Mr. Frost will be 65 on Sept. 20. Mr. Cecile said the federal @ plan covered only persons 70 years old or more, while the U.S. scheme covered disabled persons at 50, retired men at 65 and women at 62.

It would be based on con- tributions related to earnings and be portable so employees could take it with them to new jobs. Earlier, Mr. Frost announced the fifth select committee in one week, The committee of 11 legis- lature members will inquire into crop insurance. Other select com- mittees are to study the price of drugs, land expropriation proced- ures, compensation for traffic ac- cidents and the organization of government in Ontario. Welfare Minister Cecile also told the legislature he is critical of the federal government's In dian policy. He said the Indian affairs branch is trying to make the Indians conform to the laws and economic outlook of the whites, while failing to take into consideration the '"'attitudes o Indians and their normal way o' life."
