Rural Residents Entitled to Equal
Free Months Hospitalization
Residents of rural Ontario who
have registered for Ontario Hos-

Medical Co-operatives are entitled
to, and will receive, the two

Small Youngster
is Smothered In
Farm Straw Mow
Two-year-old Brian Alderdice,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Ald-
erdice, Tuckersmith Township, was
found smothered under a pile of
straw in the hay loft of his fath-
er's barn last Tuesday afternoon.
The little boy went to the barn
at 10.30 in the morning with his
father, brother and sister. He went
to the hay loft to play while the
three others stayed in the stable
on the ground floor.
When the father and two child-
ren went in for dinner at noon,
the little boy could not be found.
Mrs. Alderdice joined her husband
in a search of the barn and found
the child face down under a pile
of straw.
Buried in Collapse
Police believe the child was
playing under an over -hanging led-
ge of straw when it gave way and
buried him.
The little fellow had been in
the loft more than two hours.
Ontario Provincial Police Con-
stable Cecil Gibbons, of Exeter,
and Dr. J. C. Goddard, coroner,
Hensall, investigated.
Survivors are his parents, bro-
ther, Garry, and sister, Lynn.
The body rested at the family
residence, concession 12, Tucker -
smith Township, where service was
held Thursday at 2 p.m., with
interment in Egmondville Ceme-
tery.

a statement made by Paul E.
Meehan, Regional Manager, Rural
Enrolment of the Ontario Hospital
Services Commission.
"The fact that some of the Medi-
cal Co-operatives have billed their
members for several months' pre-
miums i n advance has caused
some misunderstanding on the

part of a number of rural resi-
dents", stated Mr. Meehan, "but
regardless of the period for which
the members are billed initially,
the two months' free coverage is
being added, thus establishing the
required prepaid period."
"The provisions of Ontario Hos-
pital Insurance, he went on, are
the same for all residents, and the
fact that a person is registered
through a medical co-operative
does not in any way change his
eligibility for the two bonus
months' insurance, which the Com-
mission made available for early
registration."
More than 5,300,000 residents of
the province are registered, repre-
senting over 90 percent of the
population, and it is anticipated
that before the plan begins to op-
erate this percentage may even
be higher.
