The commissioners are seeking a way to keep Canada's ailing railways in the black without saddling the far-flung areas of he country with oppressive or discriminatory freight rates. The Ontario government is ex- pected to lead off today at the hearings, followed by. chambers of commerce from Southern On- tario, Metronoli'an Toronto Board of Trade, Canadian Metal Mining Association, Canadian Electrical Manufacturers Association, On- tario Federation of Agriculture| and several other organizations. EVERYONE AFFECTED Freight rates affect everyone-- | from western farmers who sell their grain abroad and buy their implements from factories far from their farms to lumber pro- ducers in British Columbia, or miners cn the Atlantic seaboard. To some extent, the level of freight rates determines where an industry can locate, how far Minister Heinrich von Bren- tano. --AP Wirephoto it can sell its products. In some communities, freight BA of distinct regions knit together by early railways, freight rates on goods moved by rail are the chief source of revenue for the two big railways.

There really is a village in France called simply Oo (pro- nounced like the double "00" in toot.) It is a small village in the Pyrenees. And as any local Ooite can tell you being a na- tive of Oo has its advantages as well as disadvantages. For one thing an Ooite has no trouble squeezing the name into the small space usually alloted on official forms for place of residence. But then suspicious clerks have heen known to return the fem with instructions to fill in ~ complete name. When asked by strangers where he hails from the man from Oo braces himself for a struggle. In French his home- tcwn has almost the same sound as the French word for where (ou), and that can lead to all sorts of complications. Village bonsters who like to Oh and Ah over Oo may se- cretly wish the name had more punch.

This is shown by the| steady annual increase in the number of registered doctors| over the last 10 years. There is| little or no trend in the direction| of doctors leaving Britain be-| cause of the scheme. This, how-| ever, does not mean that none are leaving, because the call of| the under-developed areas of the Commonwealth for medical men has proved an irresistible chal- lenge to many doctors, who have left Britain for these areas -- but not because of the NHS. BASIS OF PAYMENT Payment of the doctors in the national health services is based| primarily on the number of pa-| tients they have 'on their lists. | The actual mtehod of payment is through a central pool, based on the number of doctors in the serv- ice, and amounting to over £60 million annually, From this, in addition to the fees for the num- ber of patients on the list, pay- ments are made for practice ex- penses and mileage in certain areas, All doctors taking part in the service are paid a capitation fee which at present is fixed at 18 shillings per patient on the list per annum. The maximum fee permitted is 3500 for a single-| handed practitioner, 4500 for al partnership doctor, provided the average per doctor does not ex- ceed 3500. and 2000 patients are allowed if a permanent assistant] is employed. | There is also what is termed as an additional "loading" of 12s 6d for every patient' within the range of 501 to 1500 on a doctor's list. These "loadings" are adjust- ed in favor of the doctors where there is a partnership. REMUNERATION LEVELS The following table shows the gross remuneration from capita- tion fees and "loadings" only, that is, the basic earnings of the doctors per year, Size of List 500 Basic Earnings £ 450 £ 82% £1200 £1575 £1950 £2400 £2950 £7700 : £3750 {here are further provisions, however, which enable doctors to increase their earnings. An initial practice allowance may be paid to doctors setting up a single- handed practice in areas desig- nated as under-doctored. These allowances are £780 for the first year, £585 in the second year and | £260 in the third year.

While the rate in- creases were permitted across- the-board, the railways could not raise 'o the maximum their charges in some areas--chiefly in central Canada--because of competition from trucks and ships. | As 2 result, the more recent rate increases have been levelled largely against the so - called "captive traffic"'--low-cost, bulk shipments that can only move economically by rail, such as lumber, or shipments in areas lacking major truck or ship serv- ices, Most of the captive traffic lies in the West and the Maritimes, | These two regions, many miles from markets and manufactur- ers, have persistently protested against the inequity--some even {call it iniquity--of horizontal rate (increases.
