Cheetham Northern Affairs Officer Winter has really settled in now and many people will be deciding to get away from winter by travelling south. If you are in this group, perhaps this column will be of some help as we may be able to give you advice that can ease some problems. We receive many in- quiries relating to OHIP coverage out of Canada and auxiliary coverage for such trips. OHIP will cover 100 percent of non-elective (emergency) hospitaliza- tion in standard ward and medical services. Solicited health care is covered at 75 percent of standard ward rates and at 75 percent for. extra services provided. There is an excellent pam- phlet available which describes the necessary documents that you must bring back with you after receiving medical services out of Canada, in order to claim reimbursement.

POT 2SO FTD > h SUE Lee back at work Rosa, so keep up the good work. As all-of you know we make plastic flowers here for decorating cars for weddings, and as the time is upon us once more for spring and summer wed- dings, we are very badly in _ heed of empty egg boxs, to put these flowers in for storage so may I ask you housewives to please save them for us. Just drop them off here at the Home and we will be really grateful. Thank you. I got a couple of phone calls in regards to my pic- ture in last week's paper taken with a nice big '*pussycat." These wise guys wanted to know which one was the beauty and which was the beast. Come on fellas I know there is a lot of hard miles on this road but you must admit for 75 it really isn't all that bad, I know I'm not Helen of Troy and my face would not launch a thou- sand ships, but maybe one little shrimp boat? It will soon be time for hours of fishing in the sun, so please remember our '*Wild Game Cookbooks" we have on sale here. There are 28 pages of fish recipes which are very good, and they can be bought here at Birchwood for $6.50. As I have put in a '*reminder" about trash I won't have a real big bite for this week.
