Lucanites who through Janu- ary predicted a mild winter have ehanged their minds, as storm after storm dumps more snow on the village. County and village snowplows have piled record depths of snow on the street shoulders. Much of this snow has overflowed onto the sidewalks until resi- dents have abandoned all at- tempts to keep them cleaned and are content to dig a ten. net out to the street, Even this has to be re-opened each time the snow passes. Most of .Luean's many com• routers. have been able to safe- ly make London, Centralia and Exeter each day but a few have had major accidents and many have been stalled, The slight incline on Beech street to Alice street has proven a "Waterloo" to many motorists who have had to be dug out or pushed out, The majority, after trying in vain to make the grade, have backed up and gone around the block, One wise driver at least carried a couple of pails of ashes in the car trunk which on more than one occasion has proven a god- send. A week ago, i8 storm-ttayed travellers were taken by Con- stable Cowan to the Strasser restaurant as there is no over- night accommodation in the village. Last Monday the Explorer meeting had to he cancelled. On Tuesday night the Ailse Craig Legion, who were sup- posed to be guests of the.

It is vital, therefore, that every hospital bed in Ontario be used only when it is essential in the treatment of a patient. Proper use of hospital beds is a matter of concern to every resident of the province. To help make more hospital beds available,,, the Commission now will 'provide Ontario Hospital Insurance benefits to an insured person who receives hospital care, as an out-patient, for which he or she, otherwise, would require admission as an in-patient to stay in hospital overnight. IMPORTANT These benefits will be provided only if the hospital has the required facilities and after these facilities have been authorized for such out- patient use by the local hospital board on the advice of its medical staff. Here are the details: • Benefits will cover only the hospital charges for Medical and surgical treatment procedures which, otherwise, would require the patient to be admitted to hospital, Examples of these procedures are cer- tain minor operations, clictro-shock treatments, blood transfusions, etc, .4 It is up to the patient's doctor to decide whether the treatment will be given on an in-patient or out- patient basis. • Visits to established regUlar clinics in hospital out- patient departments are NOT covered, Extension of EMERGENCY Out-Patient Benefits Effective March 1, 1962, when an insured person has received emergency hospital treatment for a fracture within 24 hours of an accident, Ontario Hospital Insurance also will cover subsequent out-patient services for check X-rays and the change or removal of cast, until treatment of the fracture is completed. Hospital treatment for emergency conditions other than fractures will NOT be covered beyond the first visit to hopital within 24 hours of an accident., POINTS TO nth/1E10815N 1.
