Language is only one of the differences.
between English and French Canadians, and

French is not going to affect the problems
facing Canada. But it never hurts for people
to try to learn about 'each other and to
understart0 each other.
— One thing I have done is try to put myself.
in the place of French Canadians. I have
tried to imagine, foOnstance,, bow I would

understood in my mother tongue, even
though I was still in my own country.
I've always felt proud of living in'a country
in which so many cultures, are blended and
people from so many different backgrounds
live together peacefully. Although I don't
know as much about Quebec as I probably
should, I've always been glad it's part of
Canada, and the thought of losing it disturbs,

A few weeks after successfully completing
my final lesson, I met someone who spoke
French. When' I mentioned that I had
studied the language, he promptly switched
, to the French tongue, and I quickly replied,

never improved, and my reading and
writing ability grew rusty over the years.
Now I wish I had studied more seriously and
retained a few of the things I le,arned about
the second iMost-used language-in Canada.
It wasn't until the, murmuring about
Qurbec separatism grew louder that I
realized howfittle I knew about Quebec. not
just its language but also its people. its
culture, its ideals.
Although I'm concerned—I, haven't really
tried to overcome my ignorance. I want to
visit Quebec some time, but I spent this
year's vacation somewhek4else. I'd like to
brush up on 'my French; but I haven't
enrolled in any courses. Like many other
people, I use the excuse that I'm too busy or
My only experience with a. second

before the federal government began
emphasizing the need for bilingualism. I

part of my high school curriculum. If I h.ad
had other reasons, I might have tried !larded,
Reading and writing were not difficult,
and translating was fun. I passed, the stage
of iantifying familiar objects, such, as the
chair, the door and the hat, and was soon
reading and writing French paragraphs and
stories. My marks weren't bad - pot terrific,
but not bad. .-
The only problem was the teacher couldn't
hear my pronunciation. At the time. I
. thought it was to my advantage, but •later I
,realized it wasn't.'
I didn't know anyone who spoke French; I
didn't even own a French record. I

guess-work. The result was a dialect of my

For at JeAst 50 years Feline Distemper
has been reeognized to occur in cats as a,
result of a specific viral infection. The
disease is extremely common and highly
contagious to all members of the cat
,family. Yet, there is a great deal of •
confusion associated with this disease.
Even the . name is inappropriate and
misleading. The ••cat disease has nothing
whatsoever to do with the disease in dogs
called "Canine Distemper." For this'
reason Veterinarians refer to the condition
in cats as Feline • F'anIeukop,ehia or
Infectious Feline Enteritis. • ,
These two terms refer to the marked
decrease in white blood cell numbers and
the severe diarrhea (that occurs with the •
infection), and thus,, more aptly desctibe
the' disease in pathologicarterms.
' Diagnosis "distemper" upon clinical.
signs can often be difficult and cause much
confusion. as well. This is because the
distemper virus lowers the cats defence me-
chanisms by Markedly reduciiig the
number of circulatitiR white blood cells. In
this way, the feline distemper virus often'.
doesn't kill its victims, but sets them up for
a fatal invasion of secondary viruses and,
bacteria.
• Feline distemper' 'affects primarily
kittens and young cats under one year of
age. The classical picture_ of a cat'
strickened strickened With the disease is sudden and
profound dullness-, initial high fever,
vomiting and lack of appetite. Treatment is
difficult. Antibiotics are 'used to help
protect .against Secondary „infectionS and
fluids are used in an attempt to,counter act
dehydration.
-LuCkily, feline distemp.er can be prevent-
ed by the use of vaccines. Kittens should
be innoculated at 6-8 weeks and possibly
again at 12-16 weeks. A booster at 1 year of
age-is advisable and the isolated house cat.
should receive yearly boosters to maintain
a good level of immunity. Because this
disease is so extremely contagious and so
widespread,' this is one shot, that every
responsible cat owner should 'consider for
their young felines.
