Those Offshore Rights

The federal-provincial dispute over who controls offshore mineral rights,

--and which is the competent authority

to grant exploration permits, contin-

ues with no resolution in sight. Over the protests of several of the prov- inces, Ottawa has referredsthe dispute to the Supreme Court but no date has been set for the hearings because British Columbia, which is named in

the reference, has as yet shown no

sign of filing its own reference with the court. -

Recently Jack Davis, parliament-~

ary secretary of thé federal minister of mines and_ technical

ment will proceed with the case ‘whether B.C. files or not. The prov- inces concerned—the Maritimes, Quebec and- B.C.—are still pressing to have the reference withdrawn and

level at a federal-provincial con- ference. : Ottawa fs basing its case on the ‘ International Convention on the Con- tinental Shelf, which has the effect of recognizing the federal government as the sole owner of offshore rights. “The provinces, however, coritend that this constitutes. a challenge to their constitutional control ever natural _resources.

federal: government’s sovereignty, its _right to govern, will be at stake when it meets the provincial governments | in June, and, for a fis¢al confronta- ion, in the autumn. © | ~ Quebeé is demanding a far larger share of the nation’s basic revenues than Ottawa can possibly grant and still perform its function. Moreover, Quebec insists that any revenues | transferred to it from the federal | treasury for a specific purpose like education can be spent for any other | purpose, at ‘the provincial govern- | ment’s pleasure. Thus the right of the national government td spend its own money for national purposes is di- ‘rectly challenged. If these demands were confined to Quebec they might be manageable. But they will be pressed by other

Mr. Pearson’s attitude to Quebec, notes Hutchison, has definitely hard- ened in recent weeks. Now confront-

Palsy Of

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen - The facial nerves control the muscles of the face including those that close the eye, wrinkle the forehead, open and close the lips, and support the cheeks. Bell's palsy, the most common affliction of. the nerve, leads to a condition in which one side of the face sags. Best results are obtained when an all-out effort is made to save the. stricken nerve.

The individual ma go to bed feeling fine and upon awakening is astonished to find that one ‘| side of the face is drooping and motionless. In the typical case the muscles on one-half the face ‘| are paralyzed. The victim is un- able to wrinkle his forehead, frown, or close the eye on the affected side. When attempting to emile, the corner of the mouth on the good side goes up where- as the other. remains down. It is impossible to draw up the mus- cles of the mouth to whistle, smile, or show the teeth.

The facial nerve originates in the brain and passes a small opening in the skull to reach the muscles of the face. Something happens to the circu- lation of the nerve causing the fibres within its tough sheath. to swell. Most of the damage oc- curs where the nerve is con- stricted as it passes through the monyielding bony canal. The quicker pressure is relieved the better the outcome. ee

Best results are obtained with a cortisone- type hormone that reduces inflammation. . In- travenous procaine also ‘is use- ful. Electrical tests can be done
