This new provision is to allow time for the resident to obtain other hos- pital insurance in his mew place of residence. - "We believe this new regulation will be very helpful'to insured -per- sons who move out of the province" stated Dr. R. W. Ian-Urquhart, Chafr- man of the Commission, in making |" the announcement, "Of course, the necessary. premiums will have to be prepaid. If the resident is prepaid further than thrée months in advance when he leaves Ontario, he should ad- vise the Commission and any pre- miums paid beyond three months will be refunded. Another import ent point to remember" the Chairman went on, "is that Ontario Hospital Insurance will not be permitted to overlap any other hospital insurance which the former resident may obtain in his new place of residence before three months. have elapsed. The Commission" will not provide benefits if such persons. are also collecting benefits for the same services from "Ni another organization." It is anticipated, in the not too dis. tant future, there will be reciprocal agreemnts among all the provinces of Canada which have Government-spon- sored hospital insurance plans where- by residents who move from one of these provinces to another will be able to have continuous hospital .in- surance with the greatest possible convenience. = In the meantime, new residents are subject to the same wait- ing period as present residents of the Province, that is, benefits are effec- tive on the first day.of the third month after spplisation is made.

Cran River. The bridge, 32 miles northwest of St. Felicien was constructed by the cantilever méthod. To transfer workers & materials to the opposite side of the deep gorge, a needlemast was erected to gupport a cableway similar to the breeches-buoy technique employed to transfer men between ships at sea. The first section of the line between Beattyville and Chibougamau was opened in 1957 and it is expected the second section from Chibougamau to St. Felicien of 133 miles will be opened late this year. The new town of Chibougamau is now a thriving municipality of Scugog Scout And Cub Pack Dear Parents, Boys and Girls: There will be .a combined Cub and Scout Camp to be held the week-end of August 22-23-24, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
