Special "bonus" plan for On-
tario hospitals, announced by
Premier Leslie Frost Monday,

tall with over $5.0130 a year to

expansion.
This was revealed by local
board chairman, B. W. Tuckey,
who attended the meeting of the
Ontario Hospital Association in
Toronto, where the announce-
ment of the special grant was
made.
The "bonus", based on $150 a
bed, will be in addition to reve-
nue hospitals will receive from
the new provincial insurance
plan which goes into effect Janu-
ary 1. Authorities said the grant
may he used for repair of exist-
ing buildings, future expansion
or payment of debt.

Mr. ;ruckey said the grant to
South Huron would probably be
earmarked for future expansion.
The board already has plans for
a new wing and is attempting to

Surprise announcement of the
grant provided 'relief for admin-
istrators who were worried
about costs under the. insurance
plan. It will particularly help
those hospitals which have run
into debt,

population to shoulder this res-
ponsibility- Our actions will be
in support of the profession's be-
lief that every citizen should
have the opportunity to meet
hospital costs by insurance," Dr.
'Baldwin stated,
Results of a study by the
O,M,A,, and their 'consequent re-
commendation to the Hospital
Services --Commission, paved the
way for the hospital insurance
plan to include payment for all
drugs in common use which a
patient may require in an ap-
proved hospital,.
"Thus there will be no ceiling
on the amount or kind of drugs
used and it will be ,up to the
medical staffs of the individual
hospitals to evaluate excessive
or abusive use of drugs by their
staffs."
"I believe the continuation of
this unrestricted policy of 'pay-
ing for all drugs will depend on
the common sense of doctors Or-
dering such. Let us not have
developed a restricted drug list
simply because a few are un-
scrupulous, Let us, the medical
profession, continue to develop
active and' authoritative phar-
macy committee in our hospi-
tals," Dr. Baldwin urged dele-
gates,
Speaking on behalf of the board
of directors of the O.M,A., Dr.
Baldwin criticized the current
distribution of health grahts by
the federal government, litt said
they now amounted to 81.0.000,-
000 a year and that the medical
'profession has not the opportu-
nity to evaluate them.
"They appear insidious, and
while the federalgovernment
contributes the money, it •'exerts
a control on the province re-
ceiving same. The 0.M.A. thinks
it is time that health grants in
Ontario are assessed by the med-
ical professions "

meeting was .Rev. 'P. E. Butter-
woor'th, Stratford, Nearly 300

Tuckey reported after hearing

grant is particularly gratify-
"
Delegates Ix o iii (he local
board also learned that 90 per-
cent of the people in the prov-
ince have been enrolled for the
new insurance plan, which
means hospitals are assured of
payment for almost all of their
services, except those to indi-
gent patients. A study is being
made to overcome this problem.
The new plan will mean an
end to provincial maintenance
grants �i ants but the entire costs of op-
eration will be paid by the com-
mission as part of the daily rate
set by each hospital, Special
capital 'grants for construction
will still be available.
The new rate for South Huron
Hospital, based on a .1958 "test -
run" budget, will probably he
$16 per day for ward care, esti-n-
eared to the present $8 a day.
This new rate, however, will in-
clude drugs, operating room X-
ray and other costs and it will
be paid in full under the insur-
ance plan.
Mr, Tuckey said the commis-
sion stressed that boards will
continue to operate hospitals be-
cause the Vovernment does not
desire to take over complete con-
+trot,

Freedom
Sniping`?
Do you ever worry about the
fact that your freedom as a ci-
tizen seems to be 'slipping away
from you?
Have you wondered what will
happen to farming, when the
packing companies and feed
mills take over? If they take
over,
Is a lack of credit to run your
Farm stopping you from doing
the things that you'd like to do?
Could farmers borrow a leaf
front the' book of labor unions,
and use stronger organization
as a means to more freedom?
These are just random ques-
tions picked front the list which
sparked the 1958-59" National
Farm Forum topics, They re-
present questions asked of farm
people, and by farm people,
over the years. And they hit on
some of the most crucial prob-
lems of fanners today.
Take the subject vertical .in-
tegratio:n, for instance. in the
United. States, where its growth
has been charted, whole coun-
ties, anti even States, have gone
into contract production, while
the little farmer's fitting has
dwindled, Men who got into the
integrating early; 'as far back
as 1937, now control niillions of
broilers; thousands of hogs, and
literally hundreds of thousands
of laying hens.
What yloes this Mean- for Cr'an-
adian Agriculture? Well, during
January, every Monday evening,
at 8:30, National Farm Forum
will try to find out.
Then, very shortly , . on
November 3, conies the subject
of "freedom". Can farriers have.
personal f r e e d. o m today? Or
should it be replaced with a
stronger, more useful .kind
freedom through an organiza-
tion? That program is also at
8:30 and it will feature some
thought-provoking 'panelists.
And on November 17, Farm
roman invades the show -ring,
What has it chine for agricul-
ture? What will performant•e
testing do to the show -ring? is
show livestock Hid of dale? Of-
ficials expect a fiery debate that
night.

of the pipeline discussions in
hopes that a Lake Huron pipe-
