IN CANADA Alcoholism Rate Almost Epidemic OTTAWA (CP) Genera! practitioners can be highly suc cessful in treating many form of mental illness but they shoul not attempt psychiatric treat- ment of sexual deviates or pa-/ tients with severe symptoms 0! depression. Dr. Ewen Cameron, head of McGill University's psychiatry department and president of the -World Psychiatric Association, told 100 physicians and psychia- trists that family doctors could be of real assistance to their patients in a time of family crisis, "If someone is involved in a severe accident, or suffers be- reavement, the physician, along with treating physical symp- toms, can use basic psychiatric principles to help the patient maintain his mental health," the Montreal psychiatrist said, Dr. Cameron, who is director of the Allan Memorial Research Institute in Montreal, spoke during a three-hour appraisa! of medical education in psychi- atry at a conference on. 'Med- ical Action for Mental Health." The conference is sponsored jointly by the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian M:n- tal Health Association, and the Canadian Psychiatry Associa- tion, SEEK WAYS Physicians and psychiatrists attending it are seeking ways to integrate the practice of psychi- atry into general medical prac- tice. Dr. Marvin Stock, of the Col- lege of General Practice, Tor- onto, called for greater empha- sis on psychiatric training for all medical students. He said all interns should be given a chance to work in a psychiatric out-patient clinic. "Teachers in medical special- thes have the responsibility of telling their interns and resi- dents that in actual practice, much of their work is on a psychotherapeutic level with the patient and family, and that this must be learned now," he said. Dr. John McCreary, dean of the faculty of medicine at the University of British Columbia, told the gathering that medical schools were keenly aware of the importance of teaching psy- chiatry to all medical students. Dr. Camille Laurin, professor of psychiatry at the University of Montreal, called for '"'an ag- onizing reappraisal' of medical school curricula. MUST BE APPLIED "The teaching of psychiatry More treatment centres spe- sializing in the rehabilitation of iulcoholics were badly needed n Canada as well as a greatly 'nereased reseafch program. Dr. Boudreau also pleaded for better public understanding of the alcoholic's problem. 'People like a person who drinks moderately -- but once he becomes an 'alcoholic they reject him completely. "They must realize that the alcoholic is often a very sick man." Dr. D. E, Zarfas, director of the Children's Psychiatric Re- search Institute at London, Ont. speaking on family problems and mental retardation, told the gathering: | "One of the most important) ways to help a retarded child is to help his family make a more satisfactory adjustment to the fact that he is retarded. IT'S TREATMENT | "T believe this to be a treat-) ment for the child because have seen many, if not ali,| problems diminish or disappear with sound, understanding man- agement of family reactions by the physician." Dr, Zarfas, said that the ini- tial medical contact with the family was important in their) eventual adjustment to their} child's retardation. "The physician must be gen- tle, understanding and accept the problems of .the parents in realizing that their child is men- tally retarded, His explanation of the child's condition should be brief and simply stated." --even if Parliament gives them)mon stocks--Canadian or for- eommon stocks.

Some doubt is being ex- pressed in official circles here in the wake of Finance Minister Gordon's budget -. speech an- nouncement last week that he would seek amendments to this effect. Informants say Mr. Gordon will take the usual path leading jto financial legislation of this sort, and consult the insurance companies before drafting a bill for Parliament. It may be late in the year before he is ready to proceed in the Commons. The move dovetails with Mr. Gordon's attempt to achieve a greater degree of Canadian ownership of foreign - controlled companies, In 1961, latest year for which figures are available, they operated about 60 per cent of this country's manufacturing and mining industries. | | EYES INSURANCE ASSETS _ | Obviously he has one eye on} the life insurance companies' asseis -- $12,235,000,000 at the end of 1962. In theory, this enormous at least, part of fund could be used in buying shares being made available by foreign- based companies which try to nibble at Mr, Gordon's new car- rot--a lower rate of withholding tax for firms offering Canadians at least 25-per-cent ownership. However, Canadian and American insurance companies --the British are the exception --have only small holdings of | HOLD TWO HEARINGS LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- The royal commission on bilingual- ism and biculturalism holds two regional hearings in Ontario to- day. While five members of the 10-man commission meet with representative groups in this in-| dustrial .and educational centre of southwestern Ontario, the Ontario, the other commission- ers were due to meet with sim- ilar groups in the northern city of Sudbury. | The commission plans to hold about 25 such meetings through- must be applied in every medi- cal specialty, so that the Aoepormt| man he mill meet seri prac- tice. Dr, Andre Boudreau, director of medical services on alcohol- ism for the Quebec health min- istry, said alcoholism has reached "almost epidemic pro- portions" in Canada. The pyschiatrist said that in view of the gravity of the prob- lem, it was time medical doc- tors took a greater responsibil- ity in helping to solve it. "Some years ago, alcoholism used to be thought of as a moral issue, or a mental illness, but today it is recognized as a dis- ease and as such, lies within the scope of the medical doc- tor," he said. He suggested that most medi- cal doctors were not sufficiently aware of. the problems of the alcoholic and of modern treat- ment methods. NEED EDUCATION "It is important that doctors be properly educated about al- coholism. They must be con- vinced that it is possible to re- habilitate alcoholics." Hint Yaremko To Get A-G Position TORONTO (CP) -- A B.R (Bert) Lawrence, 40-year-old Ottawa lawyer and freshman member of the legis'ature for Russell, eventually wil! enter Premier Robarts's cabinet in an expected three-way shuffle, it was learned Tuesday. ~~ Mr. Lawrence likely will step into the health department port- folio, now occupied by Dr. Mat- thew Dymond, as Premier Ro- barts seeks to switc., his minis- ters to fill the attorney-gener- al's office, vacated Monday with the resignation of Fred Cass. Although Mr. Robarts has given no hint of who his next attorney - general wi.l be, word is being circulated at Queen's Park that Provincial Secretary Yaremko, a lawyer, will take over the portfolio in the near future. That would mean Dr. Dy- mond would move into the pro- vincial secretary's job. Asked by reporters Tuesday whether .he was contemplating cabinet changes, Mr. Robarts said ho decision had been made on juggling of his cabinet. He said the matter of whom was to replace Mr. Cass as at- torney-general was: being given "very careful consideration," The Premier plans to assume the attorney-general's portfolio himself until the cabinet: shuffle is made. The switch will enable' Mr Robarts to bring his cabinet up to full strength without the ad- dition of another Toronto mem- ber. out Canada between now and mid-June. Mrs. Mary Barber, who will preside over the London meet-| ing, said Tuesday not so many) participants are expected at the} hearing here as in those in Que-| bec last week, when 300 took) part. | Andre Laurendeau, co - chair-| man of the commission, said} this is not surprising because| last week's turn-out was itself unexpectedly large and because "the problems of bilingualism and biculturalism are certainly not so evidence in London as they are in Quebec. | London, with a population of} 170,000, is the site of the Uni-| versity of Western Ontario, one of the country's largest univer- sities.

He said last week's meetings in the Quebec cities of Sher- brooke and Trois - Rivieres showed that there is a diversity of views in that province on bi- lingualism and biculturalism. He reiterated that the com- mission attaches great import- ance to the fact-finding process now under way "because we are far from having all the facts regarding the problem." "'We want to hear spontaneous and frank opinions and feelings from people in this area' said Commission co - chairman Da- vidson Dunton, heading a five- amber panel in Sudbury. Mayor Joseph Fabro of Sud- bury and members of. the city council greeted the five com- missioners at a civic reception Tuesday.
