THURSTON, Editor FEDERATION NEWS (By Clifford Allen, President Grey County Federation of AEriculture) Statistics show that each year one family in five require hospital care. Accidents, ill health, sickness, strike suddenly, and often when we are least prepared for them. Hospital care is often postponed because of the fear of being unable to meet the bill, causing ereater pain and suffer- ing, increased costs, and many times, unnecessary loss of life. For several years past the Ontario Hospital Associ-tion has sponsored the "Plan for Hospital Care," which gives service to the subscribers at cost, and which profits no one but the subscribers. The Plan for Hos- pital Care fills a long-felt need. A great many people have taken advantage of the Plan, approxinrnteiy one million joining it each year on ♦:his contineHt. The cost to the individual is so small iJiat it can be rightly said that the service is available to everyone. The co:>t for a single subscriber is less tJian two cents a day and less than thi-ee and one half cents a A&y protects a family, i.e., husband, wife and all children under 16 years old. One need not have a medical ex- amination to join the Plan. It doe- not become more expensive as you â- grow older. There is no age Harrier. You are admitted regardless - ' *''â-  - state of your health at the time. Once enrolled under the Plan, each subscrilber, husband, wife and each child, are entitled to 21 days of hos- pital cafe in each year. This includ- es hospital room, board, and all need- ed hospital services for the 21 da-" period. The rates for a standard Wird are 50_ cents a month for the single siAscriber ox $1.00 oer month for family, husband, wife and all childr'>i under 16 years of age. For a semi-private ward the rate is 75 cents and $1.50 per month. If it is necessary for the patient to have a private ward, only the difference in the price will be charged' to the suibecriber. The subscriber entering the hos- pital will have the satisfaction and relief of knowing that his bill will not be a burden. Worry-free, he will recover sooner. The above rates, of course, are the average. To take individual enroll- ments the risk would hp too great. It is necessary, therefore, to join as a member of a croup. There must be at least five in a group and up to ten. The full membership is requir- ed to join. If the membership of the group is between 11 and 25 there must be at least 10 enroll with the Plan. If the membership of *he jrroup exceeds 25 in number, it is necessary for at least 40'^r " the members to sign up for the Plan. Now, the question might be rais- ed as to what type of group is eligible. Any group over five in number is eligible. Rural people night eni-oll on a township basris, or n a school section, units of the Fed- oration of Agriculture, Farm Radio 'orums, credit unions, farmers' co- iperatives or any other group. The question we should ask our- elves is. Why not take advantage if this non-profit service offered to he people?" As more people join the Plan it an be operated cheaper, either by • creasing the service, or by lower- nor rates. Yes, why not get behind he Plan, accept its service and at he same time make it serve us •etter ? of Malton apent Easter at their honw here. * Mr. and Mrs. Garnvan Swell spent the week end with the letter's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Duckett.
