Bly Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher . MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1964--PAGE 6 'Separate State' Ideas Supported By Levesque "The address given the B'nai Brith Centennial Lodge in Mon- treal by Quebee's minister of nat- ural resources, Rene Levesque, was ada to the realization that a strong a shocker, It forces the rest of Can- faction within the Quebec govern- ment is dedicated to the elevation of that province to the status of a separate state. "English-speaking Canada cannot shrug off this speech as the state- ment of a chronic exhibitionist or professional dissenter or member of the lunatic fringe. It was a deliber- ate statement, in English, by the : man who would probably become . of Quebec if Jean Lesage ecided to return to federal poli- tics, . There was a grim and tasteless significance, too, in the form he ehose for his statement. His aud- ience, taught by bitter history to be sensitive to the position of minor- ities, heard him say, "In Quebec we are the majority and this is. our home." ~ Mr. Levesque called for a "life and death dedication of the French- Canadian people" to achieve "a nat- ional state"... "Our destiny can only be fulfilled here in Quebec" .. "Quebec is on a road on which there is hardly any way back", a road which. leads "to as full a measure of self-determination as can be allow- ed in the world today to a small, compact and very resistant group of people." He went on to say that nothing less than 25 per cent of all revenues collected by the federal government would satisfy Quebec's financial demands. This is.the talk of separatism. Such a Quebec as that envisaged by Mr.: Levesque would make Con- federation impossible; at best, Can- ada would be an uneasy union of two sovereign. states, with the smaller of the two demanding fi- nancial assistance from the latter but yielding little if anything in re- turn. What Mr. Lesage thinks of this, he has not made clear. What is clear is that Confederation is indeed in desperate danger. Hactith: Bill. Omigeions * Ontario's proposed medical Ser- vices Insurance Act was not men- tioned in last week's Speech from the Throne -- not surprisingly, be- éause it is still being studied by a 14-member committee. But the com- mittee has been given several oppor- tunities to note the deficiencies in the draft of the Act, and it has been alerted to the possibility that a plan of the sort contemplated by the government could basically alter the structure of health care in the province. Briefs from the Ontario College of Optometrists and the Ontario Optometrica] Association pointed out that the draft provisions of Bill 168 limit insurance coverage sole- ly to services provided by a physic- ian. But, said the briefs, about two- thirds of all "refraction benefits" performed in the province are per- formed by optometrists who are not physicians. A "refraction bene- fit" was defined as "a complete ophthalmic examination by a prac- titioner well trained in testing all visual functions as well as deter- mining evidence of diseased condi- tions." There are more than 550 optom- etrists practising in Ontario, three times the number of ophthalmolo- gists. Optometrists, located in near- ly every centre of population in the province, see a total of more than 600,000 patients a year. In 60 per cent of communities in which op- tometrists practise they are the only persons available to provide vision care. If the insurance plan were to limit vision care to service by ophthalmologists, many people would wait a long time for eye care. At a particular disadvantage would be the estimated 1,200,000 persons woh may have to have full or par- 'tial subsidy from public. funds to cover their medical insurance pre- miums. And the cost of eye care for the entire insured population would be included in the premium rate structure, even though most people might not be: able to obtain the services they were charged for. Optometry has long been recog- nized as a self-governing profes- sion. It complements but does not duplicate ophthamology. It is, in fact, in a like position to many health services outside the medical profession -- important to health care, yet their future existence too quickly overlooked when govern- ments enter the field of medical care insurance. Eccentrics Hold Ground We hear a great deal these days about the way the welfare state and rampant bureaucracy are wearing away the rugged individualism of -the man in the English street. May- be so. But there is at least some evidnce to be offered in rebuttal. For example, people who refuse to aceept "accepted" ideas may be call- ed-eccentric, among other things -- and Britain is still the greatest ' haven of societies of eccentrics, as shown by a recent list compiled by an American news agency. There's the Ancient Order of Hen- pecked Husbands, which holds reg- ular secret meetings, presumably to. discuss ways of "getting even." : he Oshawa Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The box is supposed to contain a divine- ly inspired prescription for the world's problems.

Ti TAKE The Hien FoAD-- \ ARIZONA ROAD BURNER REPORT FROM U.K. Canadians Anxious To Trace Descent By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One thing which has intrigued me since I came over to London in 1958 is the number of Canadians of Brit- ish descent who are anxious to trace their ancestry back through the centuries, or to trace relatives with whom they have been out of touch for many years. I have received many letters from readers of news- papers in our group asking for assistance in quests of this kind, or for information as to how to go about undertaking the research necessary to trace relatives and ancestors. In some cases I have been able to help. I recall the case of a woman in Oshawa who asked for help in tracing three broth- ers whom she had not seen or heard from since she herself migrated to Canada in 1919. But she gave me sufficient in- formation so that within two weeks I was having tea with two of her brothers, and soon after located the third. But that was only possible because she was able to give me the ad- dresses at which they had lived in 1919. In a letter received recently from one of my readers, how- ever, the problem was much more difficult. He has estab- lished the fact that one of his forbears had migrated from Yorkshire, England to Canada BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO January 20, 1949 Dr. H. B. James was re- elected chairman of the local Board of Health. for his 14th term. Forty-three pupils of South Simcoe School entrance class of 1948 wer: honored at a banquet held by the Home and School Association. Among the guests were Mrs, Grorge Sand as- in 1833. With that bit of infor- mation, he wished to trace back his lineage for the period to that time, 130 years ago. This would involve a very considerable amount of re- search through registry office records, and if he had been able to give the date and place of birth of his ancestor who came to Canada in 1833, the officials at Somerset House, the registry office for England and Wales, might have been of great assistance. That, however, would %svs involved the pay- ment of the necessany fees for searching the ancient records and securing the required certi- ficates. FEES PRO. ibii IVE There are in the United Kingdom, of course, many agencies which make a_ busi- ness of tracing back family histories and making up a genealogical tree. But because of the time- consuming and difficult nature GALLUP POLL of the research involved, the fees which have to be charged by these agencies are very high and especially in the case of a research of the period prior to 1833, the fees would be quite prohibitive for the ordinary individual. For this reason, un- less there is some assurance that the individual is willing and able to mect the heavy research costs involved, I would hesitate to recommend the use of one of these genealogical agencies. PERSONAL CONTACT Many Canadians whom I have met over here have been very successful in tracing their ancestors by going right to the town or village from which they came, and conducting their own inquiries through munici- pal offices of the vicar of the parish church. Church records are often an infallible source of information about family his- tories. And, of course, at the same time, this would afford an opportunity of visiting the places in which the inquirer's family originated. I have several times felt dis- appointed that I was unable to give more assistance to people asking for help in tracing fam- dy histories, but the job of genealogical research is a high- ly specialized one, and quite beyond the resources and time limitations of anewspaper correspondent.

Separat- isi 'no. longer refers to the gulf between certain elements in Quebec and the rest of Can- ada; now it is applied here to the split between politicians and taxpayers right across Canada. This is what happened in the two cities. In Washington, Pres- ident Lyndon Johnson, in his State of the Union address, called for "massive tax cuts" to foster prosperity at home. On the same day, Ottawans were smitten with a triple tax increase, by the federal, provin- cial and municipal govern- ments. Whe is right? The U.S. gov- ernment which aims to increase consumer spending by leaving more money in the pockets of the wage-earner so that he can buy more? Or the Canadian governments, which announce higher taxes with the effect of reducing the amount left in the pockets of the wage-earner? MUST LOWER COSTS At a time when it is desper- ately important that costs of production should be lowered, to make our goods more competi- tive in world markets and even in our own. vulnerable domestic market, it is criminally stupid of our various governments to raise taxes. Such increases will unavoidably be reflected in higher costs for Canadian prod- ucts, j Our politicians seem inter- ested only in having more taxes yielding more money, which they can spend on fripperies of secondary importance. But Pres- ident Johnson has taken the more statesmanlike course of cutting government spending wherever he can, while holding back as far as possible from raising government spending in other fields. The result will predictably be lower costs for U.S. products, while the prices of Canadian products will rise. This in turn means that less Canadian goods will be sold, in foreign markets as well as inside Canada, Our factories will receive smaller orders and more workers will be thrown out of jobs. The businessmen of Canada are deeply interested in the U.S. move to cut taxes, and are facing with considerable alarm the outcome of the opposite courses revealed by this tale of two cities. Almost to a man, fi- nancial and business interests consider that Washington is right, while Ottawa is wrong. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 20, 1964...

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: Thank you for your article about fungus growths beneath the fingernails and toenails. I took 500 units of Griseoful- vin pills, four un'ts a day, and used an ointment. I had this infection for about 20 years and had been to hos- pitals and clinics with no luck and. gave up hope of ever get- ting it cured until I read your article about Griseofulvin, It really did the trick and I can be proud of my nails again. Pass the good news on to others who have this condition --JK, This drug (which is available under a variety of trade names) has cleared up cases which have defied every other known treatment. I don't suppose anybody ever died of fungus of the nails but it can be an annoying, un- sightly, embarrassing condition. To my way of thinking (shared, no doubt, by most doctors) it's the physician's task not only to save lives but to make lives happier and more comfortable. So I'm delighted that JK bene- fitted, and I've had notes from others telling the same story. It's important to let people know about the newer treat- ments that have come along since a few years ago when, like JK. They quit trying cause nothing then a You can't get Griseofulvin at the drug store without a pre- scription. The amount taken has to be rather carefully cal- culated by your physician, Griseofulvin is an antibiotic which works on .fungi rather than bacteria. It isn't a sensa- tional life-saver, and hence has not had the publicity that the "wonder drugs" merited. In its way, it is just as remarkable a scientific achievement, though. : A word of caution: It doesn't control all fungi, but then, neither can the antibiotics con- trol all germs. It does do a remarkable job in the right cases, and has in a few weeks or months cured cases that had defied every for- merly known treatment for years, and sometimes for dec- EUR * AIR FARES DOWN!

Is there any relation between them and an upset stomach?--JW Yes, migraines frequently are ° accompanied by stomach upsets which subside when the head- ache does. ; Dear Dr. Molner: What could be the cause of loose bowels or diarrhea in a man aged 48? This has been bothering him for six months, Has anyone else had this trouble?7--MRS. BK It has happened many times before. The answers? Colitis, "nervous colon," some chronic infection or infestation of the in- testine, cancer (the danger sig- nal of 'some change in bowel habits"), a partial obstruction yet non-cancerous, Shall I con- tinue the list, or is this enough to persuade you (or him!) that when this condition develops, there is only one thing to do. Have your doctor begin check- ing to see which of many pos- sibilities is the cause, And the sooner the better. Note to GS: Yes, I see what it says in the ad you enclose-- that a "'lifetime assurance" is given for this "non - surgical treatment" of ruptures. That means about as much as the "money-back guarantee" that we see so often, I have yet to be- know anybody who got his money back, and I don't think anybody would be the loser if this phrase were to be abolished totally. There are several ways to limp along with a rupture (hernia) but the only depend- able cure I know is surgery.'
