newspaper association and the ontarioouebeo division of the owjfjl the editors carrier new uniform hydro rates benefit 97 rural users the new uniform rate inaugurated on january 1 1944 by the hydro electric power commission of ontario to all consumers served direct by the commis sion in the rural areas of ontario has many advantages and provides a saving to most farm and hamlet users under the new system all rural power districts are now coordinated into one rural provincial power system with a uniform meter rate applying throughout the estimated saving to rural ontario per year is an amount exceeding 500000 which is equivalent to 10 per cent of the commissions total revenue from rural consumers in 1943 farm users have welcomed the elimination of the service charge and the hamlet con sumers have had their service charge cut in half it is estimated 97 per cent of all rural customers are benefited by the rate change and only a small num ber approximately 3 are adversely affected to a small extent georgetown and glen williams are noteffected by this particular change but the other surrounding villages such as limehouse stewartfown etc will come under the new system health insurance costs are high the dominion government is proposing to et up in canada a system of national health insurance un der which every citizen when overtaken by sickness ill be given free of charge every kind of medical surgical nursing hospital and prescription service deemed necessary by the physician ofhis or her choice the ontario provincial government is also giving this plan serious thought these days but as yet no definite course of action has been plotted tentative figures have been released however to show just how much we will be required to pay into the government for such protection to people inthe moderate income bracket they look pretty steep and we feel sure these will have to be pared down somewhat before the plan meets with general approval the amount contributed by the individual will vary according to income the basic rate will be the same for all 12 a year but an assessment of three per cent on income over 660 a year will be made on single jersons and five per cent on married persons with in come of 1500 a year and over the assessment on income of single persons will not exceed 30 a year and theru be 50 thus a single person with an income of 1 000 a year will pay a total of 2220 for health insurance 1200 for the lpasic fee and 1020 for income levy those having 1660 and more a year will pay 12 a year basic fee and 30 income levy a married man with an income of 1500 a year will pay a total of 39 for health in surance 24 for basic fee for himself and wife plus 15 income evy those with incomes ranging from 2200 a year and over will contribute a total of 74 a jyear to the health insurance fund 24 a year for basic fee for two persons and 50 income levy compulsory state health insurance will be an ntirely new experience in canada in legislating it cosdy errors can easily be made and fortunately can be almost as easily avoided depending oh the care taken to anticipate and provide against every possible trouble haste should have no part in the framing of such a measure bureaucrats recently a creamery in erin was robbed and among the loot were the owners gas ration coupons which were used for the trucks in connection with the dairy end of the business writing about the difficulties which had to be overcome by the proprietor before re placement coupons could be obtained editor hulls in the erin advocate makes a few pertinent comments with which anyone who has had to transact similar- business will agree the fact that these vehicles the dairy trucks were being used for most essential purposes and that the books had been stolen failed to remove much of the us ual red tape one must go through to satisfy government officials it took two days of valuable time and the ne cessary expense a trip to hamilton to parliament msafldinffs toronto and back to hamilton before the book for one truck was secured it is true that a close check up must be kept on the ration system but legitimate absolutely essential caaeaahouu be treated with a semblence of regard for tip circumstances from what we learn considerate courteous re- ssjption ws accorded the two gentlemen by the top of- rjfciali in the offices but the snobbery of

are ser vants not masters a certain amount of bureaucracy is unavoid able in warime when a country must be more or less organized into one vast complex unit with a single pur pose in view but certainly we hope that once the war is won and our men and women come back tauenjoy their wellearned liberty they will not have to be hem med in and restrained on every side by petty govern- merit officials who feel their position as the two erin creamery men pointed out it is not the officials at the top who are at fault as a rule however one sure way to eliminate these little bureaucrats is to dispense witli their bureaus and we strongly recommend dissolv ing as many of these nests of red tape as possible after the war mrs ontario among women in war industries count the farm wife it is she who has much to doatkttimisn7ngthe food which sustains other women at their labors in ordnance or munitions plants in addition to providing sustenance for men on the fighting fronts while she may not spend long wellpaying hours in airplane factories she is vastly concerned in turning out an equally importatjt variety of wings poultry which by taking the pace of meats enables hundreds of housewives to conserve precious ration points and eggs which in addition to furnishing war workers breakfasts when dehydrated and sent abroad provide a welcome change of menu for canadian armed forces and the civilian populations of embattled nations in these doubly busy times she is held at home her hands nonetheless reach across the sea to offer un der lendlease agreements steaks bacon and other meats many ruralists busy from dawn to dusk over coming the farm labor shortage are leaving the care and feeding of livestock largely to their wives and the wives are meeting the emergency with entire success she has not donned slacks to build general grants but she has more than a nodding acquaintance with the tanks younger brother the tractor and can put it through its paces before plow or harrow many a seed ed field bears witness to the farm wifes determination and adaptability while women war workers use their pay checks to buy bonds she dips deep into her butter and egg money for a like purpose her bond buying has enabled many a rural community to meet its quota farm wives are serving their country well in 1944 they may be likened to those high privates in the rear ranks whose names
