John Aird McPhee was listed as previously reportâ€" ed imissing on active service overseas, now for official purposes presumed dead in the RCAF.‘s 661 casualty list of the war issued last night. His nextâ€"Oofâ€"kin is his mother, Mrs John McPhee, of Kirkland Lake, ‘"The monthly contributions by the McIntyre employees and the Company are the same as paid under the Hollinâ€" ger Medical Plan, which has operated successfully for the past six years. The same administration and constitution governing the Hollinger plan will be adopted." Other Mines to Use Plan A number of other mines in the Camp are also having their employees vote on the Employees‘ Medical Plan. Kirkland Lake Flier is Now Presumed to be Dead committee will act in conjunction with a committee of medical members to form a Board of Directors.

The mine manâ€" agement will contribute $1.10 per emâ€" ployee per month. In addition to this there will be a service charge of 50c for the first visit of an employee or member of his family in home or office and $1.00 if two or more members reâ€" ceive any service during the month. The maximum in any one month is $£1.00. It has been the experience of medical plans in general that where payment has been made for medical care in the same manner as insurance, there is a tendency for a number of peéople to seek the services of a doctor a great number of times and some of these are unnecessary. This service charge is added for those people who tend to use the plan unnecessarily. The amount of money contributed will take care of the ordinary run of illnesses provided that the doctors, membexs of the plan and their families will play ball. Treatment should be repeated at intesâ€" vals of three or four days. (2) Aphids ciuster in dense masses on new growth of many plants.
