HURON-BRUCE This week the leaders of the Opposition took their turns in the Throne Speech debate. Opposition Leader Stephen Lew- is attacked the Government for failing to create jobs either directly or through substantial tax cuts to stimulate the economy. Mr. Lewis also called on the Government to ask for an early end to the federal anti-inflation program. As well, the N.D.P. leader criticized the administration of the Workmen's Compensation Board. Mr. Lewis called on the Govern- ment to make the teaching of French obligatory 'at some level in elementary schools.. He said .grants could • be given as incentives to boards to teach other languages as well. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said he would not force a provincial election over the, Throne Speech, but found much to criticize in the Government's handling of the. economy. Dr. Smith said the economy is sick and Treasurer Darcy McKe- ough is optimistically predicting a 5% growth rate, while the Confer- ence Board of Canada predicts 2.9%; Youth unemployment means the Government has "broken faith" with young people, Dr. Smith said. He called for an ' Ontario youth service to create public service jobs for young people. About 1,650 civil service jobs in Metro Toronto are to be relocated in Kingston and Oshawa as some of the first major steps in the Ontario Government's long-promised Go East policy. The costs to the province of moving staff and of extensive travel back and forth is expected to be $9 - 10 million in the first few months of the program. The head office of OHIP will be moved to Kingston, and will involve 980 jobs. The head office of Revenue will go to Oshawa, and' will involve 750 jobs. Cheque out a crippled child today.

The Foundation, founded in 1974, describes the severe headache of migraine as "one of the most common of com-, plaints," and refers to a British survey showing that more work time was lost from it in 1972 than from all of the strikes and shut- downs occurring in the United Kingdom that year. Although more is being learned about it every year, migraine defies traditional research approaches be- cause much of it goes unreported. Some sufferers' may get only one full-blown migraine in a lifetirrie; others may dismiss snore frequent occurrences as merely king-size headaches. Dr.. Vladimir Hachinsky, a neu- rologist at Toronto's,' Sunnybrook 'Medical Centre, says that migraine tends to run in families, that wo- men are slightly more prone to it than are men, and that stress is generally the triggering factor. Of the widely-held view that only intelligent, perfectionistic people get migraines, Dr. Hachinsky says that those very characteristics would impel such sufferers to seek out medical treatment. Thus, they probably figure prominently in mi- graine records. The less intelligent, less perfectionistic may be just as prone, he suggests, but also less likely to seek professional help.

Amine, an ammonia compound foUnd in cheese, chocolate and young red wines, is among the culprits. Since different migrainous people are affected differently, the secret of prevention, says Dr. Hachinsky, is to identify the triggering mechan- ism and avoid it. So far as treat- ment is concerned, there are drugs available which normalize' the blood vessels in the scalp, vessels that become dilated causing pain during a migraine attack. There's self-help, too, as I'm aware from very close but- second- hand knowledge. My wife suffered her first mi- graine four years ago. She describes it as an acute headache that oc- curred suddenly, 'was accompanied by blurred and flickering vision, all-over numbness, especially in the, hands and feet and loss. of speech control. It was diagnosed as a "classic" migraine. The four or five migraines a year she's had since then induced, she says, on those occasions w hen she is ``frantically rushed and busy." She controls them not with medication but by relaxing for an hour or two in a darkened room. Not everyone, of course, 'can dissociate themselves from the causes of this painful affliction; but until more is known about migraines, relaxation is the best bet for occasional sufferers: those with persistent migraines should seek th8 family doctor's help.
