Report from Queen's Park The long awaited Hagey Commission Report on medicare for Ontario was tabled by the Government this week. Health Minister Matthew Dymond made the comment that the report was not the last word on a govern- ment plan. He said it would be unfair to bring a Hall Commis- sion type plan into effect when we are not sure we have the doc- tors, nurses and other staff to support it. THE FORMER EMPLOYEES OF W. G.

In estimating the subsidy cost, the report set premium at $70 a year for the single person, $140 for a family of two and $175 for a family of three or more. The report proposes four kinds of subsidies. 1. All persons on welfare to get 100% subsidy; 2. All per- sons not on welfare but who did not earn enough to pay income tax would get 70% of their pre- miums paid for by the govern- ment; 3. Those paying income tax. on an income of $500 or less after deductions would get 50% subsidy; 4. Those with tax- able income between $500 and $1000 a year would get a 25% subsidy. Briefly the main points are: 1. The private insurance com- panies will be the carriers; 2. The plan will not cover every resident of Ontario; 3. A means test is involved to determine the basis for subsidies. University estimates dom- inated the week's session as op- position parties queried the gov- Funeral Here for Jas. T. S.

Bible Is Topic At Unit Meeting WROXETER- The Harmony Unit of the United Church Wo- men met on Tuesday evening of last week in the church base-' ment. Mrs. McLean led the wor- ship service and the topic on "The Bible". Mrs. Hart read Scripture between comments ou the Bible topic which related to the writers of the old and new testaments, and their parch- ment writings. A discussion per- iod concerning the Scriptures, miracles and the modern era of religion proved interesting. Mrs. McLean gave a humor- ous reading, " The Crow". Hymns were sung with Mrs. A.E. Mar- tin at the piano. The president, Mrs. Irwin, took charge of the business. The minutes were read by Mrs. Mc- Michael, and the treasurer's report by Mrs. McLean.

Lunch was served by Mrs. Hart. We like the story about little Kenny buying a ticket for an afternoon movie. "Why aren't you in school?" the cashier asked. "I don't have to go," was the answer.
