Most of us get sick or have an accident
at one time or another. And left to our
own resources, serious illness could
often cripple us financially.
So the government here in Ontario
has developed a plan to provide health
care for everybody, any time it's needed.
That plan is called 'Ontario Health -
Insurance Plan— OHIP. (The "H"
Stands for "Health, "not "Hospital.") The
Plan is administered by your Ontario
government for us, the people of the
province, who pay into it regularly so we
can benefit when we need it.
How does the Ontario Health
Insurance Plan work? Like this:
First, you apply for coverage — on a
"Group" basis where you work, or you
can pick up an application form at any
bank, hospital, or OHIP district office:..
Next, you'll pay modest premiums to
cover yourself and your family towards
the time when health care is needed.
People on welfare, students, and
others whose incomes fall.belOw a
certain' level, are eligible forasSistance
in paying their OHIP premiums.. No one
is excluded for lack of money,: but you •
must apply forsuch premium assistance.
Benefits include: physicians' services
• standard ward hospital accommoda-
tion • X-rayS • laboratory tests • drugs%
required in hospital • operating and
delivery rooms • radiotherapy •
chiropractic, osteopathic, and chiropo-
dist services . eye examirlations •
occupational therapy .. physiotherapy
• speech therapy • nursing and medical
care in nursing hotnes and homes for
the aged Home Care service •
ambulance • certain-dental surgery.
Payments may cover costs entirely or
only in part, depending on the nature of
the claim.
But remember: Membership in the
Ontario Health Insurance Plan is not
automatic —you have to apply for it.
Arid be sure to carry your identification
card or OHIP number at all times.
If you would likamOre information,
visit any OHIP district office. Or write to:

minutes late. A further pick up
was made in Teeswatef and then it
was Ottawa bound 'arriving in
time for the 6.3 0 evening dinner
at Carleton University. They
were, assigned rooms in one of the
new residence buildings there.
The trip covered Tuesday; Wed-,
nesday and .Thursday of last week.
Local arrangements were made by
Reg Moore. The bus arrived back
in Ripley By ten o'clock on Thurs-
day evening. By that time th\e-
