OTTAWA REPORT Emergency Levies Facing Court Test THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1963----PAGE 6 Language Only Symbol In Quebec's The Pearson government is pro- ceeding with its plans for an in- quiry into biculturalism in Canada, but there is strong evidence to sug- gest that by the time the inquiry opens the bicultural issue will be a sideshow, and the main issue will be the Canadian constitution, That seems to be the way that even Quebec moderates are head- ing -- and it must be remembered that there would be no. inquiry if there had been no agitation in Quebec. The other provinces have their differences, and many feel put upon from time to time, but they have 'not contemplated any wholesale revision of the terms of Confederation. The debate -- and it will inevi- tably become a debate after preli- minary discussion -- is between Quebec and the rest of Canada, and it will concern not so much the extent to which French may be poken by Canadians not of French heritage but the terms under which the provinces have been joined in one sovereign state. The big issue will be the British North America Act. The separatists in Quebec are only a small minority; the terrorist group is even smaller. The mo- derates are opposed to the separa- tists, but let us not feel complacent about that, because they are also critical of the terms of Confedera- tion. They want more provincial autonomy, which automatically means a weakening of the central authority. Some of them even pro- pose that the BNA Act be scrapped and that Canada become not a con- federation of provinces but a loose federation of largely autonomous states. It is quite possible that even the so-called moderates are a minority, and that a substantial part of Que- bec's population couldn't care less ebout the current agitation; at least that is one impression gained by a traveller through the rural areas and the lower income areas of cities in Quebec. But the voices of agita- tion cannot be ignored, because they are the voices of the leaders of Agitation opinion. They will carry the masses with them, The spokesmen of French Canada are quick to list what they call tra- ditional grievances. Piligualism does not head the list. Most prominent complaint seems to derive from a sense of inferiority; the French- Canadian, they say, has not been given an even break. The Quebec educational system must bear at least part of the blame for that, of course, but there is also the feeling -- justified in some cases -- that domination of the business world by English-speaking Canadians has led to discrimination against. the Que- becois. And the strong, recurring theme of complaint is the "minor- ity position" of the province itself. In language and culture, the French Canadians are not a minor- ity. Canada now has ee big groups, almost evenly balanced in numbers: People of English-speak- ing origin, people of French-speak- ing origin, and people of other lan- guage origins. Actually, people of French origin outnumber those of English: origin, 5,540,846 to 4,195,- 175, according- to the 1961 census. But the Quebecois feel outnumbered by the other provinces, all of whom conduct their business in English. Language, then, is simply a symbol of the power of the "others". "That brings us back again to the constitution, to the relations be- tween provinces and the central government. This is the issue which must be thoroughly debated and somehow resolved if the structure of Confederation is to be preserved, It is doubtful if Mr. Pearson's proposed royal commission on bicul- turalism is the proper vehicle for such an inquiry. It can only inves- tigate and recommend, and after that the federal authority can only discuss the recommendations with the provinces, It would be better in the first place to widen the terms of reference and convene a federal- provincial conference, as proposed by Mr. Diefenbaker. This would not only save precious time but would lay the foundation for concrete action. Work Deserves Support Members of the IODE will be holding their annual tag day in Oshawa on Saturday, to raise funds for the widespread service work that is carried on in this community, the province and the nation by this patriotic organization with its 984 chapters and 31,000 members across Canada. The IODE record is a sparkling one, The chapters raise and dis- burse about a million dollars an- nually, the money being spent on projects that range from education to citizenship. In the field of educa- tion, for example, the IODE spends a quarter of a million dollars yearly on assistance to 2,264 Canadian schools, on 1,649 scholarships, bur- garies and grants, on schools "adopted" in the West Indies, on prize books provided for schools in the Canadian Arctic, and on special educational community work.

In Canada the IODF spends $400,- 000 annually on welfare, in addition to the thousands of hours of volun- tary community service given by members. It also aids overseas countries, shipping $100,000 worth of relief supplies to Europe, Africa, Korea and the West Indies, In ad- dition, chapters undertake the spon- sorship of destitute and refugee children, The IODE seeks to maintain and sustain good Commonwealth rela- tions by awarding post-graduate scholarships and providing medical training and hospital maintenance in the West Indies, Ghana, India and Pakistan. A special Eskimo project has been the building of a community hall at Frobisher Bay in the eastern Arctic, and plans are under way for one at Tuktoyaktuk in the west- ern Arctic.. The IODE extends a welcome to immigrants, helps to arrange Eng- lish and citizenship classes, presents greeting cards to new citizens and assists with Commonwealth and citizenship ceremonies, That is just a bare outline of some of the activities of the IODE. The annual tag day provides some of the financial means to enable this splendid organization to con- tinue its work.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspendent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--London's Knights- bridge district; one of the oldest and most picturesque with its wealth of Victorian and Georg- jan buildings, is to be com- pletely transformed. After a wrangle which has gone on for the past six years, the whole _area is to be re-devloped at an estimated cost of $90 million, The area, which contains some of London's best-known scenes, will be transformed into what some of the critics of the scheme have called a "con- crete jungle." But their objec- tions, which have kept. the scheme hanging fire for six years, have been of no avail. YOUR HEALTH Sir Joseph Keith, minister of housing and local government, has approved the joint project of the London County Council and Major Leslie Marler's Cap- ital and Counties Property Company. He went a step fur- ther, and also confirmed the necessary compulsory purchase (or expropriation) orders for acquisition of the properties which will be demolished, GIGANTIC SCHEME The project is gigantic in pro- portions, The minister's decision means the end of Knightsbridge as Londoners and millions of visitors have known and loved it. The picturesque Scotch House on the corner of Sloane Street will be demolished and this noted landmark will be missed by tourists. Much To Be Found About Cholesterol By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- band, following a thrombosis, read that the pectin in apples served as a natural preventive against the deposit of cholesterol in the blood vessels. He asked two doctors. One said apples might well be bene- ficial and.in no way harmful. The other said they seemed not only to curb the accumulation of cholesterol but. were sus- pected of dissolving that which already has accumulated. Recently a friend who ts taking anti-cholesterol medica. tion and is on a strict diet said he was forbidden to eat apples, stating that they were very high in cholesterol. Can you explain this seeming contradiction? -- A. The explanation begins with the fact that we are far from having a complete understand- ing of cholesterol, When such a some people tend to put undue emphasis on certain aspects of the problem that may not be warranted. The trick is to separate the hocus from the pocus. Apples are not high in choles: terol, Your friend may have been told not to eat them for some other reason--or maybe he just doesn't like apples and uses diet as an excuse. I notice that one doctor said pectin might well be beneficial, and the. other said apples seemed to help, or were sus- pected of it. In other words, they gave a couple of mild "maybe" answers that don't mean much except that we have no reason to suspect apples of being harmful. Diet (let alone any single item of food) is only one of several factors involving cholesterol -- age, heredity, exercise, over- weight, smoking, and the amount of animal fats eaten over the last 20, 30 or 40 years all have a bearing on the condi- tion, so it becomes rather far- fetched to try to attach any particular significance to one single kind of fruit. To date there is no reliable evidence, either, that any way exists to. remove cholestrol once it has been deposited. Our efforts currently are aimed at trying to control the amount of f cholesterol circulating in the blood, in the hope that keep. ing it at moderate levels may retard further accumulation, Eat apples if you like 'em, Dear Dr, Molner: When chil- dren's first teeth become s0 loose they can be pushed out with your finger, should that be done? Does taking loose teeth out make permanent ones grow in crooked?--MRS, M.L, When a tooth is loose, remove it. It's about ready to come out anyway and the child probably will wiggle it out with the tongue, or lose it while eating. At that stage, removal will have no effect on the second teeth. They already are pushing up' behind the first ones, and whether they are crooked de- pends on other factors. . Dear Dr. Molner: Is it safe for a person with a normal thyroid to take a very light dosage of thyroid to control weight?--M,. M. ; Small doses are sometimes used under supervision of the physician. Only rarely is the thyroid a factor in weight control. If there is thyroid deficiency, thyroid medication is logical, But where thyroid is normal, to bring about weight reduction would require toxic doses which would make you irritable and nervous, Deliberately upsetting a normal system for some ulterior pur- pose--like losing weight without bothering to eat properly--de- cidedly does NOT have my sanction, GALLUP POLL Most of the area bordered by Sloane Street, Basil Street, Hans Crescent and the Bromp- ton Road is. also scheduled for demolition orders. More than 700 of London's most expensive apartments, about 95 shops and several hotels are to come down, Basil Street will com- pletely disappear. In the place of these lovely old buildings there will be three skyscrapers, towering above a forty-feet-high building which will provide new stores, There will be a 40-storey block of apartments, a 26-storey hotel of 500 bedrooms and a 24-storey high offie block. It will take about a year to work out all the details and complete the expropriation of the property required, but Ma- jor Marler expects to start de- molition of the unwanted build- ings about June of next year, He also is confident that the whole project will be completed by 1967. 166 OBJECTORS Since the project was first mooted' six years ago, there have been strenuous objections to it. A year ago, at a public inquiry 166 objectors turned up to protest against the scheme being adopted. In spite of this, the result of the inquiry was to have the minister's seal of ap- proval set upon the plan. The buildings proposed will cover only one acre of land each, the remainder being tak- en up by roads and open spaces, including a two-acre traffic island with a sunken piazza at the junction § of Sloane Street,, Brompton Road and Knightsbridge. The Scotch House is being de- molished in order to provide more roadway space for traffic, Major Marler said it would be the last of the buildings to come down, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 23, 1963...

Thirty-seven percent in Que- bec claim that relations be- tween French and English- speaking Canadians are better than they were five years ago. Only 14 per cent say they are worse and 3% per cent call them "'about the same". The national view on this sub- ject is changed because almost a third of those who live outside Quebec believe feelings have worsened in the last half de- cade, This brings the national total to an even split of opinion, as 27 per cent believe feelings are better and 27 per cent say they are worse, The question put to Cana- dians by Gallup Poll inter- viewers was: "Do you think that today. the féelings between English-speak- ing and French-speaking~Cana- dians are better or worse than they were say five years ago?"

NICHOLSON - OTTAWA -- Last summer's financial chickens are flocking home to roost here; but since the hen-coop is now under new management, the cross - bred birds once denigrated by the Liberals are now nesting under the Liberal roof, At about the time of last June's general election, readers will remember, Canada ran into a major financial crisis involv- ing the international value of our dollar, This was revealed to the public by the the prime minister just after the election, having been concealed from the electors until then--in the words of Liberal Leader Lester Pear- son---"by what can only be termed a major political fraud." The Canadian dollar was de- valued during the election cam- paign, And the first major act of the Diefenbaker government after polling day was to impose @ series of emergency measures aiined at halting the run on our QUEEN'S PARK dollar. Soave ineaaurse included widespread tar and other terity i in the value of foreign pur- chases which returnin, revel lers were permitted bring into Canada free of duty, WAS IT LEGAL?

The growth has been slow and gradual, And not many of us realized just how closely knit the two governments had become until the federal Par- Hament opened recently. With the opening we had the speech from the throne. And to anyone here probably the most striking feature of this was the number of mat- ters it touched on which were ra direct concern to the prove nce, EVERYTHING INVOLVED Practicaly everything except external relations, and strictly local questions such as the B.C, power rights and the Atlantic Development Fund, had a di- rect interest to the province. A contributory pension plan. How will it affect Ontario's program for portable pensions? Or the Old Age Assistance from 65 to 70? A municipal loan fund. Will the provinces be expected to share the cost? Will this take some of the pressure off the constant demand from munici- palities for more money? The various steps announced for economic development, Will they conflict with Ontario's pro- gram? Health, Trans-Canada High- way, agriculture and a number of other subjects that were briefly mentioned or didn't come up in the speech, Prac- ticaly every department of the federal government now has @ relationship with the provinces. What will they have to present as the federal session pro- gresses? NEED CONTACT There are many implications to this new relationship. An important one, of course, is that there are many more points of potential difference. There has been a theory held in the past that governments representing different political stripes here and at Ottawa probably got along better to- gether, In the future, it is obviously going to be hard for federal and provincial governments, no matter what the political com- plexion, to work in harmony, Their lines are. crossing too much. No matter what this may hold for the future, however, a very apparent first need is some means of closer contact with Ottawa, The province will have to be in constant touch with develop- ments in the federal field and there will be almost continual negotiation. Many times in the past it has been said that the province one day would need @ secretariat in Ottawa. That day would now seem to have arrived, whole } have been cleared could one oie te of to aie legislation to re; its emergency measures, my WITH PLEAS . " came another election, and w coincidence or as an electoral bait, the eur- charges were withdrawn, ~ But now the storm has been let loose, A number of compelled to pa under those disputed orders-in-council, If the court upholds those pe- titions, by ruling that the Dief- enbaker government did not in fact have the powers which it claimed, the treasury could be faced with massive bills totall- ing perhaps nearly $200,000,000 in repayable surcharges. On the other hand, even now the new government could ask the new parliament to pass a bill regularising the steps which when in opopsition it argued were illegal, An interesting sidelight of this legal dispute concerns those millions of Canadian tourists. If the tariff surcharges were ille- gal, were the restrictions on the importation of tourists' pur- chases also illegal? If so, every tourist who was charged duty on his foreign pur- chases in excess of $25 but less than $100 will also have a case against the government. The in- dividual sums may be small, but collectively they would stagger the treasury and the courts, READERS' VIEWS FOLK FESTIVAL The following letter was ad- dressed to Mrs. Jo Aldwinckle, Chairman, Oshawa Folk Festi- val: Dear Mrs. Aldwinckle: I do want to congratulate you right away on the wonderful folk festival that you onganized last night. As I told you, I was most impressed with the qual- ity of the performances and also the skill with which the pro- gram was put together and car- ried out, I am sure that a festival of this kind does much. to bring onl different national bac! s together in a com- munity and may I again offer you and your committee my best congratulations.
