Dymond has announced that residents of the Province may still receive full Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan coverage and benefits by July 1st providing they enroll in the Plan before May 16th. "The Plan is a success," declared the Minister. "The number of applications received already cover more than 1,100,000 of our citizens." Dr. Dymond added, how- ever, that a large number of residents had indicated they would join OMSIP but for a variety of reasons had been unable to send in their application in time. The OMSIP open enrollment period has therefore been extended by two weeks in order that these persons may qualify for coverage from the day the Plan goes into effect on July 1st. OMSIP head office is located at 1 35 St. Clair West, Toronto. Applications are already being processed by modern micro-photo methods and computers. 1•0111•••••011. 111.• .11m.....4111•1=ms.J.110' ."&et goezx geie Xe'end Xnecelcie2/4 Don't ask where your dol- lars have gone . .
