HEALTH PLAN OFFERS
Though V'e` are not yet fully con-
versant with all the details of the
tion al 'health plan which is to
Comb into effect about °fourteen
raonths from now, it is evident that

ity for most families, and Nvill be
most appreciated in the lower in-
come brackets to xvhich most of us
belong,
hospitalization insurance has
become fairly comunm. with the av,,„
erage wage earner and has proved a
great boon to many families when
treatment. became necessary. The
great weakness with most hospital-
ization plans, however, has been the.
time:liunt placed upon benefits.'As.
long as an illness did not exceed the
thirty. or perhaps even ninety days
-set out in the policy all was well, but
there are many cases in whiCh

The new health plan . Will provide

payable.
It does seem apparent that hos-
pitals will be required ..to be fairly
- careful about the ."chronic" 'patients
maintained - in their care. The
authorities: in charge of the plan
will insist that only thoSe who are.

kept in hospitals:, This more critical
selection of _patients, is 'likely to
weed out .good .many.. older pa-.
e11ts -who are not - only in pOor
. alth bitt haVe'nd other place to go
where they can be looked after..
Thus we are brought face to face
with a problem which has long
plagued public welfare people — the
need for a new type of home where.
aging folks,: who are not -well
enough to live alone, but who are
not sick enough for hospital treat-
ment, can be accommodated. Even
INFORMATION NEEDED
A despatch in The Clinton News-
Record last week states that the
chief technical officer at RCAF Sta-.
titan Clinton has confirmed the re-
port that natural gas will be Piped
to that establishment from fields in
Stanley Township. near :Bay field`'. •
Another story from Toronto
sources tells of oil wells in the 'Grand
Bend area producing regularly,
Perhaps we are not up-to-date on
such matters but • it would appear
that the pUblic is entitled to a little
more information on the extent and
value of the natural resources which
Ray lie beneath our feet. For sev-
erai years the major oil companies
have been drilling test wells at'
points over N1,7estern 'Ontario;
and then capping them off after
leasing the oil an.7d gas rights from
farmers who own the land.
ii our capacity as repOrterS of
Whatever may lie in the public inter-
est we have tried many times to
secure information as to the discov-
eries — whether or not they are of
significant value,. Information was
simply not forthcoming, presumably
to prevent an increase in lease rates.
TaXpayers in most of the towns
iii this part of Ontario are contrib-
ing' to the costs of a development
association, prime purpose of which
ig to interest industry in locating
_here. The association has enumerat-
ed every known adYantage Athith is
ta be found in this area including
our better-than-average water 're-
sOitrees. Surely if natural gas ,is
available the fact should be an-
nounced so that iltTlnstry could be
offered that added i ducement.

,THE LESSON WAS
OVERDUE
Soviet-leaders must be all Aglow
with the• pride of accomplishment
these clays — that sweet -sensation
of having left the other Fellow flat-
footed,'Not only have they Manag-
ed to get the first artificial satelite
into space, they have two f them up
there and easily might hate it a.
baker's dozen before the western
powers get irp the race.
It is, of course, quite • passible
that a year from now the Russian
scientists will be bested at their own
game, for a satelite has been
under construction in the United
.States for irony months and its
launching date was• previously pre-
dicted for next year. American ex-
perts were no doubt making meth-
odical progress on the instruments
which it would ,airy to provide:the
earth people wjth detailed informa-
tion about outer space. Again it is
possible that the Soviets preferred
to -use their knowledge of space exT
ploration largely for its propagan-
da value, rather than waiting to
perfect the MOM: useful data-gather- . niginstruments. .
Alt those things are possible —
but on the other hand it IS eq u ally
possible that they are many jumps
ahead of us in the development of
both the instrutne:ntS carried in the
half-ton sphere and in the all-impar-
tam rocket technique which per-
mitted them to project it into. its
orbit. Certainly there are many in-
formed people in the Western world
who believe the latter theory,
Whatever may be true, even the
run-of-the-mill citizen of. our half of
the globe is now fully aware that
the Russians are something More
than a dumb collection of braggarts
and bluffers. The last fragment's of
isolationism should have been lost
in. the United States right after
Pearl Harbor, but in recent months
there has been ample evidence that
fairly influential thinking in the U.S.
was veering back to the self-assur-
ance of pre-war years. President
Eisenhower put a sharp end to that
state of mind last week when• he
named-a new' mastermind fo-r the
American scientific development
program. The new man imMediate-
lv warned that he would brook ao
inter-service rivalfy which might de-
lay the development of scientific
weapons and instruments and gave
notice that l'a.urn teams had
better get ready for action.
There is one note of hope in the
whole situation, X)fdinary folks
would be perfectly happy if the
boundless energy of rival nations
were directed into a race Thr the
moon, rather than b_ race toward ;an-
nihilation. Surely with the endless
