The fact that Dr. Gustave Gingras, executive director of the Rehabilitation Institute of Montreal, .and recent winner of the $50,000 Royal Bank Award, was and is virtually unknown to the vast majority of Canadiansis arather sad indication of where certain priorities seem to lie in this country.

Dr.Gustave Gingrasis simply agreatmananda great Canadian; one whose work this country should be proud of. Yet with all the hue and cry about the Canadian __indentity, what it is, and whether or not it exists, the average man on the street is alarmingly ignorant of their share of the blame. Instead of constantly bewaiting the fact that 'Canada is losing (or has lost) her identity, all media might consider some positive promoting of what this country does have (such as the work of Dr. Gingras). How many other Canadian men and women are doing impressive work in the fields of medicine, science, industry, commerce, business, internatio- nal affairs, or thehumanities? And how much of their work isunknowntomost Canadians, and the people of other countries? Maybe that elusive Canadian identity is right in frontof our noses. Maybe we just haven't been able to seethe forest forthe trees. Maybe we should open our eyes. Canada had a Nobel prize winner recently. Does anybody recall his name?

Outside the window thesnowbanks look like - the iceberg that sank the Titanic. Inside; the furnace thumps away like a bull moose that has just outrun a pack of wolves. And every four days, it seems, the oil delivery man wades through the drifts, inserts that solid gold nozzle in the side of the house, and whistling cherrfully, pumps, another $30 worth of oil into the great guzzler.

She's been in the sack since 7:30 this morning, after sitting up all night talking to her crazy mother, who suffers from insomnia. It's not that Kim disturbs the quiet, gentle routine of our daily life. She doesn't disturb it at all. She destroys it. As mentioned, she's a night-owl.

If dinner is carefully planned for_six-thirty, she is suddenly famished at five-thirty and smashes herself up a big mess of bacon and eggs or spaghetti and sardines, leaving her mother and I looking ruefully at the roast. Or else she is not hungry at dinner-hour and will eat nothing but some celery, and then about eight-thirty is fainting and slaps up a vast 'concoction of fried bananas and mushrooms.

The problem, you see, is that we ask her home for a weekend. She throws a clean blouse ina shoulder bag and heads home, But she hates the city so much that her weekends turn into a six-day sojourn, and she has to wear somebody's clothes, and she and her mother can't abide each other's taste in garments, so she wears mine, which are so drab and nondescript that nobody could fight over them. As I said, these are trifles. But she's always in some kind of a hassle, and these are the things that produce the hours-long, all-night sessions with her old lady, while I lie can talk about for six hours at a stretch, without either one drawing a full breath.

And typically, her mother, who never misses anything important like this, though I doubt if-she knows the name of the prime minister, checked thecalendarand discovered May 7th isa Sunday.
