in the- house as we were last week we were even cold in bed at least i was partner had sense enough to get up and find an extra blanket fqrhis bed but i hated to leave the comparative warmth of the bedclothes ifor the chillier at mosphere beyond and oh dear that wind until partner reasoned it out we were a little alarmed it the house being so cold we thought we had taken every pre caution to make it comfortable storm windows insulation and plenty of coal but it being fairly mild for 5 long partner had kept tftie fire in the furnace as low as possible so when that cold norwester struck this district the furnace firebox was half empty and be cause of the wind we were afraid to put ontoo big a fire better to be a little cold we thought than to get too warm by having the house catch fire however the storm was of short duration it is now all in the past and it depart ed w ithout leaving too much dam age in it- wake we had two other worries inst week david of course was one of them

about christ mas we intended holding it here as usual but now we cannot make nnv definite plans as dee and ar thur wont be able to bring dave out if the weather should be the least bit rough dee wants us all to go there instead but w think she has enough to contend with witn- out taking on an more extra wofk we could all help with the work of course but maybe too man around wouldnt be too good for dave however i expect everything will work out all right it gener ally does anyway it is just another of the kind of problems most of us meet with in our everyday life problems that we either face overcome or but no we dont let them get us down do we we all run into per iods ot stormy weather both re ll and theoretical rough while it lasts but eventually the sun breaks through again just as the sun is shining now so bright rnd deal it would seem that cold windy spell we had last week was little more than a dream speaking of dreams we hope plans for the federal provincial health insurance

forego the christ mas turkey or eat turkev leftovers for diy after christmas turkeys have changed through new methods of turkey raising it is nnw possible to buy a smaller meatier and broader- breasted bird they can be stuffed with the fimilvs favorite dressing and roasted like the heavier tur keys some smaller families may want to have two of these small turkeys each with a different kind of dressing instead of one larger bird they can be cooked much more quickly than a large turkey of comparable total weight of course most people even on farms have some sort of hospital insurance but it doesnt begin to cover the entire cost of an illness mo doubt we should be amazed if we knew how many farms carry a mortgage raised when money for medical expenses was an absolute necessity finance companies re- j port a large percentage of their i loans are also for the same- pur- 1 pose at such a time it doesnt make things any easier to hear that tax figures show doctors to be the highest paid group in canada in 1499 they came third it is my guess that employment being at a high level there are fewer bad debts on the doctors books which would naturally account for an increased income state medicine are words of ill repute but surely canada can benefit tfrom the mistakes and ex periences of proven medical plans in this and other countries sask atchewan seems to be quite satis fied with its prepaid hospital and medical plan dr mckinnon phil lips has gone one further with suggestions for homecare for pat ients not urgently in need of hos pitalization some such scheme should surely relieve some of the congestion in hospitals quite of ten patifcntscnl hospital because it is their only way of collecting sick benefits the chances are they would much prefer to stay at home a federal provincial medical plan is bound to affect us all so wouldnt it be a good idea to follow it carefully and be ready with our own opinion as to its merits or otherwise best wishes to rosedale service
