* '■■•vi f i . 1 * ■ 'A move by the ambulance opera
tors across the province to have ambu
lance calls paid through hospitalization
insurance will undoubtedly give way
? to a great deal of controversy.
/Though ambulance operators are
justified »n their concern about the dif
ficulties involved in keeping their
operation -solvent, the public may not
like the idea of paying additional dol
lars! annually for a service they will
seldom require. :
Two . local ambulance services
were discontinued recently because the
operators found it impractical to con
tinue; An Ontario Ambulance Act which
lays down the regulations for ambu
lances and their operators is certainly
of no assistance when it comes to col
lecting accounts.
In the majority of cases—particu
larly traffic accidents and the like-
persons requiring ambulance service do
not authorize that an ambulance be
summoned. They awake in hospital or
elsewhere to find 'hey are responsible
for the expense .ricurred by the am
bulance and the operator who picked
them up. While most persons feel an
obligation to pay the bills, an alarming
number refuse — this is what causes
headaches for the ambulance operators.
Just recently, one ambulance,
driver told of an incident where a bill
for ambulance service was returned
with the notation, J'Go to hell". Shortly
afterwards, the same man was in need
of .ambulance service again. Asked the
driver, "Should I. pick him up or tell
him to follow my bill?"
Other problems include the num
ber of ambulance patients who can
From time to time, we receive
interesting ’ comments taken from the
Canada Trust Bulletin. This month we
were particularly pleased to note a plea
for joint estate planning—by both hus
band and wife.
, ; As most solicitors will tell us, there
is often an appalling lack of knowledge
about financial affairs, on the part of a
widow when her husband dies. The
following editorial discusses some rea
sons for this, and offers advice for
couples in the matter of estate plan
ning. '
"Why is it that a man will discuss
his estate plans with his advisors, his
business associates or his golf partner,
but not with his wife?
Recently we administered an
estate of a man whose widow was.
completely unaware that her husband,
in the few years prior to his death, had
PAGE
never be reached for payment because
of lack of information about names and
addresses; the fal§e alarms where more
ambulances than necessary are called
to an accident scene; and the occasional
ho^x call by some practical joker.
No service—no matter how neces-
.sary—can operate without adequate
funds!
Some municipalities subsidize am
bulance services in their own areas, but
we doubt that this is a proper solution.
Though hospitalization insurance prem
iums would rise, the total cost of suf
ficient, well-equipped a m b u I a n c es
throughout the province would be
spread over the largest possible popu
lation, thereby resulting in the most
economical arrangement for all.
transferred to her a large interest in his
company and several parcels of real
estate;
Sometimes a husband might think
he has valid reasons for not discussing
such things with his wife. Perhaps he
feels he is shielding her from worry
and concern. However, if he could
foresee the administrative difficulties
which can be created by his action,
not the least of which is the tax com
plications involved, he would not take
such an attitude.
We realize that some estate plans
are complicated, but most are not. If
the testator can explain the plan to his
family, he should do so. If he cannot, his
estate advisor should be asked to ex
plain it.
Some matters between husband
and wife might be top secret, but we
do not believe estate planning to be
one of them.

Children knew that one UNICEF
penny will pay the freight on enough
free surplus milk powder to send six
glasses of milk to a hungry child in an
impoverished land. They know that fivg
pennies will , buy enough penicillin to
cure two children of yaws; that ten will
cure a child's trachoma;that twenty-five
will vaccinate 20 children against TB.
What they don't know is that in
sortie villages in Turkey today, parents
don't register a baby's birth right away;
they wait first to see if it will live. And
if the mother loses her first child, she
makes if a point not. to prepare any
clothes for the second until she's sure
it will survive.
Even so, the children are trying
' to help these infants to live by collect
ing pennies on Hallowe'en. The candies
and apples they collect in shopping
bags that night may end up as stomach
aches net day, but the pennies they get
may end up in Turkey, shortening the
appalling odds against survival in
countries where one child in six dies
before its first year is out.
The'children understand this part
of it, and that's why many are collecting
"pennies for UNICEF" on Hallowe'en.

I wonder what a teacher of

walked into a classroom today?

Because X-Ray film proces

offers a satisfying career for-
trained blind persons. The Can

do it from Home Teachers,

the cord instead of the iron.
The cord will lead the hand of
