to the hospitals has averaged 4,270,000 annually. Even with its worldwide selling campaign, the gross sales of this very successful sweep- stakes has averaged only $20,00,00 a« year. For a Canadian lottery to provide $50,000,000 a year, as Mr. Walker sug- gests, the gross sales would have to be about a quarter of a billion dollars a year. That would be about 13 times the ticket sales of the Irish or, to put it1 another way, we would have to have1 the equivalent of an Irish sweeps about1 every four weeks. It might be argued1 MacDuff Otti SOUND OFF OTTAWA - The Canadian Govern- ment is quite prepared to hold another Federal-Provincial conference on Medi- care. But for the if e of them the Fed- eral officiais can't understand what the Premiers will find to talk about be- cause there bave been so many con- ferences already on the subject that both sides are about ail talked out. However, at the Annual Meeting of the Provincial Premiers held early ln August in Toronto the Premiers in- dicated that they did not like many aspects of the Medicare plan as pro- f osed by Ottawa. This bas been wrong- y interpreted in some quarters as a shattering setback to the schemne. Only Premiers Thatcher of Saskatchewan and Robicbaud of New Brunswcik in- dicated they were ln agreement with the Federal Plan. Premier Bennett of Alberta came out flatly and firmly opposed to Medi- care. He rejects anysuch scheme that has compulsion in it. He believes in unfettered free -enterprise. Premiers Bennett oi Brîtisb Cqlumbia, and Sxjnall- 'wood of Newfoundland were not at the Toronto conference. The Premiers who were critical of the Plan were not in agreement over their criticisms. Some voiced objections because they said there had been a lack of consultation. This protest brought strong reactions from Federal }Iealth and Welfare Department spokes- men. They pointed out that Medicare bias been the subject of several confer- ences. There bas been more consulta- tion over that scheme than probably Ény other shared plan implemented by Ottawa. It would appear that the Premiers either bave not been in close contact witb their Ministers of Health, or they have decided to take a critical stand hoping to get more money from the Federal Treasury. In any case the Fed- eral Government is prepared to cal enother conference if that's what the Premiers want. Ottawa is not adopting a "take it or leave it" attitude. If the provinces come up with nome constructive proposals for alter- ing the Federal plan that are reason-. able then the Federal Government is ready to make some compromises. That rnucb emerged from the storm of words that blew up when the Premiers u3ounded off. Prime Minister Pearson was ques- tioned about Ottawa's attitude when be held a press conference shortly after the Premîer's meeting. The Prime Min- ister sbrugged bis shoulders when ask- ed if there would be another conference. He said if the Premiers made such a 1 equest the Government would cal sucb a Health Ministers conference if the Premiers wanted it in addition to the regular Federal-Provincial confer- ntj %anabxan that a Canadian lottery- could, devote, Iess of its income to prizes and more to hospitals but t1te fact -19. that if it were to coipete wth the Irish lottery, as it would have to, it could not offer, smaller prizes. Even the fact that lotte ries would produce so littie revenue in not the most compelling argument against their legalization. It is often said that it lus hypocritical to permit race track bett- ing and yet prohibit other' forms of gambling. But by that logic we should permit ail forms of gambling - sweep- stakes, siot machines, gaming tables, and so on. Few of those who want legal- ized sweepstakes would support that argument. The problem, really, is to decide on the degree of gambling that should be allowed. On that basis, as well as on the basis that they are no substi- tute for taxation, sweepstakes serve no good purpose. There is one final point, Lotteries have the longest record of legality of any form of gambling. Augustus, Nero and other Roman emperors used them to finance building projects. In England the first legal lottery was held in 1569 with Queen Elizabeth I as patroness. In North America there were lotteries as early as the l7th century, chîefly for the benefit of schools, churches and public works. But even as long as there have been legal lotteries, they have al- ways been acknowledged as a tax on the poor. -Clip Sheet 'awa Report ence. The regular conference is to be convened late in October or early in November by Prime Minister Pearson. At that time the Premiers will be free to raise questions on Medîcare. Earlier, in September, the Federal-Provincial tax structure committee will meet. It may consider the costs of Medicare in the context of the Division of Tax Revenues. Federal authorities are amazed at some of the criticisms raised at the Premiers' meeting. Quebec's representa- tive said his province agreed with the principle of Medicare but objected to being told that the province "must join" the plan by July 1, 1967. The Federal officiais say that here is clearly a case of misinformation. The Federal Medi- care legisiation, which bas already re- ceived first reading in Parliament, made it clear that provinces can join the plan after the starting date of July 1 next year. The bill will be before the Com- mons for second reading in the autumn session. If another Medicare conference of Health Mipisters is eu.mmoned- the proposed 'égis'"l"' "1ation 'nafot be passed until the next Parliament. Mr. Pearson bas pointed out that tbe Federal Bill provides for Ottawa paying haîf the national average cost of Medicare plans in each province. The plans have to meet certain require- ments laid down by the Federal Gov- ernment. The Prime Minister takes the posi- tion, "if the provinces don't want to participate, that is entirely Up to tbemr." However, it is not quite that simple. Mr. Pearson and bis Health and Wel- fare Mînister MacEachen are pledged to proceed with the legîsiation on a high priority basis. They would like to see as many of the ten provinces as possible enrolled in the scheme. They recognize that the Premiers will be trying to get more money out of Ot- tawa. It is the old political gamne of "gouging" the Federal Treasury. The provinces - much as they protest that they are not "ganging Up" on Ottawa - bave f ormed a more or less united front on the Medicare Issue. But when the chips are down and Ottawa takes the position that the provinces can "écomein and have haîf their Medi- care costs paid or stay out and go without a Medicare Plan, or pay the costs themselves, the answer seems ap- parent. Thatcher of Saskatchewan lias pointed the way. He is no Socialist. He iînherited a Medicare scheme when hie took over the government in tbat prov- ince from the C.C.F. He welcomes the Federal scheme. Why not? It means that Ottawa will be paying baîf of bis Medicare bills. One by one the other provinces wîll fall in Ene. »t4temu- Unveil Historical Plaque On July 20, 1966, an historical plaque commemorating the Honorable Gordon D.

Wîth crowds bigger than ever and many new faces for the first time ever.

Ned Landry and others did not play. I haven't the answer but I intend to get it. This happening makes the choice left to say, only two, who are, of course, Johnny Mooring and Ed Gyurki.

So once agair est personal rE truly, .Sugar and à A VISIT TO THE HOOMETOWN Spent a week in the old hornetown recently, and, as usual, it was anything but a rest. The weatber was perfect, but the hospitality was exhausting. It's not really my hometown. I didn't grow up there, physically. But I spent a decade there in the newspaper business, and maybe I grew up there in other ways. Anyway, when you walk down the main street, and. every sec- ond person stops to shake your hands and ask about your family, and tell you what their kids are doing now, its your hometown. *A smalltown changes and yet re- mains the same. A few businesses have changed hands. Some of the stores have new fronts. The paint on the hotel bas been changed from passionate pur- ple to ghastly green. The shady, tree- lined street on which you used to live bas been raped: the stately trees cut to ugly stumps, as tbe street is to be widened. 5 But the biggest c'hanges are in the people. The young nmen you used to work and play with are grizzlcd or as bald as eggs. The young womren you used to look at with sone interest because of their big eycs are sagging and dentured. The lovahie kids ilhat your kids used to play with are hulk- ing adolescents, sone of themn delin- quents witb police records. And your oid partner, once apparently indestruc- tible, is taking eight different colors of pis. Despite tbe changes, there ts con- tinuity as comfortable as an oId f isb- ing bat. The Chamber of Comme~rce is stili fighting over store bours. The In- dustrial Commission is on the verge of announcing a huge newinur. Tbe fire brigade races periodically to the iowf dump, where the inciner- ating process bas got out of hand be- cause the caretaker bas bogged off for a beer. Some of the local characters have gone to their reward, but many are still around. The local lawyer stili plays 41 Spice Dy ili ilIII-à his electric organ between clientie. Llocal millionaire stili slugs bags of m1t and feed into the back of his '66 model, and lugs it out to feed bis cattle. The barber, with whom you once shared a riotous Legion zone rally, still quips wîth bis custorners, though he went off to fight in a war over 50 years ago. The canny Scot chortles as he tells vout bis shore lots are now going over V400. The same waiter insults the sa fecus-, tomers, in the pub. The same beer bar-, rel in human forrn sits in the saine seat in the same pub. The saine people stili corne to the same cottages. Except ilhat the preg. nant young matron was a skinny kid in bare feet last time you saw her. And the handsome young cbap who works at the summer store wvas a tyke called Johnny-Cake Iast time you saw him.- Howvever, it's good to get back for a visit, And il 's neyer uneventful. Kcpt my hand in by writing a few news stories for the papcr. Took the 1family to the Indian reserve., saine beautiful view and easy-going inhabi- tants. Dropped in on old friends and got ail the Iatest dope on who wa's going crazy, and who wvas running around with whom. Had a becr at The Cedar Rail,. most unique bar in the country, and with the best prices. It's a shed on a- farrn, full of toal)s and baled bav. A cedar rail exlends across the front. You stand there with your farmer friend, Jean on the rail and look at the lake, down below. We've secil deer aný bear. from there, and covered local IvIlitics and talked cattle. Got stuck in the sand at the beach, to the rage of rny wife. She went flving off to find a tour truck, in a fr iend's car. Wbile she was away, 1 was pulled out easilv by a man with no arms, who bad a chain in bis trunk, a wife to, drive bis car, and a gaggle of kids to help push. Sounds like fic- tion, but its fact. It could only happen in or aroundý the old hometown. .C sTom he is a pers- 6 CK K I mie n hsNesapr (an Be Major Force possible.
