One man lost 40 per cent of such a claim ($5,000) because of not wearing seatbelts when he and his daughter were seriously injured in an accident that was not his fault. Having personal knowledge that seatbelts can save lives, prevent or reduce serious injuries, .makes one a firm believer in the use of seatbelts. A car, with' two members ottruy Holy, went out of control when they struck an `icy patch, and went into the ditch. They were wearing seatbelts. One had whip lash, the other bruised legs. Without seat belts they would at least have suffered a severe shaking about and more extensive injuries, if not worse. Use your seatbelts.

The Toronto Maple Leafs gave their fans little to cheer about this hockey season. Their performance was a dismal disappointment. Now the baseball season is here and Toronto fans have the Blue Jays to look for an exciting season — something to cheer about for a change. At the present it seems we can expect that. There is a long season ahead for them and too often the outcome of ball games can be just as unpredictable as hockey games. Buckle up those seat belts.

The ministry has recently received a flood of complaints from consumers who pur- chased low-cost disability insurance sold door-to-door, through newspaper advertise- ments or by mail throughout Ontario and Canada. These consumers later discovered that the policies offered only very limited coverage. But we can't say the policies shouldn't be sold," says Mr. Thompson. "They do provide some protection and a few people who are unemployed or in high risk jobs would not be able to buy any other accident protection." These policies don't provide coverage for disability resulting from illness, Mr. Thomp- son says. Generally, . these policies provide full pay -outs only for disability resulting from accidents of a restricted nr unusual nature, shch as a public transit mishap. In the case of private vehicle accidents, the policies pay out only a fraction of their full worth. Coverage is offered for as low as $9 for six months. The impressive -looking list of coverages trained and everyone enjoyed them. It was a great experience for the children to see a real circus. HOME LOST IN FIRE The home of Don and Marilyn McDonald on concession 16 of Grey was gutted by fire last Thnrsday morning when the furnace exploded. The Grey Twp. fire department responded, but very little was saved. They have had a trailer brought in where they plan to live till their new home is built policies may, on close inspection, include some coverages which seem archaic or are not really relevant to most residents of Ontar- io," Mr. Thompson says. Disability policies better suited to the needs of many people can be obtained through a workplace group,. or as individual policies directly from an insurance company. They offer lump sum or regular payments to claimants if they become unable to work ' because of accident or illness. Rates paid in group coverage vary depending.on the employer and the type of plan. Coverage outside a group plan varies in price according to the age and occupation of the policyholder.
