Mark's dad was so upset about his son's condition he decided to make a desperate move--i.e., to give up his job as a salesman with a down- town Oshawa office supply 4 firm and move his family (there was one other child) to California where the. cli- mate was better, where Mark could get more ad- | vanced medical care. It was a desperate odessy west in search of a boy's health, but it didn't work out -- Mark died last Sun- day in Stamford Hospital, Santa Olara, California. Don Holmes, 33, and his : AEE HOLES wife, Merrilyn, 29, formerly resided at 118 Sutherland avenue, and attended Northminster "United Church, They have been married 13 years and were residents here for many years. Mark slept in a special tent: (before he left Oshawa) through which passed a mist vapor (composed of glycol, salt and distilled water) circulated by means of a generator in the basement. The mist enabled him to breathe. Without it he would have died. The tent and equipment cost $400 -- it was the gift of the Ladies' Civitan Club of Oshawa. His illness was a severe emotional shock for the parents, It also caused a severe drain on their meagre financial resources, especially with medical bills and constant drugs. He could only digest food by means of a regular capsule drug (Cotazym); one of four drugs he used regularly at a monthly cost of more than $40. The Holmes sold all of their worldly belongings to finance 'the California trip (with the exception of "a few sticks of furniture' and a 1952 Pontiac to take them westward.) Dr. Allan Rundle, Mark's Oshawa doctor, said in 1962 that there was no known cure for "advanced" cases of Cystic Fibrosis, such as "'Mark" had, but that the ailment could be Amiably By MARTHA COLE WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Redcoats were back in Wash- ington Monday, exactly 150 years after the British captured and burned the Capitol of the United States. i It was on the night of Aug. 24, 1814, during the War of 1812, that torch - bearing British troops swarmed into the Capl- tol building. Others set fire to the White House. This time the Redcoats came in. friendship. They are 87 members of the ceremonial Fort Henry Guard of Kingston 'and are guests of the U.S, Marine Corps. The story of this amity began in enmity 152 years ago when a detachment of U.S. marines from Commodore Perry's fleet tried to enter Kingston during the War of 1812. The marines didn't make it, partly because of a battery of guns on Point Henry, |FIRST VISIT IN 1954 4 In August, 1954, headquarters units of the U.S. Marine Corps marched across the drawbridge at Fort Henry as invited guests of the Fort Henry Guard. The marines, furthermore, were given a set of keys to the fort's doors and powder magazines. The Redcoats from Fort Henry, Canadian university students carrying on tradition in the summertime, are here on a return visit. They put on their colorful British uniforms and marched at the old marine barracks here Monday night, and will do Jima marine corps statue in nearby Arlington, Va. Monday afternoon, most of them wearing the navy blue blazer of the Fort Henry Guard, they took a quiet walk up the Arlington Cemetery hill to leave a red. and white carna- tion wreath at the grave of the late president Kennedy. relieved, although chances for survival beyond adol were "slim" in cases such as this. "Remember one thing," explained Dr. Rundle at the time. "I am only referring to extreme cases of the ailment, such as Mark's. I have personal knowledge of eight or nine mild cases in this district where the prospects for recovery are much greater. I would not advocate a change to a warm- er climate for these cases. I am agreeable to his removal because he suffers so intensely in this winter climate here. Cystic Fibrosis is a comparatively new ailment and much research remains before we understand it thoroughly." The Holmes were assisted in financing their trip to Cali- fornia by some warm-hearted citizens such as the members of Northminster United Church (thanks to Rev. Harry Mel- low, the minister, who quietly spread the word around that help was needed quickly); the IOOF, the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, the Oshawa Shrine Club, the Oshawa Kinsmen, The Hebrew Ladies' Afternoon Club, the Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith, the Phi Phi Chapter of Sigma Phi Sorority, the Westmount Kiwanis and the Oshawa Rotary. . As one reader remarked when contributions were an- nounced: 'It just proves, once again that this community has aome pretty wonderful people, doesn't it?"

Examiner Robert H.
