New dishes have been purchased by the U.C.W. and it was moved that add saucers Reform inevitable • from page 1 ror," because "private enterprise can run things •a lot better than the government." Theedom said taking auto liability away from private companies would reduce their activity and have a detrimental im- pact on the entire economy. "'Phe loss is in the investrnent that coin- panies make in real estate, bonds,school bonds, municipal bonds and eventually a loss of taxation because a lot of companies, especially in B.C., have pulled out," he. said. As far as total no-fault is concerned, while it would cut down greatly on legal ex- penses, "it still takes away some of your rights," namely the right to sue, said Mulhern. Hopefully, they don't go so far as to say that if if I'm in a wheel chair and can't work for the rest of my life; that I can't get 'some kind of settlement," through the courts, said John Banter, of Banter and MacEwan Insurance Brokers, another Goderich firm. MODIFIED SYSTEM "We rather hope that if they are going to do anything, it would be in the direction of a modified no-fault system," said Theedom. Theedom was referring tethe so-called "smart no-fault" insurance system being advocated by the Insurance Bureau of Canada in a national television advertising campaign. However, he admits, even that type of system could not be 4mplimented without government involvement. "Even 'smart no-fault' is going to have to be legislated by the government," he said. InSurance claims are designed to com- pensate victims for two types of losses, economic (lost wages, damage to vehicles, etc.) and. non -economic (pain and suffer- ing, bereavement, etc.). Modified no-fault coverage would allow economic claims to be "settled speedily and on what they con- sider to be a fair basis," while victims wouldretain the right to sue for compensa- tion for non -economic, thus more discre- tionary, elafnis, said Theedotn. While he said it is too soon to offer specific figures and formulas for deter- mining premitUns under a no-fault or *Modified no-fault system, Theedom did say they would result in a general reduc- tion of rates for all types of drivers. "It is a concept and I don't think anyone in the insurance business would be prepared to say, 'we've got the rates work- ed out and:everything set to,go,"' he said. "We're going to have to take the present be donated to the hall. ' Following grace, lunch was provided by Marie McGavin, Doreen Hackwell and Edith Wey. CHURCH NEWS The Palm Passion. Sunday service at Duff's United Church was in the charge of Rev. Bonnie Lamble, who conducted the Junior Choir. The: choir was accompanied by Marion Godkin at the piano. Paul and Dianne McCallum were greeters. Mark Anarew, infant son of Keith and Gloria Wilbee, was baptized. Graeme Craig assisted with the lighting of .the candles. Gloria sang a very timely solo, "Because He Lives" accompanied by Elva Wilbee at the piano. Notice the change of date for the clothing donations for the spring bale. The last day is April 26. Junior choir practice is on April 16 situation that we have and relate that to potential costs of no-fault payments and take an educated guess as to what would happen on the compensation packages," he added. However, even under any form of no- fault insurance, driver premiums would still vary somewhat, based on the type of driver involved. "There would have to be determining factors," Theedom explained. Criterion would also have to be developed to determine when a victim's losses go beyond the scope of basic no-fault coverage, and allow for litigation. Where that line is drawn, will have an important effect on how fair a new system would be in special cases. SPECIAL SITUATIONS "That's where it (no-fault) becomes ine- quitable, in special situations. I mean a person could have an impairment for life and it might not be considered a serious in- jury," cautioned Mulhern. Also yet to be "fine-tuned," said ' Theedom, is the policy for determining premiums for drivers frequently involved in accidents. Most likely an individual ac- cident, involving strictly economic losses, would have no immediate effect on the • premiurns of the drivers involved. Premiums would only be raised if it was found rates for the entire category a driver is placed in were insufficient to cover losses. However, when a driver is charged with an offence such as impaired driving or dangerous driving as a result of the inci- dent, that driver might find himself moved to a different category, resulting in • a higher premium. In addition to changing to a, form of no- fault, Theedom believes a change in the Farrtily Law Reform Ad, which now allows members of a person's extended family (grandparents,, etc.) to Site for. losses, would also improve the insurance situation. "As a first move, we need to change the Family Law Reform Act (a process Theedom believes is at least two years away), then bring in modified no-fault: 1 think that would be more or less our answer to the whOle thing," Theedom said. While the maintaining the present system, improved by "tortreform," would be the insurance industries first choice, Theedom believes a switch to modified no- fault is the most "socially acceptable" op- tion and the one most likely to be im= plimented in the near future.

During medieval times, a hospice was a way Station where travelers.could "rest and relax before continuing on their journey.
