On Sunday last was Mother's Day, a day set aside to honor mother. It was a day when children gather together to be with their mothers. Some came from nearby, while others came from abroad to show their love and respect. Others, for some reasons, are not able to at- tend Mother's Day, so they send greeting cards or gifts to mark the occasion. Mothers of all ages take part in Mother's Day, the young, the middle aged and those who are bent with age with hair of snowy white. All of them had made preparations. The young mother cherish- ed her infant s, the mid- dle-aged mother enjoyed the day set aside with her growing family, ,while the elderly moth- er, whose children had gone Mr. and Mrs, William Weising and daughter, of Sarnia, spent Mother's Day at the home of Isidore and Mrs. Josephine Du - charm, where they joined with other members of the family.

BOB'S Barber Shop from the paternal home to establish homes of their own, were greeted by mother on their arrival on Mother's Day. This day is celebrated through- out our land to mark the sym- bol of love. Mother's Day has existed throughout the passing 'centur- ies from the beginning of time, for without mothers the crea- tion would not have been com- pleted. Mother's Day should be every day in the year, for mothers have always played their role and will do so for all time to come. Those who have their mothers living should be grateful and well for them to greet their mothers on all occasions. It is also well for chidren to seek advise from mothers, as mothers of all ages are always ready to give words of consolation and encourage- ment to their children when obstacles mar their daily rou- tine. Those who are mother- less, due to death, can approach their mothers in prayers for their eternal happiness. (Continued from last week) After their school was built it meant a meeting place for them to get together and dis- cuss matters and come to some decisions. They organized and elected men of their choice; men who were not learned but men who were gifted with in- telligence, As aforesaid, the parish was established by settlers of dif- ferent nationalities and creeds, but this was not in their way when working for the benefit of their parish and for its pro- gress. Each year promised a better one for them than the past one. More of their small plots of land had been +cleared, more road outlets were provided by the council of the Township of Hay, giving them access to meet with other settlers in the east- ern part of the township and from those settlers they gained new information and ideas.

B. 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. "The May 16th deadline is final," added the minis- ter. "This enrollment dead- line cannot be extended any further because it takes time to process such a flood of applications even with the most modern equipment available." The extension of the open enrollment period means that those residents who have already enrolled,. and those who enroll before May 16th, will be protected; by OMSIP, beginning July 1st. Ontario residents who en- roll after May 16th will have to undergo a minimum three month waiting period before they are entitled to OMSIP coverage and bene- fits, said Dr. Dymond. OMSIP head office is located at 135 St. Clair West, Toronto. Applications are already being processed by modern micro -photo methods and computers. OLD AGE PENSIONERS Many old age pensioners have automatically been enrolled in OMSIP but most must fill in and submit an application. Those who will get automatic coverage are pensioners who are presently receiving benefit under The Ontario Old Age Assistance Aet, or those pensioners who have been declared eligible for coverage by the Ontario Department of Welfare. These pensioners have already received their OMSIP registration cards. All other pensioners must complete and submit an appli- cation to receive OMSIP coverage. If you have not received an OMSIP registration card, or have not already sent in an application form, you mustapply before May 16th for coverage when the Plan starts on July lst. Notification of acceptance to be sent out shortly People who have already enrolled in DMSA' need not apply a second time. Dr. Dymond stated that their applications are now being processed, and their notification will arrive in the mail very soon.

OMSIP IS VOLUNTARY --- 15 NECESSARY APPLICATION OMSIP is a voluntary plan and you can cancel your membership at any time. The government, how- ever, can only cancel mem- berships in the case of mis- representation, misuse of services, non-payment of premiums, or 3 months after a member has ceased to be a resident of Ontario. If you fill out this appli- cation and mail it now, you will be eligible for OMSIP coverage beginning July 1st. Otherwise you will have to wait a minimum of 3 months for your coverage to begin.
