Publisher : SATURDAY, OCT om gage --~ PAGE 4 New Areas of Agreement The Premiers of Ontario and Que- bec this week joined with newspa- permen from the two provinces in discussion of problems of Canadian unity, The seminar was organized and conducted by the newspapers. It delved into national differences, sought solutions and -- most sensi- bly ---- avoided suggesting pat an- sewers. 1 As seems par for the course at- sessions where dialogue is initiated much was said which is left to wide _interpretation. Premier Lesage, for instance, spoke of the possibility of "unity in diversity" for the two provinces, He did not explain how wl this would work except that it may be leading to a better understanding between French and English Can- , | ada, For his part, Premier Robarts | referred to the new heights being ' achieved in Ontario-Quebec co- operation and said "what we really must battle is apathy". Nothing of i sweeping significance can be pinned to such statements. However, an interesting consen- sus rose from the speeches and dis- cussion periods, A strong implica- tion was seen that if the two Can- adian giants (Ontario and Quebec) Well-deserved praise for the gen- eral practitioner came from his col- leagues in medicine at the meeting of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. In an era of specialization, the wide-range of re- aponsibilities willingly undertaken by. the competent general practi- tioners can be easily overlooked, Thus, it was fitting that the col- lege brought him to the public spot- light at its convention.

But through groups from many professions and _ vocations with an endeavor in common meet- ing together, a widening under- standing can develop. "Areas of agreement can grow rather than differences being magnified by dis- tance. Praise Merited By GPs uate education in Ontario for for- eign students, the college must sometimes face criticism when it re- fuses licensure to a foreign gradu- ate with a poor medical undergrad- uate education, even though he has been successful in passing speciality examinations of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Can- ada. But the college must license doctors to do medicine, surgery, ob- stetrics, psychiatry the whole field of practice. It is not surprising that a man whose training and back- ground are judged on reasonable grounds to be inadequate for licen- sure, may yet by virtue of years of specialized training, pass the spec- iality examinations of, for example, the Royal College. "Speciality training does not in itself guarantee good basic medical education and general competence, Nor are those who pass speciality examinations to be regarded as nec- essarily more clever and able than in general practice which requires -- and attracts ---men of outstanding ability, imdeed, prob- lems with practitioners with spec- iality qualifications have helped to influence the college to seek new leg- islation to edal with professional in- ity qualifications have helped to in- fluence the college to seek new legis- lation to deal with professional in- competence." doctors Te PN We QUEBEC EDITORS' COMMENT a This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the.

So we have the Canada Elections Act. & Administrators are needed for the 265 ridings across the coun- try. So we have Riding Return- ing Officers. In Ontario Riding, that man is Roger Gordon Conant of Greenwood, Between now and Election Day, and even after, he- will solve virtually hundreds of big and small problems with the aid of his '"bible"--the Act. STAFF RECRUITED Lining up staff is a big prob- lem. Enumerators, returning officers and poll clerks, revision officers. And his own small staff at his Whitby headquarters, Voters lists have to be printed and checked, revision courts set up, advance polls planned, Mr. Conant has to be ready to go anywhere in the riding to answer questions, explain pro- cedures And then there Night. "It will be hectic," he says with a smile, But there is neith- er resignation nor concern in his voice. He likes the work, His profession is law and this training no doubt helps. All. riding returning officer appointments are made by the Cabinet. Mr, Conant's came through last December, The first thing he did was to resign his office as vice-president: of the federal riding Liberal Asso- ciation. "IT must be completely impar- tial,"' he said. "My job is to see is Election that the election runs smooth- ly." (Riding returning officers may not vote, except in the un- likely event of a tie vote.) FATHER PREMIER His position as returning offi cer is just one manifestation of his interest in politics. And the interest came early. First Word Of 'His. late father, Gordon D, Conant, was Premier of On- tario '(1942-43) and Attorney General from. 1937 to 1942. One of Roger Conant's child- thood memories is of the crowds of people waiting to see his father on Sunday mornings at the family home in Oshawa, His mother, who still lives in the. family home, is a daughter of the late Senator Ernest D. Smith who was appointed by Robert Borden in 1908, His wife, Frances Allan Conant, is the daughter of a former member of the provin- cial parliament for West York-- J. P. Allan, In " addition, the first Roger Conant was governor of Massa- chusetts back in the 1600's, So the question was natural, Will he ever run for office? "To say that I'm not interested would be hypocritical,' he said, "I might be tempted' in the future when the children (Allan, 14, and Armand, 12) are more independent, "The family comes first, And if I never try it I'll have no regrets. I suppose I can't be belligerent enough. I tend to see both sides of an issue, | guess my jaw training is responsible." Roger Conant was born in May, 1922, in the family home here in Oshawa at the corner of Wentworth and Simcoe strets, "Tt was surrounded by apple orchards, and we had a barn and chickens," he remembered, "T used to take the street car down Simcoe to Port Oshawa, and up to Centre Street (now E. A. Lovell) public school." He is the youngest of three children. Genevieve, a_ sister, died in 1937. Douglas, now 51, is secretary-treasurer of the fam- ily-owned (on their mother's side) E. D. Smith jam company. Roger went to Oshawa (now O'Neill) Collegiate. A top stu- dent, he won the Murray John- ston cane as outstanding boy in his final year, Graduation Received When In Normandy He went to University of To- ronto, graduating (1944) "'in ab- sentia" as he puts it, in Arts. His first word of his graduation was received in Normandy, France, He arrived with the first re- inforcements, three days after the initial landing.. He served with a British unit, the South Wales Borderers, Later he was wounded and in- valided home. He did personnel work at Manning Depot in To- ronto, He held the rank of Cap- tain, It was 1947 before he got to law school and three years later he began to practise in Ajax. His father, who had been ap- pointed Master of the Supreme Court at Osgoode in 1943, re- signed in 1951 to practise with his son in Oshawa. Three years later his father died of cancer and Roger got a partner to run the Oshawa olf- fice and he returned to Ajax The practice was split and he was on his own-for a few years before he picked up another partner, Finally, he sold out the practice and went into labor and corporation. law, He remembers: the years in Ajax as happy ones. '"The com- munity, was small, . filled with veterans, some still in school, and university graduates." He 'threw himself into com- munity life, neipink organize a Rotary branch, a. hospital, church. He was the first deputy reeve in-Ajax, He was presi dent of the Ajax Liberal Asso- ciation He also helped buy the local tne tg AA .. ON freien tte hydro system and sat as chair- man of the Ajax Hydro Com- mission, "Tt was all challenging, inter- esting and vital,' he says 'to- day, Mr. Conant put a uniform on again, in 1961. He was posted to Oshawa, in charge of recruiting. He was in about a year before resigning to go to the head office (in Toronto) of the Canadian Manufacturers Association as manager of their legal depart- merit and industrial relations. Injthe spring of 1964 he went to Honeywell Controls Limited as manager of personnel and in- dustrial relations. He is on leave from this job now. In 1963, Mr. Conant built a house in Greenwood on 2% acres, This is home for the boys and his wife whom he married in 1946. "T met my wife at a 'come- single-go-ho me-double' dance when I was in my second year at U-of T."' They were married in 1946, Mrs. Conant, who is a Con- servative, calls both the mar- riage and the political differ- ence "democracy in action', When speaking of his life and future plans,-Mr,-Conant_ often uses the term "'we"', -It-is not the so-called "royal we". mean- ing 'me', It is an almost unconscious inclusion of his wife in the con- versation whether or not she is m the Mr, Conant same seems to have little time for hobbies. He reads a lot, both from necessity and for pleasure, He -gets out- doors for sailing (summer) and skiing (winter), owt rae RR Nt eM TOUR BY LESAGE Fore _It's Youth Of West Who Seek Comprehension ign investment may carry to be the voices of a truly tongue to one's matérmat-tan- our _commercial--deficit- from. bicultural nation, To give the guage and having. wide hori- day to day, but itimately our minorities of the Prairies all zons from a cullural point of economy is living on credit, . .. their school rights does not View is a source of personal ldentical thoughts apply to threaten to shake up the proy- enrichment and a. practical Quebeg, When Mr, Lesage tells inces, It rather brings them step toward the country's Weste separation for Que- fully inte Canadian bicultural- unity bec S$ "economic impossi- ism, one of this country's hall- In brief, it is the privilege bili he is stating the' ob- marks, and hardens them of the Orange lodges to ob- viol& If Quebec had to set against Americanization ject to the type of inquiry on up her own international or Contrary. to the, tendency in bilingualism and _ bicultural- interprovincial accounts, her Quebec, it seems to be the ism, but it remains that these balance of payments would be youth of the West who seek are two ways of creating har- even more deeply in the red comprehension and -want to mony in Canada.

There were recruiting offices in many parts of the world, In the midst of this work came a diversion that sent him rush- ing to Skagway. Owing to the Alaska boundary dispute, Can- ada did not have access to the Yukon from the Pacific. There was not only the gold to be considered, but businessmen in Vancouver and Victoria were competing with those of Seattle and San Francisco for trade avait i mn i RQGER GORDON CON SRN L soem T Pram with the booming gold mining area, Sir Clifford took the govern- ment steamer Quadra to Skag- way, where he landed on Oc- tober 9, 1897 and went right into the area to see for himself. His party included NWMP officer Major Walsh who had kept Sit- ting Bull and his followers under control when they sought refuge in Canada, Early in 1898 Sir Clifford was told that the U.S.A was assembl- ing a military force in Portland, Oregon, and was planning to send it to control the passes to the Yukon, He sent secret or- ders to NWMP officers to get there first and establish posts at the summits of the passes.

The inflexible attitude of the combatants, particularly India, is producing some signs of irri- tation. The United States is being vague about the future of its huge aid and military programs for India and Pakistan, Military supplies have been cut off en- tirely. The same misgivings are be- lieved here to be felt in Can- ada, Britain, West Germany and perhaps other countries that have helped India and Pak- istan, ; In turn, India and Pakistan are impatient with any position that smacks of fence-sitting in judging the bitter Kashmir. is- sue.

Is India, as now seems to be the case, more convinced than ever that the Soviet Union is its only true friend? The other is the degree of provocation that the situation is giving India to make its own nuclear weapons, in the hope of matching China and ° warning Pakistan, Observers here say it is natural to assume that India is thinking a lot more about it. China became the fifth nu- clear country a year ago. But a decision by India to join the ranks of nuclear powers would be a much more serious blow to hopes of limiting those ranks. India has been regarded as a country outside of--almost im- mune to--the arms race, and more concerned with economie than military development, If India falls into the nuclear ranks, people here ask, can Pakistan, Indonesia, Dwrael, the United Arab Republic and other countries with the wherewithal be far behind?
