ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY l5th, 1968 ORONO W EEK LY TIME S (Au orzed . as Secon-,d Class mnail, Post Office Depai*t!ment, ?uusideveýry Th-ursday at the of'Ifice of publicatioe Mlain Street, Pnone 109, uron, u 0itario Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Manager Medicare Facts seem to be missing in the present battie over Miedicare and there appears to be irrevalent arguments and a scare campaign. It is a' question on ývhich both the fed- eral and provincial governments have been rîglit and wrong. Ottawa would appear to be right in its position that Canada has reached a position of wealtli and maturity in that everyonie is entitled to Medicare. This appears in On- tario where close to one hundred percent of the population is today covered for medical care either through individual policies or policies paid for by the Ontario Treasury. Ot- tawa mnay be wrong in its 'phasing-in' policy but this, is flyý a matter of tirning and what is there in a year one way or another. The Province of Ontario has assured everyone medi- cal care in its program of OMSIP. This is a cost to the tax- payers of the Province who today finance the poor risks and those who are unable to, pay for the service. Private firrns are allowed the creami of the crop, those who are in good health and ýwho can afford the prerniurn charges. In fact the private insurance companies are making money on this group while the Province subsidizes the' poor risk factors. The scare over the Ottawa scheme being compulsory is really a false scare because no one can afford te be with- out it anyways, except, of course, the very ricli. Many people are frighitened to death of Medicare. But this friglit does nlt corne from fact but rather fromn staternents, rnany of which are fundamentally wrong. The use of terris such as 'wreak havoc' and 'excessively ex- pensive' are alrisleading. Today the majority have medical care, paying the cost of premiurns out of their own pockets. The Ottawa scheme cornes in with assistance ta everyone which in the end is a cost to the tax payer but then is also a savinig factor as it reduces, to a degree, the present premiums. The scheme assures care to ail Canadians which is the key for its existance. Frankly our political leaders have not paid us the respect which we are entitled to in'this issue. Canada May Be 11eady For, Swinger, But Is Hle? The charisma of Pierre Elliott Trudeau lias become a political phenomýenon exciting Canadians of ail party al-' legiances but particnlarly the Liberals. It rnay well lie ini the power of the Liberais to elevate this self-admitted neo- phyte of Canadiian affairs to the position of prime min- ister of the country. Justice Minister Trudeau lias not courted the amaz- ing following drawn te hlm wherever lie appears. H1e seems a self-effacing individual. His attraction lies in the great difference lie represents frein the standard images of pol- iticians to which Canadians have corne to be ah to accust- omed - images in fact with which we have becorne hored if nlot disilluisioned. His intellectual capacity, lis dress, his mannerisms, bis background set Pierre Elliott Trudeau a cut outside the ordinary. He's adjnrged by his "fans" as a man aptly in character with the times. Peter Newman, the political coin- mentator who deait so ruthlessly with John Diefenbiaker and lias not always been kind to Prime Minister Pearson, is but one of many in the Ottawa Press corps who lias, been caught up in the Trudeau aura. H1e writes of hin as a "cerebral man of action wlio despite bis obvions' passion lias a sense of inner repose and a refusaI to bend bis per- sonality into artificial political postures." Other pundits have based their judgements on the Marshal, McLuhan theme that the medium is the message. In this context Mr. Trudeau is compared to John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Their case for Trudeau is based on condnct rather than accomplishment. It is perliaps indicative of short memories can be that The Trudeau enthusiasts have gone south of the border for the comparison. It is not too many years ago that many of the samne members of the Ottawa press corps were enthralled witli a Canad ian of immense public rapport. His naine was John Diefenbiaker. Mr. Diefenbaker lias vision, a conscientious concern fo r bis fellow Canadians and a background in poiitics, that ,,,r. Trudeau lacks. Yetthe conntry qnickly soured on hlm. And, almost as rapidly, bis party did too.
