Fairfield Fann Forum The Fairfield Farm Forum meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Powe, Exeter, de­ cided that a compulsory plan would be at a cheaper rate as everyone would be paying a share and it would give greater bene­ fits.

The disadvantage of the government plan would be that the cost would be too high and the advantages—that it would in­ clude everyone and would pay the entire cost of illness. This forum thought that $30 per family per year for each:- hospitalization, surgical and me­ dical, would be a reasonable pay­ ment. $100 per family per year should cover complete coverage and dental services. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Blake Horner with Mr. Harold Horner leading the discussion on “Trade and Tariffs”.

They had failed to read the fine print. A national health ■those.

If all residents in the province were covered the forum members thought $2'5 per year for hospi­ talization, $15 for surgical $35 for medical with complete cover­ age including dental service would be a fair estimate.
