What will they have accompiished iù their present terme? From the reports ii yaur paper about the-public meetings ofconil0newndr-hwtings et and given hlm aà proper outIinfle ofhie authôrity? Don't we &Il agree, that this town dona need à #ood administrative head, who perhapta hôuld know more about how to run à town, than aur eleeded represenitatives? flon't we ail agréé, that wë nèed a couneil which will make sulre, thêt campetènt peop le are being coxsultèd beforé subdivl ders put in sewers, water and new roads md that campetent peo- pie are ini controi of the work belnig doné, sô that we don't have to argue about too smali sewers being Installed afterwards, or ronds being put out ci commission, as Waverly road naw has been for weeks, or was the major ex- penditurp an Waverly Rond planned i advance? hs this road now being overhauled ln accordance with the planning for Nô. 2 Highway? We need a better council, than one which appointed a cornrittee to 'study' West Beach prablems, and produces littie more than sending the dog catcher down, or the same counicil which 'stu- died' Scugog Road, and sending a man down wit h a sickie ta cut the weeds. If this council needs committee.q of its own, to tell the works department heads what regular duties ta perform, we the people are in trouble, and we better consider carefully whether or not we do need anyone of the present ad- mninistration, especially now that they are asking us ta elect them- for a terrm of three years. The argument put forward by some cauncillors, that they need three years ta study and implement what they study, sounds a bit haiiow. With a good administrator, with committees who keep proper records and use expert advice, well document- ed, nothing much will be lost if a prob- lem bas been studied and the councillors change, it might be goal ta have some- one else have a laok at the problems too, before embarking, upon solutions. We don't need persans on council who are experts when it cames ta dog catching, garbage collection, and grass cutting, neither do they actually need to know how ta police us or how ta plan for the future. Ail we need is some fellows with enough sense ta agree on hiring cap- able persans to do ail these things for US. Certainly we need pêrsans with R healthy interest in the welfare of this town, but, almost any combination of citizens could have governed this town as the present cauncil and its predeces- ors have done. argue among themselves rather than argue for progress. Only thing they really worry about, seems ta be the chance that Bowman- ville starts grawîng tao fast, roads are pianned on a piecemeal basis, ail ap- proaches into town are haphazard, and hazardous, where on No. 2 Highway do you f ind another tawn this size, or any size with such a lamentable highway entrance as we have at the west end? Where Is the pile of money spent on Church Street going ta benefit us? Just some free parking between stop signs? Or is there a plan ta niake King and Church one-way streets, if so Is this planned in canjunction wiýh the new No. 2 bridge? Well the dog catcher bas been on the West Beach, the grass cutter on Scugog Street, and somneday Waverly will be open for traffic agaîn, some stranger will have rolled into tawn up- side down, alive with some.luck, and we will eiect a new counicil ta argue what ta cal aur administrator. Or is it tirne for taking things seriously? Yours very truly, éboWrn t~t~ni Durham County' Gresat Family Journal Established 115 years aqa in 1854 Also lncorporatinq The.

"A number" of other Canadian embassies abraad will have ta be closed, the Prime Minister repeated. They would be those "of very littie Importance ta Canada". perhaps opened for prestige purposes in the palmier days of this caun- try's manoeuverIngs on the world stage.

The new averall size of the Cabinet - 31 ministers - Is net a matter af concern ta Mr. Trudeau, Britain, ha not.ed, bas Snl ministars, and the Canadian Cabinet was able ta work ëfficlently by breaklng down Its collective duties and âssigning them ta commit- tees of 8, 10 or 12 Ministers et a time. More Ministers might be appointed In future as the need arase. Mr. Trudeau said! he was pleased that the Conserva- tives and New flemocrats were holding palicy confer- ences ta mold future courses cf action. The Liberals are holding ana as well. "It's a good thlng," ho suggested with a wisp af a smile, "for them ta construct alternative appronches - I lhought ln the past lhey were a bit negative. and lean on constructive alterna- tives. I hope they came forward with something con- crete". Just how concrete those approaches wlll ha can be judged when the parlia- mantary session gats under way.

Or that he's we, quiet in the bush as a tank on a hot lin roof. No. There's nothing wrong with hini. It's the gods, or his gun jammed, or sheer had luck. Quite a few of the chaps on aur staff who are keen hunters urge me ta join them. This means standing around in a swamp aind chest-high boots after walking an hour ta get there. gazing sullenly for hours at a sullen sky filled with blackbirds and swallows and non- existent ducks. I've been able ta fight off the temp- tation for several years now. I used ta be a fair shot. There's many a tree, fence-post and tin can in the country that can testify ta that, and I used ta enjoy hunting. It really was pleasant ta get away from the aid batîleaxe for a few hours on a -lovely, autunin day. But I've neyer been a fanatic. Any tendency I had toward becoming ane was cured farever last lime I went deer hunting. I gaI Iost twice, was almost shot once (he hit the hound instead of me), and was dam' nearly drowned on the way home from a remote island, in a blizzard, à high wind, and a leaky boat. Hunting is for the birds, literally. L1 rI ~%.CI IU OHSIP PREMIUMS A common criticismn of the Ontario Heaith Services Insurance plan is Ihat Ontario citizens are being forced ta accept a health scheme under which they are receiving reduced henefits at increased cost. Certainly there is a dégree of truth in that statement as many union con- tracts formerly provided 100 per cent coverage for the employees paid for by the employer. This coverage is naw limiled ta 90 per cent of the current Ontario Médical Association fées sched- ule, and neither the employer nor the employee is permitted ta carry insur- ance for the extra 10 per cent. On the other hand a very large number of the 7,261,525 citizens covered under OHSIP will pay less and receive increased benef ils. 1A camparison of the présent caver- aga under OHSIP with that offered by other provinces shows the Ontario cov- erage ta be as good and in sanie cases baller +han that provided in other Canadian provinces. In evalualing the percentage coverage, consideration must be given la the fée schedule in use. The following provincial comparison illus- traIes thîs important point: i. Ontario - 90% of current fee sched- ule now in farce. 2. B.C. - 90% of cur-enl fée sehedule presentlyr in force. 3. Saska tchewan - 85/,,ao the 1968 fe schedule presently in farce - deter-ent fee in use ranging f rom $1.50 per office visit ta $2.00 for each home or hospilal 'visit. 4. Alberta - 100% Ivof 1968 fee schedule - not on 1969 fee schedule which has been increased by appraximately 8%,*. 5. Manitoba - 85%/ of the 1967 fée schedule now in force which has been increased over the 1966 schedule by approxîmataly 15 - 20%ý;. 6. Nova Scotia --85<ýî af the 1967 fée scheduie presently in farce - révision due in 1970. 7. Newfoundland - 90%/ of 1967 Ont- aria fée schedule presently in force. The following facts are also important in considering the variaus aspects of the Medicare pragramn administered in Ont- aria through OHSIP. 1. For the province ta remain out o! Federal scheme would have meant a loss of some $176,000,000. in Fed- eral granîs. As Ontario taxpayers contribute over $200,000,000. ta the Féedéral Medicare program through the social security of 2% any decis- ion ta opt out would be hard to justify. The province was, Iherefore, farced ta enter the Fédéral scheme, but was able ta oblain some concessions with respect ta private insurers and co-operatives. 2. The Ontario taxpayers contribule approximately 50%7 of the national revenue of Canada, thus assistlng the havve not provinces in meeting Iheir Medicare cosîs. 3. lIn a News Release on September 26th the Hocnmxbl» Joa nMunro, t. h 'b q . C~ andSpice y Bill SmiIey1 In proportion ta numbers%, there Ère more hunters kiiled, waunded, ôr dis- &bled for life framn heatrt àttack,% and aribritiâ, than birds. Atiothêr thing that puts me off iâ the type of people who hunt. Thère la a large percentagé of high-grade mor- ans among them. I've just rend in the Wiarton Echo à story about two "hunters" who ghot and killed twa wild, white swan that hâd made their home near a beach tes- art and were n delight to cottager. What 1i, there ta say about "hunterg" who shoot swans? A couple of years ago, two chapm 1 know went out ta the local golf cours& and shot every black squirrel in sight. This takes a lot of nerve, stamina, and bush-lore; walking around a golf course, slaughtering haif-tame squirrels, with three ounces of ment each on them. Then there are the "hunters" who go off for a good drunk in the bush. It gives themn a chance ta play poker, grow a beard, curse, belch and do ail sorts of manly things like that. They could do the same lhing by' checklng into a motel room for a week. But they en.ioy wearing big boots and routgh clothes and making rude noises. Then they corne home and let their wives push them around like puppets for the other fifty- one weeks. The finest huniers are those who love nature. They respect and admire and are curiaus about their prey. They shoot only when lhey know what they're shooting at, try ta kill cleanly and follaw the wounded deer or retrieve the wounded bird at any cast. I've no quarrel with them. But I think most of them would be just as happy with an unloaded gun or a camnera. There's no real appenl in hunting for nme any more, though I love to get out in the bush, preferably alone. But if they ever deciare an open season on school administrators, l be right back there, gun on shoulder, keen of eye and hard of jaw, tireless in the chase, and relentless in the MIL.1 wouldn't even mmnd taking part i wip- ing out the entire species, though I'm against this sort of thing, normally. .111 IFI IVil.1 . l1 the Federal Minister of Health,.>, firmly statedt that any provinca which permitted insurance ta pay for physicians' charges over and above those paid by the provincial yrlan (90e) would be disqualified rom Federal sharing under the Federai Medical Act. The reason given by Mr. Munro for this decision was that those able te pay for the extra coverage would have an advantage over those who could nlot afford ta buy such caver- age, thus creating a double level of benefit protection. 4. If the province assumed 100% of the O.M.A. fee schedule, it wouid tend ta encourage overcharging, and it is estimated would cost an addition- al $40 million. It should be noted that only sanie 15%c of doctors at the present time appear ta be charg- ing the extra 10%l or more, and there is no guarantee that the doc- tor's skill in any particular case justifies this extra charge. 5. The Ontario Government could drasticalW, reduce premiums and pay for the hcalth insurance prag- ram through a raise in sales, corp- oration and personal incarne taxes. Such a policy would, however, have sorne adverse characteristics. It wauld tend- te raise taxes to a prohibitive level, particularly when the Federal Government withdraws from the prog- ram in five years and assigns extra in- carne tax points ta the provinces as a substitution. The average citizen wouid tend te get the impression that lie is getting free medical coverage whereas he is actually paying the cost through higher taxes either directly or indirectly' through increased cost of goods. It would alsa encourage the over- use of health services and prohibit needed expansion of health services through provision of medical personnel and facilities. Regardless of haw the cost le as- sumed the programme is gaing ta b. increasingly expensive in the yearo ahead. GOT A MINUTE? Tirne was when you could chat with a colleague on the shop floor or in the office for a few minutes without it cost- ing more than a penny, or twa. Not any more. These days, time really is money. Example: If yau work an average day of eight haurs, 244 days a week, and yau make $5,000, your tirne has a price tag of $2.60 an hour attached ta it - or more than four cents a minute. If you're a $10,000 a year man warI- ing the same hours and days then 0 m viausly your tîrne la warth twice that'- and that of the $20,000 a year executivS is*worth twice that again.
