ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAV, AUGUST lSth, 1968 ORONO0 WEEKLY TIMES (Autborized as Secondl Class mail, Post Office Departinent, Ottawa) Pablinhed every 'lbursday at the off ice of publcatioe Main1 Street, Phone 109, Orono, COntario Estabished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Ed9tWra.nd Manager Deductables Some consideration Is being given to the possibility of establislhhg deductable clauses in hospîtai and medical insurance. This has already happened in Saskatchewan and it is undcrstood 'that other parts of Canada are watch- ing the results of the plan. The sclieme seems a reasonable one and one which should lielrp to curb rising misuse and costsof liospital and medical plans. The scheme is not new for it is used in car insurance where deductables are apart of the insur- ance policy. If it works in this field then it should work i other similar fields of insurance. Insuranoe over the years has developed to a fine point in coverage. At one time medical insurance meant the paying of doctor's services while in hospital. This has grown to thp point that now office visitations are paid for by the insurance company and also te the point of paying for ahl drugs etc. It lias become fashionable to say that "ail my expenses were paid, it didn't cost me a cent." This, of course, is liardly true for it is the indivi- duai in the first place wlio makes th'e moncy available te pay these bis. The cost is spread out over a period of Urne. The fact that it appears there is no cost to certain services tends to extend the use of these*services beyond their rightful need. This increases the cost and no doubt lesse n te a degree the service through overloaded hospitals and doctors. The escalation is ail on the wrong side of the iedger. A deductable clause for home and office calîs wouid nip one of the costliest features of medicare. Even in tlie cost of administration a five dollar charge (the majority being below. $10.00) costs as mucli to process as a $10000 charge. When. things become free or appear to beceme free there is a decrease in tlie respect paid thc commodity. It becomes an item of waste and misuse. Instead of ever increasing prcmiums for hospitaliz- ation and medicare and- the continuation of over-misuse it secms that checks such as deductables would be warrant- cd. These need not be excessive so tliey would hurt the publiceliealth but large enougli to be a deterant for mîsuse Up And Down The Book, Stocks These students planning te de researdch at Clarke Public Libnary duning thecocming scliuol session will be pleased te learn that wc can offer up-te-date 'editiens cf encyciopedia.

The arcli itect, Mn. Reid, said that lic weuid not be ready for tendcring for anotlicr four wccks and then there were certain approvals to obtain. Tehidering in itsclf would take tlirec weeks and construc- tion from three to four menths. Mr. Moffat asked if it was regular that a full year would pass be- twecn the time tliat a Board de- cided to buiid, to thie time that work wouid start on' the projcct. Hie said, "I just don't understand wliy it sheuld take so long." Mr. Reid, architcct, pointed out that the Dcpartment of Education liad turned doWn the original drafting as they now want the stage to bc extra to the requircd 1975 square feet. This was not the case in Kendal, lie said. In tlie matter of thec play- ground arca, Mr. Stutt stated that lie, along 'witli Mr. Bunting and Mr. Moffat liad gone, over thie area ahicl le lad brouglit a proposai before tlie Board on whicli no action lid been taken. The plan was te extend the area to the nortli-east to the flat be- hind the scliooi. Mr. Stutt said he didn't agrec witli the, actioti of the Board but tliey wantcd to liold back. "I think it sliouid have been donc", lic said. Mr. Green- woed said the funds were not availabie for the work as it had not been ihcludcd in the budget. Hc also poînted out tliat instrue- tional salaries wcre taking an ad- ditionai $9000.00 this year wliicli was not contemplated. We would have te review the finances, lic said. Board members were not cer- tain on the estimated costs whîch at the meeting was cstimatcd from $80000 to $200000. Mr. Loweny pointed eut that the Board liad intended 'te do the work at the saine time as the Generai Purpose room was being donce but duc to the hoid up the work on thc playgnound liad not been donc. Tlie Board is to go over their financiai position to sec if moncy is available for the work, In' the matter cf facilities for physicai education the Board is to endeavour to procure suitable accommodation and such build- ings as the cliurch basement and the rink were suggested. Mr. Moffat said tliat accommodation in Oreno wouid be mucli better thahi busing chljdren te another General Purpose t'opm in Lock- harts or Kirby. Theý majority of tlie) delegation supported this view cf the Orono principal. Mr. Moffat aIse said that there liad been many rumors qiirculat- ing, one bcing tliat the Orono school may be ciosed wlicn the new Board teck over, None cf the Schooi Board members wcrc awarc of sucli a possibility. It would bc hoped, stated Mr. Stutt that the ncw Board wouid con- tinue within the proposai made- by the present Board te build a new schooi in Orono. Mr. Moffat said lie did net want a palace but weuld like te have the scheel in as good a con- dition as possible. Commission Inquiry (Continued frein page 1) Clarke Dated July 27tli, 1968.

Mr. Cepping opened the meet- ihg on Sunday witl a, few words and stated that many questions are being asked te whicli ne an- swers can be found or given at this time. Many, lie said, wil have te wait until after the Mun- icipal Board Hearing. "It is liard te give a dlean, picture in many cases," lie said. Mr. Butt said that the Associa- tion was only interested in facts pertaining 'ta the weli-being cf the Township and net in rumor, gessip or questions of a doubtfiul nature.

BASIS 0F PLANNING Mr. Butt cenducted ah interest:, ing heur on the basis cf planning in general. During lis talk Mn. Butt uscd' slides te illustrate his theme. Hie rcferned te planning dating back te the 16th century wlien even then urban growth was spillhg inte the rural areas. Many cf the conditions cf today wcre experienced years age. fHe said planning was essentiaily ahi urban thing. In 1840 a man ceuld walk across Lehdon where today this city lias sprawled eut te a distance cf 30 te 35 miles. He made neference te the Fleet river in London whicli in the matter ef 25 years was turned fnem a treut 'and saimon stream to an open isewer. Hie spoke cf residentiai devel- opment by higli risc apantments where 200 te, 300 people a re le- cated per acre. Hie felt that thîs was possibly better tliat row-- house development as lias beenï carrie d out in some sections of' the world. High rise did give air- and sunlight and space to move- around. Hie was critical of stacked traf- fic and multi-widc liigliways suck as we are new wittnessing even in Toronto. The car, lie said, wasý the root of many evils not only in the neccssity of furtlier and. further highways but often cnus- ing down 'town sections to be bligited with parking areas tak- ing space even beyond tliat of' the commercial buildings. He saw rapid transportation as a cure for this cvii. 11e also referred to'tlie garden city plans which date back to, 1811 ahd wliich are a self-con- tained unit of industry, commer- cial and residential. These cen- tres, lic said, were surrounded' with a green beit. Today we are again approaching this idea with tlie formatioh,,of satelite citiesý whicli are now being considered. He spoke of MQrris as the orngin- ator of the sclieme back in 1860,, to 1870. Mr. Butt stated tliat lie was a- great believer of Lewis Mumford' who doesn't hesitate to attack anything that affects personal living. The speaker feit tliat planning was again beginning te, look to tlie needs of people. In closing lic stated that we cannotý stay static but we don't want te, surrender to some of 'tlie tliings wc oe have. "We cân have sometl--'ýig better," lie said, jACK 99 Ki.ng St., E.
