An ounce of prevention
(t seers the Hulron County Board of
Education • is taking the correct steps by
attempting to provide dental insurance for
the'students'it serves.

Ca su.e l ty Company is ' releasing
information throughout the proviri'ce of
'Ontario advisin that mouth injuries are
most prevalent i school accidents.
The statem nt from the insurance
company tells that injuries to the mouth
and teeth are a major source of the some
$2 million in medical -dental -hospital bills
which the firm pays annually on behalf of
the more than one Million school children
it covers under its comprehensive student
group accident insurance plans.
That was the opinion of many
members of the Huron County Board of
Education as well 'when it agreed, to drop '
the present insurance policy which
parents- have been ,purchasing for their
Bouquets
child.re , at the end of this,,school year.
Some members even went so far as' to
suggest that even the dental coverage
available ,through the present policy was
inadequate since the ` costs -for dental
repair run very, very high.

afraid to report
Canadian government which
', affect all of us' as Canadian
.:citizens. Here I do not mean to
imply , that Pierre Trudeau's
expertise :at mouthing° words
should be reported, but 'I mean
that .'The' Signal -Star' ,-"should
report or at least give its
subscribers' some idea of ``what
type of policy is being advocated
or • some of ,the issues being
debated in both ' the Federal
Parliament and, the 'Provincial
Legislative Assembly. I find that
in this field "the local rag", is
lacking. In fact, 'The Signal-Stae
is so spotty in this area that I
would go so far as to say that
any, publication of this
newspaper'would not even make
good restroom reading, I• -„
An example of this lack of,
publishing news which ' may be
of interest -to your subscribers
occurred just ••recently when in
Dalton Camps column in the
'Toronto Telegram' meentiin was
made to • the Member of
Parliament for __'Huron. 'The
Signal -Star' apparently did not
even read "this article. It is my
opinion That 'The Signal -Star'
would .not reprint this article for
'_fear that some of the local's
supporters of . the
'-aforementioned member might
feel -slighted and cancel their
suliScription to their. only source
,of news. It is also my opinion
that 'The Signal-Star',in
attempting to' rentiai'n neutrl on
.a matter such as this would
neither attempt to defend the
Honorable Member nor would
'The ,-Signal-Star' attempt- to,
verify this story even if it were
reprinted.
Inconclusion I find that 'The
Signal -Star' does an excellent' job
of publishing all, of .the local
news; but I have also found that
'The Signal -Staff' does aT rather
poor job. of _ reporting and
publishing any news about the
affairs of, the • --Federal or
Provincial• governments.
' Yours sincerely,
Patrick Melady.
