They are to be asked to; contribute two per cent, df their salaries, the employer adding one per cent, of his payroll to. toe insurance funds. In .return for these contributions the beneficiary will re­ ceive medical care by the physician or surgeon chosen by him, services of diagnostic laboratories and no,3 less than 50 percent, of. medicalcostsilt is estimated that there arc 110,000 office and 'industria! workers who will come under the insurance scheme the total number affected, including the wives and children of the directly in- . cured, bringing the number of bene­ ficiaries. direct and indirect up to -275,000. / .

The duty of the State, they argue, is to see that the poor are not merely kept from starvation and ex­ posure in. times of crisis but are equally safe-guarded against the -physicaldeteriorationthatgoes.wito both preventive and curative. The British Columbia plan is go­ ing to be wafched with the closest and keenest attention and interest. Something of the kind is in the wind in many‘states and countries, and the pioneering work done on this Contin­ ent by the Western. Canadian Pro­ vince will undoubtedly furnish a basis opon which other schemcs with the same general objective willj be found­ ed. Aberhart Holds £5,000 Can Provide Turnover of $40,000 LACOMBE, Alta. —- Circulation of of.$5,000 in stamped scrip in toe pro­ vince would produce from $40,000 to 650,000. in business in one year. Premier Aberhart told an audience here recently. The premier placed Alberta’s debts, including provincial, municipal and private obligations, at 8611.000,000. He said > he decided no more money must be borrowed. Though provin­ cial interest rates had been reduced, Alberta bonds would be gilt-edged, be predicted, when the province had be­ come industrialized. The province plans almost immed­ iate issues of $250,000 in certificates to be used as a medium of exchange. Holders must affix one-per cent., stamp each week and the scrip will be redeemed after two years. Mr. Aberharfs reference to inter­ est cuts was to the 50 per4 cent de­ crease in interest rates on the entire provincial debt last June 1.

The second film show­ ed how the young workers could make use of continued education to get higher wages and make new openings for themselves.
