COTTON. P u b l i s h e r and Monday, General August M anager 27, 1!W 2 Death Saved Premier From Political Rout O T T A W A --Death saved Que bec's longtime premier, Maur ice Duplessis. from the electoral avalanche which quickly shat tered his powerful Union N a tional party. This is the Inevitable conclu sion from many ta lk s with friendly and politically-mature French -Canadians d u r in g a 1.200-mile tour of rural areas of La Belle Province. Things are changing very sig nificantly in that part of Canada where time long stood still. The paternalism and patronage of L e Grand Chef--as his admirers called M. Dunlessis---suddenly became outmoded. In t h e i r place, Quebec wants I hose ideas which swept its motherland in the revolution 175 years ago: Liberty, Equality and F rater nity. Strangely enough, although Quebec turned away from the conservative government of the Union National, it has not found what it sought among the often ultra-social;st poPcies of lib e r a l prem ier Jan Lesage. Hence, one might deduce, the recent, surprise t r i u m p h of Social Credit candidates in Quebec. AE PAR ATIAM U N R E A L In its most extreme form this new' mood in Quebec hit the headlines under, the title of senavatism. But the ideas of the three conflicting separatist movements have made little im pact outside university student circles; certainly not among the better informed and maturely reasonable thinkers. These rec ognize that the new' independent status of the tiny ex-colonv may be a glittering toy, welcomed by backward Africans; but that it is fragile, impermanent and not visible within the framework of the modern world. But just as Quebec accepts to day's trend towards one world, il demands the corollary of one citizenship. Other Canadians. Quebec c o m p l a i n s , treat French - Canadians in many ways as second class citizens. Scratch a separatist, and you will find a crashing inferiority complex: let a I* rench-Canadian blow off his top. and beneath It you will note a chip on his shoulder--not entirely unjusti fied. Quebec today enjoys less of the m a t e r i a ] advantages of prosperous Canada than Orange Ontario,' they b e l i e v e . All F r e n c h - Canadians consider themselves to be regarded by other Canadians as backward children, to be humored but to be dominated for their own good. English - speaking Canadians have committed a monumental blunder of public relations. We are innately shy. so we refrain from attempting to air our cer tainly modest capabilities to sneak French: but we have permitted Jacques in Quebec to accent our motive as arrogance, not shyness. Q UEBEC'S fiOOD L IF E I'he second part of our blun der is perhaps closely related. We refuse to recognize the un questionable worth of Quebec's classical education, with its val uable products o f logic and in tellect. Because educated Que beckers have a classical degree, but not a baccalaureate of Com merce fugh !), our materialistic civilization pushes them aside. This is a very valid com plaint. In governmennt and in business. Quebeckers are not given an even break. An Am er ican businessman, heading a big U.S.-owned corporation turning huge profits f r o m nature's bounty in Quebec, told me that his company has a rule that Quebeckers may not be pro moted above a certain grade: only U.S. citizens and occa sional English-speaking Cana dians have the commercial abil ity to fill top echelon posts, in New Y ork 's opinion. A senior government official told me that Ottawa's yardstick is sim ilarly obvious: Out of 32 senior civil service posts of the equivalent rank of deputy min ister. French - Canadians fill only three, while their popula tion's proportion would be 11.

Friend A1 Masson, speaking as an off duty*councillor who often finds il impossible to leave town probelms in the municipal offire, sometimes chides me when the newspapers climb onto a journa listic high horse and ride out. against closed meetings of Ihe town fathers. On occasion, Allan points out. certain councillors tend to clam up when they know their earnest and honest comment will bequoted. Al contends that reports of a councillor s commentary on some specific situation don't always fully reflect his reasoning and intentions. Granting that he is sometimes right, w e can only say this to our amiably critical friend: "D on' t forget that your consti tuents will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You a l l that money you Nav<d on c o a l , oil or £ »* during lhe*e l o v e l y N t i n t m e r month*? I haven't gotten around to ask ing him about it. but I 'm rather certain that the very grand guy who hound-dogs my blood pres sure. Dr. Sam Mar Arthur, would heartily agree with a random comment tlro.se jaundiced eyes picked up in an old copy ol coronct the other day. This was the squib: "The abuse of antibiotics by overly en thusiast^ patients makes even m ore imperative the remark addressed by Sir William Osier to Ihe medical profession a half cen tury ago. Sir William contended that one of the first duties of a physician is to educate the mas ses not to take medicine." A recent now* story told of an 85-year-old physician In « m ay have a heart of gold -- but so has a hard-boiled egg." E ver Stop To Think Dep,. -- \vliat on earth has become of small Quebec \illage who has delivered 3.700 babin* in the same hamlet over a 59-year p*4 riod. The village's present po pulation is 700. Where did everybody go? John B. MacDonald one of our favourite whodunit scriveners, re cently rang the bell with a wry comment on this topsy-turvy uni verse. Quoth John: " Today we use 300 horsepower /to m ove a 130-lb. man one block to purchase a oneounce pack o f cigarets -- complete with fitter tips so he won't know he's smoking." 'Ihe Financial Post makes an other very sound point when. In noting the approach of Ihe upcoming holiday week-end and the Inevitable reports of high way deaths, It feelingly de clares: " The m iracle will be that there are not more of them; the mass of traffic being what it is, and Ihe habits and manners of so many drivers being what they are." Sometimes, when T ponder the administrative calisthenics o f some memliers of council when the subject of planning and zon ing arises. I find it exceedingly difficult refrain from bleating my `annoyance. But what's the use? The louder the protest, the more these gentlemen are apt to enlarge upon their weird munici pal viewpoints. These moments always recall the classic remark of George Bernard Shaw; *` I believe in the discipline of silence, and could talk for hours about it."

T O R O N T O -C a n the Roach In qu iry get wound up by this fall? Most people hope so and this is reported the aim of the com missioner. But whether Mr. Justice W. D. Roach can make the target date is still open to question. There are still a large number of witnesses to be heard, and the report undoubtedly will be a difficult one to write. T h e government fervently hopes that the commission com pletes its business before win ter, however. And this not only because its proceedings are s source of em barrassment to it. More important, than this 1* the fact that a general election should be held next year and planning for it should be under w ay now'. But this really can' t start un til the crime report has been presented and it is known what political issues may rise out of it. C N E COST? The Ontario display at the Canadian National Exhibition is m ore elaborate than ever this year. The government building was given a thorough renovating o ve r the past few month* and there is a more effective pres entation of the exhibits. There still is the same old question about the Ex. however: How much does it cost? And is it really worth it. Nobody, it seems, can come up with even a close guess as to the total provincial outlay on the CNE. It certainly runs Into hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it is highly argueable whether the outlay is war ranted. It is one iliat probably will continue to go on and on. of course. Once government gets into an affair such as this il is almost impossible for it to even break away, public sentiment is too strongly againsl it. G R E A T N O R TH E R N E R One of Ontario' s most colorful figures was lost with the death of LI .-Col. C. E. Reynolds. The form er chairman of the Ontario Northland Railw ay was a devoted booster of the north and his contribution to its de velopment was great. Like other men of big affairs, however, lie often could be very trying to people here. Col. Reynolds had firm opin ions. which he freely expressed. And he believed in living in a style fitting his position--de spite the fact that the railroad was owned by the government and was open to political criti cisms. He could be a thorn in thp side of various people, but there is no question about his contri bution.

The government, however, ad mitted defeat and in 1941 brought in an alternative plan on a fee-for-service basis. The doctors fought and obtained a number of amendments. U N IV E R S A L T O D A Y Some doctors still held out against the revised scheme, but to all intents and purposes it is universal today and has long been so. The essential basis o f the system is that the slate contrib utes about S I.10 toward Ihe cost of each consultation, or about; S2 for visits to homes at night and the like. Most doctors re cover the payment direct from the slate. A minority charge the patient and leave it to him to obtain a refund from the stale. When the plan was introduced most d<wtors treated the state payment as their full fee. The amount has rem ained constant in spite of rising costs, however, and today many doctors make an additional charge to the pajient -- usually only about 50 cents. Norm ally, however, they Cor respond nt m ake no additional charge to pensioners and others in poorer · circumstances. The m edical profession has made representations for an in crease in the state contribution, hut apart from that has made few appeals for m a jor changes in recent years. Faults appeared in the early stages. Some doctors rushed large n u m b e r s o f patients through at high speed, with cur sory attention, and amassed b ig incomes. Hypochondriacs switched rapidly from one doc tor to another and obtained doz ens of opinions and remedies. Rut ways have been found to rem edy most such defects. DOCTORS P R O S P E R Doctors today are among the most prosperous of professional men. While New' Zealand rs los ing men in the m ajority of pro fessions through a net flow of graduates abroad, the flow is the opposite w ay in medicine. Everyone, at all levels of in come. accepts the state contri bution as a m atter o f course. Y et the cost o f the scheme causes fa r less w o rry than some other aspects of the social se curity system . Edinburgh Festival Really Goes Russian By >1. McIntyre Rood Special to Oakville Journal* Record E D INBU RG H . Scotland -- " No matter which way we turn, this is the year of the Russians." This is the heading which appear ed in the Edinburgh Evening Dispatch as Ihe 1962 International Drama and Music Festival was opened. It had no reference to the space-probing achievements of Russian scientists. It was di rected at the predominance of Russian music and Russian ar tists, and a host of performers from countries behind the iron curtain, at the 1962 festival. And it is borne otit by the arrival in this city of the large contingent of artists and composers from Russia. Poland and Yugoslvia. Since the Earl of Harewood be cam e artistic director of the fes tival two years ago, he has inau gurated a policy of concentrating on one great -composer every year, Last year it was Schoen berg. This year he has chosen the modern Russian composer, Dmitri Shostakovich to be fea tured in the musical programs on e v e ry day of the three-week festival. And Shostakovich is her* in Edinburgh himself as a guest of Ihe Festival Society to hear his outstanding works being sung and played, most of them by Russian artists. These Russians cover n wide field of musical talent. They in clude Svadislav Richter. leading pianist: Mstislav Rostropovich, cellist: his wife/ Galitia Vishenevskaya. soprano: David Oistrakh. violinist, a n d Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, the great Rus sian conductor. In addition lo these individual artists who will be presenting the music of Shostakovich in daily concerts throughout the festival, Ihere are th ' Belgrade Opera awl Ballet Companies, under their musical director Oskar Danon.

The stale medical plan, introduced m ore than 20 years ago. works with so little comment that few recall it was once contested bitterly. Virtually all doctors today work under the state plan. It is universally accepted and has long ceased to be controversial. Yet Ihe idea of " socialized medicine" was strongly op posed for years by doctors' or ganizations. They declared it would destroy the doctor-patient relationship and they fought the plan from the time it was mooted before the Second World W ar. T h eir opposition brought suc cessive delays, but eventually the labor government of the day introduced a plan somewhat sim ilar to that operating in Brit ain today. The doctors held out against this plan -- only 50 throughout the country agreed In work on the basis proposed. There was no interruption of
