Ontario is 95 percent con. ered by medical insurance so we could reduce our premiums by nearly one-half, based on Ottawa paying 50 percent of the provincial average per capita cost/less administrative costs. The people east of Ontario are not without medical care. Not as many have insurance and bills for the others are largely paid personally. When a pro. vince takes over paying the bills under medicare it will col. lect only about half as much as it is now costing the people. Canada's national. debt rose by $4 billion to 15 1/2 billion during the past 8 yeers. Bal. ancing the budget is a desire able deterrent to spending, knowing that it means more taxes if persevered. Universal medicare was approved almost unanimously by Parliament and adding the cost for a couple of years to the permanent nae tional debt seems justified. That this was the intention is a reasonable conclusion. Ontario recently budgetted for a $252 million deficit to be added to its $3 billion gross debt due. ing 1968, Since January 1, OMSIP is accepting applications for groups. Was this in anticipae tion of transfers from profit operated groups which are taboo under Ottawa's plan, One-third of Ontario's coverage is by such insurance. That is a small percentage of the life insurance business and higher interest rates compensate for a loss. Former Premier Leslie Frost told a group of 300 Canadian Life Underwriters that ecloption Of medicare should be phased in over ten years. Premier Roberts claims we are taking care of the needy. A married couple who own their home and a car are eligible for free OIVISIP if their income does not exceed $3,000 ($1,700 for a single person), They pay only half the premium rate in a certain higher income range. Ontario bee some 400,000 old. age pensioners eligible for free OMSIP insurance,as well as over 50,000 famiies on wel. fare. , Compare the young Couple With one child and an income of $5,000. He pays income tax $326.60 plus surtax; uhettploye merit insurance $49; Canada Pension Plan $70.20 (double if he's self'-etnoloyed); payments on mortgage and a car and .daily traiispiettatiori. Now add OMSIP $171 (for 3); Hospitel Insurance $02; drugs, glasses, dentist add part of the free riders' heath insurance. Yours John Gilbert MAPLE ST.

Mr. Clarke of Auburn will but. cher, In reply to the 'lead story in the News-Record of April 4, I would like to point out that many of us do live in the sure rounding townships or villages and towns and work in Clinton, however I would like to point out that this is not necessare fly a money drain as we do most of our grocery shopping here, buy furniture and ape pliances and eat in the local restaurants. If we own our own homes and live in Hayfield, Brucefield, Holmesville or Londesboro or the surrounding townships, we are paying taxes to Central Huron Secondary School. If we rent, our landlotds are per. imps supporting the same schools. Many non-residents have looked for housing in the town and have found it hopelessly inadequate. Many of the homes for sale or rent are old and in need of major repairs, and people moving to town from cities or ' more progressive neighbourhbods have found better housing in the surround. ing areas. I personally feel that Clinton lacks good accommocla. tion for renting and as Mr, Winter says, something should ,be' done about it. I would also like to poirit out that the local contractors seem to be building homes and cote tages along the lakefront near Bayfield, which means a re. verse in the money drain. In checking with a number of people in my vicinity I find that there are several. Clinton citizens wending their way to Hensall, Ooderich and Seaforth every morning and seem to find more lucrative employment in these towns. Also 1 recently had occasion to be in Goderich on a Friday afternoon and many of the townsfolk from Clinton were doing their weekly shop- ping in that town. „, I am told the same holds true of Hen,. sail, Some folks say prices are better in these towns, if this is so perhaps our mere chants should ask the question WHY Daily Commuter FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec) Pastor: JACK HEYNEN, B.A. SUNDAY, APRIL 14th 9:45 a.m.—Sunday School. 11:00 a.m.-.-Church Service. — ALL ARE WELCOME HERE — ONTARIO STREET UNITED CHURCH "THE FRIENDLY CHURCH" Pastor: REV, GRANT MILLS, B.A. Organist: MISS LOIS GRASBY, A.R.C.T.

In fact, had it not been for the far too infre- quent interjections of commentary on the ravaging of several, United States cities, the whole thing could have been unbearably dull. Instead it was bear- ably dull. The roles of co-stars Hellyer, Mar- tin, Winters, Turner, Kierans and Mac- Eachen could easily have been inter- ' changed with no observable difference. Their, soliloquies, a babble of banality tied together with hopeless cliches, all airived, in the same dogmatic flurry.. "Today we must toil to create a Tomorrow which will reach the expecta- tions of our destiny," they all said. "To- gether we can work to form a united Canada. Forward we will go, grasping firmly and uncovering fully, the bounti- ful blessings of wealth bestowed upon this wonderful country." And on they went, uttering, mut- tering and spluttering statements as de- visive and indecisive as evasive. J. J. Greene managed to capture the audience in one act With a fine dis- play of warm humor and outright ora- torical talent.• In fact he Wins the Oscar as "best orator among nine men read- ing the same script." P. E. Trudeau could have been runner-up for the award if for no reason other than he talked instead, of shouted. But this.speech was somewhat different and he couldn't qualify. He deviated by spending half his allotted time telling the delegates how good it was of them to come—rather like 'a slightly embar- rassed host at his own birthday party. It is unfortunate the men who aspired to the leadership of this country could find nothing new, different, or, exciting to say. It is unfortunate they chose to speak in generalities, leaving the millions of viewers wondering how they were going to achieve the marvels of their policies. Perhaps it is' because the Conser- vative convention Was so close 'that the • same old phrases seemed to keep popping up. Perhaps by The time the next con- • "What's the matter with these kids today?" dozens of men and wo- men mutter every night as they aim- lessly lounch about the house occasion- ally eating and intermittently viewing a TV documentary on free love and plentiful pot in Yorkville. . The answer to their rhetorical question has a lot to do with too many parents wasting away theirlives, even- ing after evening, rarely attempting to improve the situations which they con- tentedly criticize. When the parents in this town can't even keep a Brownie or Girl Guide organization going on a ,regular basis it does not take, much insight to figure out where to lay the blame. Two years ago Mrs. George Wonch resigned from the Brownies. She felt, having worked with the organ- ization for 10 years, it Was time some- One else took up the reins and did their share of the works No one was interest- ed in doing their share. The girls organ- izations fell apart and have been' in- vention arrives all the cliches will be forgotten. Rather' like seeing a mediocre movie on television years after viewing it in the theatre—something sounds the same• but it is still hard to figure out where the plot will lead. operative for the past two years. Now the Brownies are ready to start up again—and who is the'leader Mrs. Wonch of course. And she has had to work.`hard just to find three women who will assist her. For no reason other than the total apathy of Clinton mothers, the Guides are still defunct. Not one of hundreds of Clinton mothers is willing to stray from her secure comfortable living room once a week to give leadership to teenage girls. Unless the' Cubs get some volun- teer aid they too will be throttled 'by apathy. Their two leaders, both 10 year men,.are submitting their resigna- tions. Their reasons sound familiar—it • is about time someone else did some of the work. So should Clinton's neglected young men follow the path of hundreds of wayward wanton youths—to York- ville—and the young ladies the same path—to immorality—only one 'signifi., cant question need be asked, "Who is irresponsible?" .News,,APPPrc),.
