THE L' UCKNOW SENTINEL LUCKNOW,,, ONTARI ,4 LETTER � TO TI#! EDITOR President o Co-op Position The Editor The Lucknow Sentinel, Lucknow, Ontario . rear Sir; .• ' The recent talk and Correspond- ence concerning medical insurance has undoubtedly caused much con- fusion of thought for you andt°prob-' ably Most: of your :subscribers, The tremendous advertisin cavi ai n carried out. byrhe Tn � l P g .� arto Govern mint, to sell their new OMSIP Plan, has caused most residents of Ontariolo take a closer:look at their Own medical coverage:. Private Medical insurance supp-,. tiers have been burdened',with calls and letters by "policy -holders who "want to know what they are cov- • ered for." At least one large Ont' - ario company 'has announced' that it will discontinueproviding med ical'insurance as of July 1, 1966, • and has advised its policy holders to seek coverage elsewhere:.; Through advertising hrou h advertisingimmicks and false gossip many persons have been led to believe that, starting July 1, .1 66 ,. the Government will have full control over Ontario's medical .insurance.,_ and coverage will be available only through OVISIP. This is definitely not,true as Huron County's, own Huron'.Co- operative• Medical Services will. continue to: provide, medical.�cov ,erage:on.an actuai'cost basis* to the County residents, as` it has done for the 'past 18 .years; When buying 'medical insurance, one should keep in mind that it is the coverage, not the price, that really makes the difference. It is a,safe guess that`alnost all Com prehensive 'medical insurance plans cover doctor's home and off ice calls, surgical opelrations�, an aesthetics, and probably matern- ity care. But what most people don't •realize is that by "cover,. some companies ,(including OM- t . SIP) mean only 90% of the doct- or's bills..... Ttte individual policy"' • holder is responsible to the doctor for payment of the remaining 10.5 of each.. and every claim,.he: may • have. no matter how large or,, small it maybe, Huron Co-oiler- ative Medical Services proudly boasts its settlement of doctor's hills at 1,00%. of the most recent Ontario Medical Association's: Schedule of Fees hook, general. practice section. • Persons who feel, that they .do • not, need a completely 'compreherr sive insurance plan,, but:would ., still like .first„dollar coverage for surgical operations, anaesthetics, • maternity etc? . are,,able to pur- chase a plan from Huron Co-oper- 'ati've 'Medical Services which is' PAG*: NJ$I While ,Many have nes . , an cowa � .. av lected coverage along these lines, H1a4r1m Co-operative Medical Ser- • vices have included a Major Med.., ical section in each policy Wired. Which provided guaranteed cover- age of the above-mentioned- rg- _- final benefits.. I would like to make ,mention of the availability of/the Huron Co-operative.

McCLUif MOTORS LIMITED • A, 4, •. i ♦i 1 •y In West Africa GREETINGS TO THE 'THQMPSON.S I am sorry that 1 have notwritt- en sooner to tell you of my change of address. I am teaching at Centennial Sec. ondary School: in Mattru and ex- pect to be teaching here for ;three. years. I am enjoying my work in teaching Mathematics here very much. Although: the students are. quite weak in this subject, . most. .of them are trying very hard to understand the work.. I left my home on August 9th, .so I have been over; here now' .for. 6,months . I arrived here during the rainy season, which lasts .from. June > o December. Just• now we are,in the„hot, dry season. 1 know. now what tropical rainstorms' are, rains that last for hours or even • days, One wonders where all the water disappears. The Sierra Leonean countryside is very beautiful with many hilts, sparkling rivers and beautiful. tall trees, and many' graceful palm: trees. The Centennial 'School. compound is also attractively landscaped with many :fruit trees such as, grapefruit;, :lemon, Orange� guava, papiah,•coconut, as well as banana and •pineapple plants. The buildings, are simply Construct • ed;•of, cement ; block. i live ' in a • very spacious=house-with• Miss =- Darbyshire, the. hone economics teacher, whose ho•me is England.• We have :in our school, teaches;.. :from United. States,Sierra Leone, England. and Canada. ''Of the 15 i teachers on our staff; 2 are Airier - Aden Peace corps, 6 are ,inisson- ' ary teachers. from the'linited Stat- es, and myself -the only Canadian, 2 from England on -volunteer serv- ice' and 5• African teachers, There are approximately. 280 Students in the school. Over half of the students . are boarders: and live : in one of the four dormitories on the compound.. The school has 5 grades or forms; 'which 'compare favourably to the five grades in. the Ontario system, More mathematics is taught here..in the five years than is taught' in the 5.' grades in Ontario. I would say the other subjects are about equal•. with ,the Ontario curriculum. I have three sets of papers to: mark, so I'd better get at thein..I hope you will greet My friends' for me and tell them that 'I am Well,. but busy. I hope the snow is not Causing too muchhavoc withyour transportation. Over. here the dust .is as. bad • as a snow. squall. • The palm trees are col- oured .brown instead of green from' an the 'dust :that blows .around. One must:drive with lights on to • see through the dust. So each climate has its own problems. •_ Sincerely,. Audrey Fiederlein, • t 1 t
