Batt'n Around — Continued from Page 4 secured first reading for his unemployment insurance measure, the first of his social 'reform' enactments". Readers will find it "shocking" to note that benefits to be paid tinder the scheme were $6,00 per week to men of 21 years of age and upward and $5.10 per week for women. The unemployed head of a family with five children was paid $10.50 per week. The employee and employer paid 25 cents per week as their contribution. Another interesting story featured on the front page is headlined "Municipalities en- sured ownership of Hydro" and the story related the fact that ownership of Ontario's $400,000,000 Hydro venture is to be placed indisputably with the Hydro municipalities when they assumed a $184,000,000 debt which had been incurred by the government. Another story explained that insurance company officials wanted farmers to be penalized for threshing in barns, because of the high incidence of fires caused by such practices. And, did you know how they saved horses from drowning when they fell through the ice of Lake Erie while transporting materials across the ice? It was easy! Usually the.; rescue of the floundering horses was ac- complished by tightening the halters until the strangling animals bloated. Then they would float high on the water and could be drawn on to firm ice and the halters loosened. This, of course, was practical knowledge in earlier times when companies shipped large loads of their products from Canada to the U.S.A. by using teams of horses on the ice of LakeErie. The market quotations of the day were as follows: butter, 24 cent lb.; A-large eggs, 26 cents dozen; steers, $3.50 for common to $5.75 for choice; hogs, $8.90.

AL'S MARKET HENSALL — ONTARIO I III1 TITTITTIFill ;1 11111111 111111111111 CONSUMER Buy-UNE. Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund is NOT insurance Last week my buddy went to renew his automobile licence and was told he would have to pay $40 in addition to the licence fee if he couldn't prove he had $50,000 automobile liability insurance. Why does he have to pay this extra $40? This $40 is a mandatory payment required by The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act, to be paid by an uninsured motorist or driver. Ontario law requires the motorist to have a:tinnimirii 61:.$50,000 liability iriAt earibe Motor Vehicle 'ACCM'en't Claims 'Fund -fe'e'hdrore being issued a vehicle licence. If a motorist fails to 'providefor insurance himself he has to pay $40 into the Fund to ensure that innocent victims involved in any accident he may be responsible for, are provided with up to $50,000 in damages from the Fund, depending on the decision of the Court. The innocent victim is therefore protected to this extent by law against the uninsured motorist. Not insurance How much insurance coverage does this $40 fee give? This fee does not, in any way, provide the motorist with any kind of insurance coverage. By choosing not to carry even a minimum amount of automobile liability insurance. the motorist has stacked incredible odds against himself. Even though a motorist has paid his $40 for the privilege of drking his motor vehicle on the roads, he is still not pro- tected. Because of this. he is liable for the full amount of the judgment if found responsible for causing an accident. Such judgments can be disastrous. For example. Court awards are often based on the future earning potential of the victim. Payments to the family of a 25-year-old. $15,000-a-year man can add up to a crippling lifetime debt against the uninsured motorist. Being an owner and/or an operator of an uninsured motor vehicle, what is his position if he is involved in a motor vehicle accident? If an uninsured motorist has caused or contributed to an accident one of two things can happen: ( I) A claim may he made by the innocent victim directly to The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund for payment of damages. If this occurs, the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations will advise the uninsured motorist by registered mail (his last recorded address) as to what steps he might take to protect his interests. (2) If a judgment or a claim is paid from the Fund, on the motorist's behalf, the owner's and driver's licences will be suspended until the full amount has been paid or instal- ment payments have commenced. At the same time, he must file a certificate of insurance to prevent the Fund being called upon to pay a second time. One notice How does he know that a claim has been made against him? As soon as a claim is received by the Director of Claims, the uninsured motorist and/or driver is advised by regis- tered mail at the last address with the Ministry of Trans- portation and Communications. There will be only one notice. It is Most ithportarit for the motorist to realize that by not proViding . himself with adequate liability insurance and using the .Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund, he can find himself paying for one accident for the rest of his life.
