gospital Plan
The much discussed. 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. The members regret that
