Dear Sir, Anyone who purchases a fur coat or a coat with fur trim must accept some responsibility for causing unnecessary suffering to the animals whose pelt he or she is wearing. In Canada millions of animals die in agony because of the demand for fur, Fur bearing animals in other countries suffer ' a similar fate. For example in a small country such as Thailand the otter has now almost disappeared because of trappers' activities. It takes the skins of no less than 40 otters to make one fur coat. These superb, attractive animals have been sacrificed in the tens of thousands simply to meet the demand of people in countries such as Canada for fur coats. I hope everyone who feels the need to wear fur will, before purchasing a coat, first demand proof that the fur of the coat is either synthetic or, at the very worst, the fur is obtained from ranch animals. Yours sincerely, T. I. Hughes Executive Vice-President Ontario Humane Society Nothing is difficult when you put your heart into it. Be sure to give the dispatcher your telephone number, so she can, contact you. Remember people calling for emergency service can be excited and it is easy to give a wrong direction without realizing it. Whoever is your emergency ambulance service should be written0own or marked in your telephone book to avoid delay and this will assist you in an emergency. All messages, such as base name, car number, code 1, 2, 3, 4 and ETA (Estimated time of arrival at hospital), are radioed from base to base from northern areas through bases that can talk directly to London Control. If it is a Code 4 - which means it is an emergency, then the Ambulance when it is within radio range is connected to the emergency in whichever Hospital the patient is going and can talk directly to the doctor in emergency. This is arranged through your control station. London control, then relays all times back up to which ever base the ambulance is coming from and all these times are filled in on forms sent by the dispatcher to the Ministry semi-monthly. Ambulance bases do not bill patients, the basic fee which is $5.00 gives 25 miles free from point of pick-up to destination, all miles over 25 cost the patient 15 cents per mile and are billed by the receiving hospital. If a hospital sends patient to residence that is also billed by hoSpital. If the patient has OHIP no bill can exceed $25.00 no matter the distance within Ontario. But if no hospital is involved, example a patient picked up at an airport and returned to residence then the ambulance base bills that patient direct at above rate. It is a mistaken idea that every time an ambulance is called it is costing the taxpayers more money through OHIP, - based services are budgeted yearly for the giving of 24 hours service, not for the number of callS.
