Approve Program Of 'Medic Alert' The Saugeen Life Under- writer's Association heard a de- tailed report on the annual meeting of the Canadian As- sociation, held in Toronto, when they met last Friday in Clifford. The report was given by Gordon Raeburn of Durham, who was the delegate. One of the highlights of the Toronto meeting was the ad- dresses by Al Robinson of Lon- don, Rudy Merman of Detroit and Herb Williams of Winni- peg. Each spoke from his own office, the 15-minute address- es being made by telephone and relayed over the public ad- dress system. The meeting voted approval of the Medic Alert Foundation program in Canada, as well as financial support. This is a non-profit organization dedi- cated to educating and en- couraging individuals to wear on their person identification of medical problems that should be known in case of emergency. To accent the vital message of an existing medical problem the Foundation distributes "Medic Alert" emblems. On one side of the emblem "dia- betic", "allergic to penicillin" or whatever problem the wear- er has, is engraved. The Foundation maintains a central file, accepting on a 24 hour basis collect calls from anywhere in the world, relay- ing information from the file pertaining to the wearer of the Medic Alert emblem. Each emblem is registered and is en- graved with a serial number and the telephone number for the central file. The Toronto address is 176 George Street. Members of local Life Underwriters Associa- tion will provide assistance or information on request. Companies or trade unions that deny people employment or promotion because of age will face fines of up to $500 un- der legislation introduced in the legislature this week by Labour Minister H. L. Rowntree. The Bill called the Age Discrimina- tion Act was given first reading. The Bill is designed to pre- vent discrimination in employ- ment in connection with hiring and treatment of persons be- tween 40-65 on the basis of age. Many capable older people are being denied the opportunity to work because of the popular idea that once a person reaches a certain age his usefulness as an individual in the work world is no longer apparent. Of course this isn't true, so it is hoped that this Bill will do a great deal to correct this situa- tion. Education Minister William W.
