Mr. Davis was grilled :on issues in South - Western Ontario by a panel of journalists and broadcasters from the region. • The panel was made up of John Strong, senior news editor for CKNX; Robert Hull, editor of the Owen Sound Sun -Times; Bill Kennedy, editor of the Durham Chronicle; Ted McCannell, Grey - Bruce bureau chief for the K -W Record and Alex Walton, CKNX's news director. The major items on the minds of the five man panel were trans- portation, growth, re -structuring and gas prices. Mr. Walton asked the premier what the chances were that the province might prove transportation in the area. by setting up facilities for STOP (short takeoff and landing) air- craft. Mr. Davis replied that thee. problem with initiating such - a plan is, that sueh operations would be ' within the federal government's purview rather than the province's. Therefore, it-' must be a federal initiative that establishes the plan. However, he said his government has gone into the airline business in a small way with the founding of a Twin Otter service to -Northern Ontario but he commented that while there is potential in that service the likelihood of es- tablishing air transit facilities in South -Western Ontario is slimy, Mr. Hull then asked if train se ` vice could be improved to the Your famiIyk health: is your mos important pouession. This is what Ontario is doing to hIp you-pitect it. 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 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 • certain dental surgery. Payments may cover costs entirely or only in part, depending on the nature of the claim. But remember: Membership in the Ontario Health Insufance 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: OHIP Ontario 20 Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M4H 1 A9 Ministry of Health Frank S. Miller, Minister Government of Ontario William G. Davis, Premier area as it has in other parts of province. The premier answered that while the province had tried to establish a provincial service between North Bay and Moosonee that competition with the existing services of CN and CP would be hard to explain in economic terms. 'Mr. Strong` expressed the area's alarm at seeing millions of dollars. being poured from the provincial: - treasury into Tor- onto's rapid transit system when all this area wants is some decent form of. service, 'He then queried Ontario's first minister about the establishment of a transit service similar to. the Go Transit system. The provincial head discounted any sort of GO system in the re- gion because, in his view, the\ in- tensity of use would not warranti such a ser I th the change Its way voluntarily. Mr. McCannell wondered if the Hwy. 400 had not been of as- sistance to increased develop- ment in the Barrie area. Premier Davis candidly replied that the growth patterns in that area had been dictated -by the area's • proximity to a large market.. The questioning- then moved on to growth in this region as Mr. Strong commented that some people here are becoming resign- ed to the idea that this part of the province has been designated a `;slow growth" area. Mr. Davis seemed rather annoyed with that view and remarked that govern- ment policy.does not dictate slow growth but a different- type of growth based on quality and compatability. Mr. Hull asked what the vce.. n e part of the province that the service. oper- b,more ,.viable because ocoin mugs using it. He sugges that improved bus service coul be the answer here: The. ,K -W Record's representa tive, Mr. McCannell, moved to the question of better highways in South -Western Ontario and asked if the construction of a good four lane route - would not promote development. Mr. Davis rejoined that highways have traditionally followed rather than preceeded develdpment. He added that cer- tainly if the province thought it could direct development in such a way it would. However, the pre- mier said industry does not .`dare'' thousands. f ted t government's view s onre- structuring dn' Grey -Bruce -were. •ti'amier2DelvisutoldeatrAhdLhe) r undettnad3Ithefr.oppdsifioiti to county re -structuring but said the province'sgreatest concern is 'in the area of planning. He con- tinued, saying that if the county assumes planning a co-ordinated effort could be made. Mr. Davis interjected that planning in this area is far better than in most jurisdictions. Premier Davis was queried about the formation of Health Councils in the future which would oversee capital' cost ex- penditures for health facilities. Mr. Strong, who asked the ques- ion, mirrored a great number of people's feeling that this would New land purchase p�lky announced (Continued from page!) In an attempt to further -define the impact of lines on agricul- ture, Hydro is conducting an in- depth study at , the Ridgetown College of Agriculture, Ridge - town, Ontario. Mr. McMurtrie pointed out that unlike a highway or a new hous- ing subdivision, a right of way carrying transmission lines is not entirely incompatible with the production of food. "Crops ranging from corn to tobacco are flourishing beneath transmission lines across On- tario's breadbasket. Only the land actually covered by the sup- porting towers, plusaa small area to allow for the manoeuvering of machinery is made unavailable for farming." OFA COMMENTS "Ontario Hydro's revamped policy for buying farmland in- cludes some key improvements, but still falls far short of treating farmers fairly," contends Frank Wall, vice-president of the On- tario Federation of Agriculture. "It is time Hydro updated its land -buying policy," according to Mr. Wall. "Farmers have been victims of the bullies hired by Hydro as land buyers, as well as the company's strict and outdated Compensation policy. If these changes announc- ed yesterday by the top brass get carried out in the fields, farmers ficial will indeed benefit," the OFA of - added. The Federation welcomes three main changes: Hydro now Pledges to give each farmer the option of either selling his prop- erty: or granting an easement. The farmers will also be given the choice of taking a lump sum for the right-of-way or a series of annual payments, Hydro's lease back plan will continue. Under this, a farmer can work the right- of-way for $1 a year plus taxes. According to Wall, the new pol- icy has two major' pitfalls. It does not spell out that Hydro will opt to buy an entire farm, if trans- mission lines consume a lot of land, rendering the farm un- viable. He was also critical of Hy- dro's compensation rates. The Federation wants Hydro to pay 100 per cent of the land's market value when it buys land or takes an easement for a right-of-way. Hydro will now pay 75 per cent of market -value. , UNION VIEWPOINT Blake Sanford, National Farm- ers' Union, Ontario Coordinator, believes the announcement' will be received by Ontario farmers with cautious optimism. "On the surface, according tb press reports, the new approach sounds like an improvement and we will look forward to a more detailed description from Ontario Hydro." Mr. Sanford said there will cer- tainly be an opportunity given to "test" Hydro's new attitude in the near future, when some un- settled claims of NFU members are' negotiated. Efforts of NFU members in the past have included farmers forming picket lines to halt con- struction of power lines in are at- tempt to gain a fair deal for priv- ileges they had to surrender in the interest of the general society. The NFU believes strongly that more emphasis must be placed on proper land use planning in future construction of all public utilities, mean the end of local health governing boards. He was told that people,alWays, express fears until action is taken and then they learn to accept it. Mr. Davis,Was of the opinion that the govern. ment is trying to improve: health. services and suggested that the establishment of sueh overseeing bodies would consolidate special services which would be costly if duplicated. He 'stressed.' that his' government is not out to bury local autonomy. Sun -Times Editor Hull, stated that people are confused by the increases' in gas prices and the general feeling is that Premiers Blakney and Lougheed of Saskatchewan .and Alberta put one over on the rest of Canada at the recent first ministers' con- ference.

The pre- mier informed the questioners that the province does not make any more money out of gasoline taxes than it did before the price ' increases. However, the federal treasury does.

A rcnow4 Itid research institute has found a nique healing substance with thc ability to shrink hemor- • rhoids 'painlessly. It relieves itching and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing of thc injured, inflamed tissue. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place. Most important ,of all -results were so thorough that this improve- ment was maintained over a period of many months. All this was accomplished with a healing substance (Bio -Dyne) which quickly helps hcal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue. Now Bio -Dyne is offered ,in oint- ment and suppository fora called Preparation H. Ask for it at all drug stores. Satisfaction or your money refunded. Need Money?
