If, howe'ver', an investigation reveals that the errors and omissions are the resuit of manipulation by a person or persons, the guilty party or parties should, as Mr. Doiley suggested, be censured.

Personality Everybody agrees our dollar doesn't go very far anymore. It seems that many companies, perhaps out of, necessity, spend more lime raising prices and trfiliming costs, while on the other hand, they nîay forget about the basic services they should be providing their customers. Where has the close con- tact and friendliness in busi- ness gone? Has the human element been overlooked. I- Tourney wonder, do people really care? 1 went over these questions when 1 was asked to repesent Ontario Blue Cross on radio and TV. At that tirne, 1 was invited to take a tour of the Ontario Blue Cross hiead off ice, on 1 50 Ferrand Diive in Don Milîs, Ontario. I inspecced the, impressive facilities. I met the staff. 1 asked ques- tions, too. And, 1 was pleasantly sur- prised. Not just one but three receptionists were on hand 10 greet me. They are there s uccess due ito the work Of many people Dear Sir; The success of the 'Second Annual' Iroquois Tournament, this year co-sponsored by B/W.M.H.A. and Opti- mists International, was due to the work ofa large number of people - far too miany to list individually. Special tharîks should go, how- ever, toMr. Iioug Weales, the B/W.MJ-.A's Ladies Aux. & especially to the people who allowed their hôines to be used as billets. On behaîf of the tour- nament committee; I would like to extend a heart -feit thanks to all' who helped. Steve Porter, Publieity Direetor, B/W.M.H.A. to answer telephone enquiries, personal questions, ,and to generally help people witit their prnblemns. They certain- ly nmade me feel at home. ln faci1, everyone at Ontario Blue Cross goes out of their way lu mnake customiers feel niore comîforlable. During the recent mail strikes, Ontario Bloe Cross inoved a whole departmien t into the main foyer 10 process custoier dlaims and issue cheques 10 their subscribers. They have a genuine concern about the well.being of others. 1 fouInd out, 100, that Ontario Blue Cross lias been established for over thirty-four years, and that their reputa- lion is but on service 10 people. That's what they do best. Ever since lVve known the people at Ontario Blue Cross, they keep corning up with more and more impor- tant health care plans. At reasonable cost, too. About eight million Ontario residents have government insurance through OHIP. Ontario Blue Cross provides. health care benefits to over five million participants in Ontario. This coverage goes beyond the meaning of "&Protection" to provide sub- scribers with specific services that may be needed. Through pay-direct and/or cornpany gr,,-..ps, plans like "Plan for Se::1.ý-Private Hospital Accore- odation", "Extended Health Care Plan", "Prescription Drug PhIan", "Health Plan While Outside Canada". "Student Healthý Plan.. "Health Plan for Visitors 10 Canada", "Plan for' Dental Care". and a recently intro- duced "Plan for Vision Care" are available te subscribers. 1 realize how important ny Ontario Blue Cross coverage is for nîyself and nîy family Mien I'm buying prescriptions drug, or Mien I'm out-of- Canada..for a log of things. One thing 1 didn'l know before..did you know that Ontario Blue Cross is able to turn back about ninety cents out of every dollar in the formi of subscriber benefits? And alternatively, in this age of inflation where the operating expenses of many companies cati run out of control, Ontario Blue Cross is holding its own at an oper- ating expense of only ten cents on -the dollar. Their non-profit status has helped give a great amounit of people a good relurn for their rnoney. .One thing more, the next lime you hear nie on radio, listen to what 1 have 10 say, tlien listen closely to the theme...people who -care are people at Blue Cross." We iîeed something to believe in these days. If more people started caring for others, this world would be a happier, heaithier place..the way 1 see iuanyway!
