BOtsgetA POST; MA'Y 29i 1914
Most of us get sick or have an accident
at one time or another. And left to our
own resources, serious illness could
often cripple us financially.
So the government here in Ontario
has developed a plan to provide health
care for everybody, any time it's needed.
That plan is called Ontario Health
Insurance Plan — OHIP.,(The "H"
stands for "Health, " not "Hospital.") The
Plan is administered by your Ontario
government for us, the people of the
province, who pay into it regularly so we
can benefit when we need it.
How does the Ontario Health
Insurance Plan work? Like this:
First, you apply for coverage —on a
"Group" basis where you work, or you
can pick up an application form at any
bank, hospital, or OHIP district office.
Next, you'll pay Modest premiums to
30.90 cents. He said the price had
started at 20.90 cents last
September' 1973 and had.
undergone two increases. Mr.
Geoffrey said rt .riew contract will .
be negotiated in August for fuel
oil for next school term,
Mr. Geoffrey reported on.

St. Aloysius and St. Ambrose
Schools in Stratford, St, Patrick's
School, Kinkora; St.' Boniface
School, Zurich and Our Lady of
Mount Carmel, R.R,3,
Dash wood.
Mr, .Looby saidhe`would like to
see one teacher in each school
trained in .First Aid. This is to be
discussed at the next board
meeting.
David Teahen, Stratford,
expresSed his dissatisfaction with
"injustice in reporting, in the
wording in board meeting reports
in the London Free Press and in
the Beacon-Herald of Stratford".
Mr. Teahen said he was
satisfied that it was not the local
cover yourself and your family towards
the time when health care is needed.
People on welfare, students, and
others whose incomes fall below a
certain level, are eligible for assistance
in paying their OHIP premiums. No one
is excluded for lack of money, but you
must apply for such premium assistance.
Benefits include: physicians' services
• standard ward hospital accommoda-
tion • X-rays • laboratory tests • drugs
required in hospital • operating and
delivery rooms • radiotherapy •
chiropractic, osteopathic, and chiropo-
dist services • eye examinations •
occupational therapy • physiotherapy
• speech therapy • nursing and medical
care in nursing homes and homes for
the aged • Home Care service •
ambulance • certairidental surgery.
Payments may cover costs entirely or
only in part, depending on the nature of
the claim.
But remember: Membership in the
Ontario Health Insurance Plan is not
automatic—you have to apply for it.
And be sure to carry your identification
card or OHIP number at all times.
If you would like more information,
visit any OHIP district office. Or write to:

In other business a request
from Mrs. Diane DeWinter,
secretary of the newly formed
Goderich Canadian Parent
Teacher Association that the
board's minutes be more
available than they are at the
present time, was discussed.

what Mrs. DeWinter meant by

through the press. He asked if the
minutes were mailed and was

attend the next C.P.T.A. meeting
in Goderich and would find out
