National Hospital Plan has also been set in motion by the paa4ng of an Act establishing The Ontario Hospital Services, Commission. This body will, plan and direct future hospital expansion so that it fit in with the needs of a national hospital' aeherne, It will, also be charged- With the operation of the Hospital Plan when it is. finally decided what form this will take. The discussion on this subject has been long and varied. Experts in every phase of this' matter have appeared before the committee and ahuost everybody has a different opinion of what 'is meant by a plan of hospital insurance, Some, think it should cover every form of sick- nese and any length of stay in hospital; others believe it should cover only catastrophic illness; meaning that it should cover only sickness of long duration where a person may lose his farm, his home or his buSiness. "Bell' Went Underground With Main Cables Will Cost Money As this involves negotiation be- tween the Government of Canada and' the province, no agreement has been reached on several points, For instance, the government at Ottawa does not plan to share in the cost of operating sanatoriums or mental hospitals. Ontario thinks people in institutions of this nature should be regarded as sick in the same way as anyone who is con- fined in a public general hospital. These instances are mentioned to indicate the complexity of the problem. It cannot be too strongly pointed out that it will cost every one of us money, so the question of how it will be financed is also of great importance. Shall it be 'by prem- iums paid • by individuals or by groups? "How will these premiums' be collected? Shall it be by im- posing further taxes on what we buy as,. for instance, by a sales tax at the retail level, or shall it .be a combination of both? I will Clinton Newa-Record, Clinton, Orit• For the past several years I have written a report from the 7...egisla.ture, which you have print- ,ed, These articles were mainly 'concerned with the functions' of "'Ole Legislature and other matters non-political. It was felt, how- 'eater, that anything I might write this year would be a repetition so • decided against a continuance of Abe practice, However, since the Session has now drawn to a close, • feel a brief review 'of what has 'taken place might be of interest "to your readers. The Session opened on February '1 with the usual' Speech from fhe 'Throne, in which some very int- Portant measures were forecast and much of it actually translated. Into legislation, Something of very real importance to Western On- 'taxi° has been started on its -.course. The Ontario Water Re- • Sources Commission has been formed. Its function will be to - devise ways, and means of piping "water from the Great Lakes to cities and towns which have not en adequate supply readily avail- able to take care of /their expan- '%sion and ever increasing needs, It will also have power to control and try to correct the problem of pol- lution of our •rivers and streams. 'This is a huge • undertaking' and will, involve millions of dollars of eaxpenditure and years of work. Water-Pipe Line Poisibly Stratford and the Kit- fnehener-Waterloo"area would, draw water from Lake Huron and a pipeline from a point just north of Grand Bend would be the' short- est route for such an undertaking. .1.f this comes to pass, many places 'through the southern part of the County would benefit. This is only one phase of this, vast undertaking *Which would be a. local interest. not attempt to answer either of these questions, but the Premier has, repeatedly said he, wants to be sure the kind of scheme put into operation will give the people of Ontario a hospital plan which will be workable and meet the needs of the people. Personally, I have expressed the view repeatedly that the position of the rural co-opera- tives must be protected in any scheme' which may be adopted. Brucellosis Act As the validity of the Farm. Products Marketing Act is in ques- tion and will come before the Supreme Court of Canada in the .course of another month, very little has been done about this Act at this session. The Premier has announced that a special session of the Legislature will be convened at a later date to consider this in the light of the decision of the 'Supreme Court,.- Another bill of importance to, the farmer is The Brucellosis Act. The Act has been entirely re- written and now provides• for: 1. Provincial admiffistration un- der a supervised area system. 2. Vaccinations and blood tests will be made without cost to ,the cattle owner. 3. Cattle owners will be cone; pensateci if a calf dies as a result of vaccination. Will Complete Highway 8 The Budget indicated that the revenue and also the spending will be at the highest level in the history of the province. Highway expenditures will be at an all time high. In• Huron, the work at pres- ent in progress on No. 8 will be continued. Paving will be com- pleted between Clinton and Gode- rich; the grading and culverts east of Seaforth will also be finished and money is provided in the esti- mates for paving as soon as the road is, in condition for this opera- tion. A similar situation exists on Highway No. 83, east of Exeter. When grading is completed, paving is provided for. As considerable planning and engineering work is necessary before actual construc- tion comences, I may say that the 'highways in the County will not be neglected and engineering work is well in hand. The expenditures **on highwaYS far exceeds the revenue. The in- come from gasoline taxes and the licence fees for cars and trucks, etc., will approximate 140 million dollars. Expenditure on new con- struction will cost approximately 85 million dollars; maintenance will absorb 48 million dollars; municipal subsidies for the maint- enance of their own roads and streets will account for 50 million, dollars. In addition, some 11 mil- lion dollars will be spent in acquir- ing land for widening existing roads and building new .four-lane highways. Education Over 108 million, dollars is al- lotted to-education, which with, the expenditures at the Ontario Agri- cultural College, will account for 28 percent of total government spending. New schools are requir- ed in increasing number* partic- ularly In the vicinity of the large cities. Grants to school boards' for new construction have been reduc- ed but all are treated alike. The grant per room is the same for a city school as it is for a small town. Busy Year In all, over one hundred and forty bills were enacted, Some of these, of course, were of a miner nature and involved simple changes in the wording of an existing act but designed to Clarify its meaning Others are designed to meet spec ial situations, While still others have a very far teaching effect on the whole province. Committees perform, a very real part of the work of the Session. Sixteen cerrimittees in all were appointed and your representative Was a metnber of 14 of them, As cerrirnittee Meeting are 1141d prac-tically every morning after the first week of the Session, it would seern to indicate a very busy time for the Members. As previously intimated, a spec, ial session of the Legislature will be called, probably in 3urie,. and there is a likelihood that another one will be held in the fall of the year. Xe views, of All of this, it will be seen that the job of being a member of the Legislature is becoming a full time one. Welcome Visitors The foregoing is a partial ac- count of what took place during the last session of the Legislature and I trust it will be accepted by my constituents' as a report by their member. It was a pleasure to have so many people from Hu- ron visit with me at the Parlia- ment Buildings and sit in and ob- serve the House in session. To many it was an old experience but to others it was new and int- eresting, I hope from year to year during the time the Legislature is in session it will be my privilege to welcome you in increasing num- hers.
