Since the inauguration of the On-

hospitalization insurance in January
of last year there appears to he a
growing opinion on the part of the
public that individual, hospitals are
.piling,up big Surpluses in their bank
accounts. Nothing could be farther
from the truth.
This belief in the affluence of
hospitals arises naturally enough,
for in most instances it v‘ as neces-
sary for hospitals to sharply increase
the rates charged for their rooms

force, The increased rates do not

CHILDISH ATTITUDE
Last Friday night, on the CBC's
late news, the head of one of the big
Ainerican unions was shown as he
told how many difficulties would be
put in the way of a smooth landing
for the' ship on which Soviet leader
Iirushchev was to arrive in New
Tork harbour. He said his men
would picket the ship and cause
every -possible delay and distUrbance.
He also had words about the "beard-
ed beatnik" from Cuba, in the person
of Fidel Castro.
The outburst of childishness
could hardly be calculated to impress
otn:,international opponents with the
responsible wisdom of the lab& lead-
em in the Western world. .,At the
present , time there does appear to
be a great 'deal of strong feeling
where Russia-and Cuba are concern-
ed, .but if American organized labor
can think of no better way of meet-
,ing these _grave problems than by

provement:
- DRIVING TEACHERS
GRADUATE
In July. ,another class graduated
from the Ontario Safety League's
Teacher Training course in Driver
'Education. This year Professor L.
D. Campbell of the New York State
Teachers' College, had 21 enthu-
' siastic high school teachers, turned
student for two weeks to prepare
themselves ,as instructors in driver
education.
All sections of the province were
represented at this course, one teach-
er coming from as far as Fort Pran-
ces.
The course members were kept
busy with classes, lectures, tests and
practice sessions in dual-equipped
cars. Many discovered they had
poor driving habits. Without ex-
ception they 'finished up the course
with a better attitude and more skill
in handling an automobile.
These were the personal gains
for those who attended-a bonus to
the techniques acquired for instruct-
ing teen-age students in the safe
'operation of ,a motor vehicle.
In June of this year 47 schools
were offering an extra-curricular
course in driver instruction. This
total reached 65 when 18 additional
schools offered driver instruction at
the opening of the fall term.

their financial status.
The present hospital financing
plan has been set up in the hope
that hospitals will neither make
money . . nor lose. They are sup-
posed to be providing full service on
a non-profit basis. That is the
theory of the plan. So far, in actual
practice, many smaller hospitals
have been falling steadily behind in
their finances, The Wingham Gen-
eral Hospital, as an example, has
shown a small monthly surplus at
times daring the past year and a,
half, less than the allowable depreci•
ation which should be .set aside for
the necessary purchase of new equip-
ment, and adjustments of accounts
between the local hospital and 'OHISC
may well absorb a .considerable por-
tion of even that amount. .
The entire hospital insurance
scheme is still so completely. in -its
infancy that there -are likely to be
lots of headaches and perhaps even
grave inequities before the Whole
operation is running smoothly. ••
• Just bear' this in mind-when' you

much profit the hospital is realizing,
you can be sure they don't know
whereof they speak ... . and•you
might even warn -them that the
worst is yet to come; for we would.
prophesy a sharp increase in OHSC
premiums within a matter _ -of

every indication that we are not yet
meeting the full and-complete 'costs
of our hospital system.

TAX RELIEF, JOBS IN
OTTAWA'S PLANS
With one eye on the economic
barometer, the federal government
is charting its course for the months
ahead, writes Don Peacock in The
Financial Post. That course has a
couple of alternate routes, but if the
storm • signals get much worse, it
will certainly include: A fall session
of Parliament. Some radical pro-
posals involving both taxation mea-
sures and make-work plans.
The tax measures now being dis-
cussed here would have the two-
pronged aim of encouraging develop-
ment of Canadian industry and is
Canadianization. Among the possi-
bilities 1. Accelerated depreciation
of capital costs for machinery, equip-
ment and factory buildings by Ca-
nadian secondary industry (retom-
mended by the Gordon commission
in 1957). 2. Tax incentives to en-
courage more production for ex-
port - especially by foreign sub-
sidiaries -of manufactured pro-
ducts. 3. Lower tat rates for tOrn-
parties' that can show a stipulated
percentage of Canadian ownership,

A TWIST OF SAND
by Geoffrey Jenkins
is one of the most exciting ad-
venture stories I have ever read.
It is a story primarily of the sea
and its fascination reminded me of
the spell cast over inc when I read
that sea classic Herman Melville's
"Moby Dick". Both books kept me
breathless.
Most of the action takes place on
the southwest coast of Africa,
known as the Skeleton Coast, be-
cause of the death and destruction
lurking there. Not only is the navi-
gation made difficult by shifting
sandbars, unusual currents and un-
charted rocks, but also the land is
forbidding. This is the region of
the arid Kalahari desert, ringed
by towering fountain ranges, in-
habited 'by wild •animals extinct
elsewhere, Death dogs the foot-
steps of all travellers in this part
of the World.
The story is told in the first
person by Geoffrey MacDonald,
presumed to he a South African,
captain of a fishing vessel, An
Englishman, Garland, and a Scots-
man, Maeradden, are his navigator
and engineer. Through a series of
peculiar coincidences and pressures
MacDonald finds himself taking an
expedition inland to locate a rare
species of :beetle. To understand
Why Mae-Donald allows himself aIi
bet unwillingly to undertake this
trip, We have to go Seventeen years
