It was the entry of Bernic Martin Saturday in bis one-man production of Ponder-Osa before an early evening audience seaîed in the corner of the Spooner paddock. The performance was typical Martin, with a message, with audience participation, and a large portion of Martin humor.

Durham East Winter in Florida - buy health coverage!, The Ontario goverriment is changing the way it pays for, out-of- country hiospital services. These changes will affect anyone planning to leave the country for any period of time -- whethier it's on vacation, work assigrinent or attending sehool, Beginning October 1, the Health Ministry will pay $400 per day for acute medical care, such as surger, highi technoiogy treatment and frequent monitoring of a paticnt's condition and $200 per day for rehabilitative and' other less mcdically intense care, such as treatmcnt for substance abuse, psychiatrie illness and eating disorders. These figures reflect hospital rates in Ontario and are much lower than the daily rates bcing charged by hospitals in the United States and elsewhere. What ail of tbis means is, anyone who plans to be out of the country after October. 1 should buy additional health coverage through a private insurer to cover any medical cmergency that may arise. The above noted rates will also apply to Ontario residents who travel out of the country strictly for medical treatment. With prior approval fromn the Ministry of Hcalth, the full cost of out-of- country hospital treatment will be paid by the ministry if it is flot available ini Ontario, also, if the life of the patient is threaiencd or irreversible damage to his or bier health occurs.' Ontarios annual payments to American health care institutions have more than doubled in the last three years to more thani $200 million.
