ANNOUNCEMENT ONTARIO Ontario Hospital Insurance will now cover dependent children to 21st birthday Beginning September 1, 1965, benefits under the Ontario Hospital Insurance "Family" pre- mium will be extended to cover eligible un- married, unemployed dependent children until they reach their 21st birthday (rather than to the 19th birthday as in the past). This will apply, also, to the supplementary 'semi-private' co- verage for which some residents remit additional premiums to private carriers through the Com- mission. Separate premiums will be required when such dependants reach age 21, or marry, or become regularly employed. Applications for registration are available in hospitals, banks, Province of Ontario Savings Offices and Commission offices, The Family premium, however, will cover a person over age 21 who is dependent upon the insured parent or guardian because of physical or mental infirmity, provided he or she was the insured person's dependant before age 21. Refund of Premiums An unmarried, unemployed person who will now become eligible as a Family dependant under age 21 because of this new regulation, and for whom separate premiums have already been prepaid beyond September 1, 1965, is entitled to a refund of premiums back to that date. Re- funds must be requested as this is the only means of identifying those eligible. The form at the bottom of this announcement is for the convenience of Pay Direct members in claiming this refund. Premiums prepaid through a group (other than as an employee) will be refunded through the group. Note: Commission literature is being changed to show the new age limit, In the meantime, please read all references to age 19 in existing pamphlets as "age 21".

Some people say to me, "It must be quite a chore writin' that there column every week." The only difficulty is getting started. Tonight is column night. Midnight is the deadline. I sat down at the typewriter at 6.30, so I'd have lots of time to watch TV after I wrote the column. I worked quietly until 8.30. Very quietly. No noisy typewriter. Peeled out pristine sheet with interesting lines, "S u gar and Spice, by Bill Smiley", at the top. Threw it in wastebasket. Decided to mow lawn to relieve mental constipation. Then had a beer. Bundling magazines for tomor- row's garbage, came across fas- cinating article on Procastina- tion in the Middle-aged Male. Helped Kim get valves unstuck in French horn. Moved water sprinkler on lawn. Whipped up tea and grub for television room gang, The Fugitive is still run- ning. Or re-running. It's now 10.30. Time to get cracking. But maybe I'll just an- swer a few letters, to get in the writing mood. There's nothing that cheers me up and inspires me like reading the warm and friendly notes from column rea- ders. Here's a nice fat one. Six pages, small writing. From Miss Edna Wegman, "Dear Mr. Smiley: Oh, you poor little pygmy) My heart bleeds for you." Woops. Let's try the next paragraph. "Now, after feeling sorry for yourself and your fellow males, for males they are and not MEN, wake up and face reality." This one sounds better. "Dear Bill: I'll call you Bill instead of Mr. Smiley, seeing I always thought of you as a friend, that is until your recent column in which you were lambasting wo- men." By George, a bad week. Here's Linda Alton taking me down a few pegs for knocking the Beatles. She has me all wrong. I love the Beatles. I have to, in self- preservation, or I'd go slaver- ing mad every time I drive the car with my kids in it. Let's see. Here's a letter ad- dressed to me, by Gwen Sar- etsky. Good old Gwen. She must really like my column. She's written about 1,000 words. Hey, this is pretty good. She's commenting on a recent column in which I suggested that mod- ern women had gone to pot, while men are the same steadfast, gallant chaps they were in Jul- ius Caesar's day. Gwen says; "1 wonder if Cleopatra ever had to drive one of her gladiators home in a chariot after one of those Roman parties. There Would be an advantage to a char- iot. The over-zealous party-goer would get more air while spraw- led in an open chariot than the modern male does when his wife is driving home from a party and he has to relax with his head out the window." Hmmm. Talk about lambasting. A few others, picked at random. "I agree that man hasn't changed much since Caesar's day; I rea- lly don't believe that it's poss- ible . . . It's against their mor- al code to pick up, or hang up, a piece of clothing . . This spe- cies of human manages to con- tradict itself more than any other of God's creatures. . . Nobody is, was, or ever could be, as sick as a man with a cold". There's a lot more in the same vein, so well written it's like listening to my own wife. But I haven't time to sympa- thize with Mr. Saretsky right now. I have a column to write. Mrs. Jane Somerville, of Lucan, in a floor-length rust chiffon with corsage of tawny roses. For a honeymoon trip to Nor- thern Ontario, the bride donned a green and beige figured silk shift with matching willow green coat, beige leather hat and mat- ching accessories.
