Centennial
Report
Midgets Bomb Walkerton
IOC7 II IOD7 by JOHhl VV. FISHKRlOU/ U luO/ CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER
k Kep^it H<>. 11
I have met a number of Can- produce exciting stories ' too.
adians inspired, by the coming
Centennial celebrations, to re
search the family tree.
Tracing back one’s lineage
can be an interesting pastime
and may produce some sur
prises; One woman from Lon
don, Ontario, told me she had
turned up the uniform her
grandfather wore in the North
west Rebellion of 1885, stored
for years in an attic trunk be
longing tp a migiden aunt. Until
the -uniform was discovered she
hadn’t known her grandfather
was involved wliith the prairie1
uprising.
The reason why I like to
encourage people to research
family history is that it may
provide more than a textbook
link with the history
country. History can
alive and' personal.
A woman in Ottawa,
ample, who has adapted Can
ada as her country, knew about
the Battle, of the Plains of Ab-
: rahairn but she did not realize
it was Cap tain James Cook who
guided General Wolfe’s men to
.the shores of Quebec, She
learned of this When she dis
covered she was a direct de
scendant of that famous navi
gator.
It is worth' noting, also, that
the spirit of the times rules
out the old snobbery associated
with claims of having dukes,
counits and other notables as
ancestors.
I recall touches of humor as
sociated with a period 25 to 30
years ago when some families
went to great trouble and
sometimes considerable expense
to have their history research-
' ed. Those whose - ancestors
came from Europe or the Brit
ish Isles often were hopeful of
finding proof of heroes or royal
blood in their backgrounds.
Certainly a copy of the family
crest on old parchment, framed
and hanging in the dining room,
. was a status symbol'of sorts.
During the' family crest craze
' various "services” across the
seas published classified adver
tisements in North American
newspapers offering to research
official documents and produce
bona fide family crests — for
a fee. It was With dismay that
some on this sid'e of the ocean
would later discover they actu
ally had paid for a fictional
drawing which came only from
the mind of a second rate com-

of the
become
for ex-
One of our young office boys
at the Centennial Commission
didn’t give a hoot about history
until he discovered that an an
cestor of his figured promin
ently in' the Papineau uprising.
His eyies stared in disbelief as
he spotted his own unusual
French name in Mason Wade’s
"French Canadians”. They
widened, even more when he
read on to find that a troop
of the Montreal Volunteer Cav
alry h,ad been, sent to St. Johns,
Quebec, to capture his ancestor.
The ancestor evaded the Cav
alry and fled to the United
States.
"Gee. I’ve often wondered
Why I have so many American
relatives,” he said. "Now I
know. Here in Canada we had
a price on our heads'!”
I recommend, as a. personal-
Centennial project to yourself,
that you check into old family,
albums and books- lying around
the house. .Ask the relatives
too. There’s no telling what in
teresting Canadian history you
might find with, a family con
nection of your own.
Whether they have “trees” or
not, families also can play a big
part in the Centennial celebra
tions by malting 1967 the big
year for those picnics and re
union's -which 'long have been
typical festive occasions in
many Canadian communities.

OMSIP Questions
QUESTION: Should a family
which v has Ontario Hospital In
surance coverage subscribe to
OMSIP? Are there additional
benefits?
, ANSWER: OMSIP and Ont
ario Hospital Insurance cover
different aspects of health ser
vices; OMSIP gives coverage for
medical and surgical services
but it does not pay the cost of
hospitalization. It is an addit
ional service and not a substi
tute for Hospital Insurance;
Therefore Ontario residents
should1 continue their Ontario
Hospital Services coverage.

Fortunately we are living in

Recently diaries A. Harris,
Canadian National's director'of
public relations', was awarded
a coveted plaque and citation.
The PR "osoar” officially term
ed the "Award of Attainment”
which was presented at the
convention of ‘the Canadian
Public Relations Society held in
Ottawa’s Chateau Laurier is
the national- award' for "Dis
tinguished achievement and ser
vice to public relations”. The
citation refers to the winner’s
"innate ability and fundamental
skill . . . thought and imagin
ation . , . planning and produc
tion of an idea,”
Mr. Harris, in addition to
directing his company’s promo
tion1 of- projects in the trans
portation industryin the past
year headed a “task force”
which conducted a nation-wide
survey of the public relations
profession.

I am sure he would be the last

expect to be the recipient of
this reward. Yet, through eight
years of a most pleasant associ

served the honor.

Prospect Was Frightening
I was terrified at the pros
pect of my interview. I think
I had mentally based1 my con
ception of Charles Harris on
a gray flannel suit, Madison
Avenue, movie type version of
a public- relations executive.
Thinking I must make an im
pression on a person of such
formidable stature I borrowed
a very expensive fur coat from
a friend1 of mine. In some un
related way the coat gave me
confidence in my own ability to-
project the idea I had come to
Montreal to “sell”.
I, attributed tire reason I was
in a lather and practically
steaming from the ears to the
fact I was too nervous to even
unbutton my borrowed finery.
I needn’t have been, for this
"mogul” I expected to gobble
up my aspirations with one
sentence “don’t call us, we’ll
call you”, soon put me at my
ease. I must confess I was- sur
prised iat how quick he assessed
the worth of my idea.
This, I think, explains why.
He is "Charlie” to those per
sons closely associated with
him, an intelligent head of a
■highly specialized’ department.
I thlink I had expected a rather
austere,’ hard driving, ' callous
executive. Instead, sitting there
talking to me as relaxed as he
would be in his 'own. living

standing individual. I have

for years and to consider him
a friend.
