Advances in medical science

The demand for blood, and
therefore, blood donors, is
always increasing.
Such basic truths tend to

In '• addition, limited

Blood Donor Service was
launched nationwide from

BAYFIELD RD, GODERICH
Approximately 4 months ago I moved my family and
myself from Point Claire in the province of Quebex.
I was under the impression that QHiB (Quebec Health
Insurance Board) would cover us for a full 3 months after
we moved, but apparently this is not so, because in our
case they only covered us for 2 ,months and 8 days and
have failed to get a satisfactory explanation from them.
i am hoping that perhaps you people can get them to
rectify their mistake or at least obtain the, reason behind all
this.
There is no mistake and here is the reason why!
There is an agreement in effect between the various Provtj'rtrcial
Health Plans across Canada- which state that when a person
moves from one Province to•gnother, the original Province will
cover the mover's medical needs, up to the end of the second
month .following. the month of the person's arrival in: his' new
Province.
In .your case then' it would appear that the 8 days was the
remainder of time left in the first month.
Another agreement i.r effect between Provinces allow.for new-
comers to receive benefits commencing' on the first day of. the
third month after new`arrival date. i •

One of -our readers wrote to us a nice letter recently to -
inform us that although she didn't. require our help site
thought Wemight be interested in a "happy ending" to a
problem that she -had experienced with,-Westclox in Peter-
borough.
•
According to out -reader she was the,owner of a Big Ben
alarm clock which she had had for ;14 months, when
suddenly it ceased to run properly, (kept stopping with
great regularity) so she packed it in the original box and
'sent it with a short note to the Westclox Company, stating
that she was aware that the 12 month warranty- period
had expired and she was willing to pay a nominal charge
to. have it fixed.
She was thrilled and delighted when she received a
lovely letter from the manager of General Time of 'Canada
Ltd. in Peterborough, telling her.that -a brand new alarm
clock had been sent at NO CHARGE!., • ' •
She was so pleased that she `wanted .us to share her
happiness with our. readers. — It's always a pleasure, to
"Tip oorwee Scottish Bonnett" to any reputable firm that
keep their customers "happy"'
