14 THE OSHAWA mms, Wednesday, April 20, 1966 Queen Marks Birthday Thursday By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP) -- The Queen celebrates her 40th birthday Thursday in the brightest glare of publicity any woman could experience as she crosses this Watershed into middle age. Her birthday this year coin- tides with the state opening of Parliament. A number of British writers, meanwhile, have been looking afresh at the monarchy in 40th- birthday assessments. Two commentators chose the same theme: Is the stiff, slow- changing routine of royalty too big a burden for one woman's shoulders in a fast-evolving s0- ciety? 'MODERNIZE JOB' Novelist Gabriel Fielding, writing in Nova magazine, sug- gests the monarchy should emu- late the Roman Catholic Church and initiate a process of mod ernization. He says a_ royal commission should be appointed to examine the Queen's func tions and '"'pare away all those which now are meaningless." But as one court expert com- mented, without the ceremonial functions much of the mystique of monarchy--perhaps much of the reason for its existence-- would disappear. Another commentator says many things in the Queen's 14 years on the throne could have shaken a less serene sovereign -- the gradual weakening of Commonwealth ties, Britain's recurring economic crises and dwindling power in world af- fairs. Writes Douglas Brown in The Sunday Telegraph: "To ride through Accra with the tyrant Nkrumah and to brave the angry silence of Que- bec were unpleasant experi- ences which the nation wished upon its queen almost in the spirit: of vicarious sacrifice; even the visit to Germany and bitter undercurrents which only she could neutralize "' NOTES FRUSTRATIONS The Sunday Telegraph article notes the frustrations involved for an intelligent woman trained to think nationally--and superbly well-informed -- being deprived of any real power to communicate Only when the prime minister seeks her advice can the Queen wield any influence on affairs On the personal level, where much criticism of the Queen is aimed, Douglas Brown says royal protocol is restricting. "On the Queen we impose a discipline that is worse than Trappist. We insist that she should speak, but only in plati- tudes,"' He also points out that while 'the Queen is the most photo- graphed and most written-aboui woman in Britain--possibly the world--her true personality and character remain virtually un- known to the public. Health Council Planned TORONTO (CP) -- Govern ment more and more will be taking part in provision of health services to the public Health Minister Matthew Dy mond said Tuesday night as he announced plans for establish ment of an Ontario Health Coun cil Dr. Dymond told the legisla ture during introduction of his department's estimates the council was being set up "'in order to ensure co-ordination, co-operation and long - range planning with priorities of phas- ing" of public health services. "It can be anticipated," the minister said, 'that government involvement and participation in the health services of the fu- ture will weave an even more extensive and complex pat- tern." He said the 16e-member coun cil headed by the deputy health minister "would be the senior advisory body on health mat- ters' to the health minister and the Ontario government. LISTS DUTIES The council would advise on --Health services co-ordina tion with emphasis on co operation and active partici pation of key agencies, asso ciations and groups interested in health arrangements; Techniques for long-term planning, which are suffi- ciently flexible to accommo. date short-term projects and dea! with urgent situations: Health resources develop ment and maintenance, in cluding the health resources required for education and training, services and re search, The council membership would comprise: five members representing the key professions or associations; five members representing public groups; five members appointed directly by the government for their expert knowledge in important. fields and the chairman of the Ontario Hospitals Services Commission GOSPEL SELLS WELL J.
