The doctors are tired of it, with the ex- ception of a few high paid specialists." This statement was made by a prom- inent local doctor recently. The people are equally as tired of it as the doc- tors and probably moreso. It is quite exident that there will be a change in the set-up before long. Other coun- tries of the world are many years in advance of Canada' now. In the cun-ent of changing events, we must now decide if we will permit rural medical practice to drift on and suffer the fate that threatens capital- istic business, to collapse and pass into the hands of government as it has in some countries, such as Ger- many and Russia. Do we want it to become the play-toy of our political parties? State medicine, even with all its deficiencies, offers advantages over the present, private competitive practice, and there is every evidence that it will continue to expand, unless the people prefer and perfect the vol- untary, private, non-poiitical practice of medicine by co-operative organ- ization. The co-operative method gives ser- vice to the consumer at cost. It is entirely democratic, ^ince the people who buy the service have the controll- ing power. The Co-operative Health Association is formed by a number of families paying a set fee annually in advance, to cover the expense of any medical service which they might re- quire during the year. In this way the people who are well are helping those who are sick and at the same time their risk is being carried, by the Association. Such a system is en- tirely voluntary, non-political and wholly in the field of private business, but business for service and not for profit. At the present tim€ the doctor's living depends upon the people becom- ing sick, but under the co-operative method, it would be the duty of the doctor to prevent sickness as much as possible. A certain doctor may be engaged by the Association and put on salary, or the members of the Co- operative Health Association may elect to have free choice of doctor. In the United States .38% of the population receive no medical treat- ment when they are incapacitated by disease, and yet an average of §30.00 per person a year is paid for medical seiwices of all kinds. This means an average of $120.00 per family. The Ann Arbour, Michigan, C. H. A., gives medical sei-vice to its members for $30 per family per year. This shows what can be accomplished by co-operation. Co-operative organizations should in- clude hospitalization as soon as they are in a position to do so. For ex- imple, at Elk City, Oklahoma, the C. H. A. sold stock at $50 a share to raise capital to build a hospital. Med- ical service is given to members for $25 per year for a family of not more than four. This supplies periodical medical examinations, medical care, surgical operations nnd dental care. Room, boai'd and nursing in the hos- pital are supplied at §1.00 per day. Prepa.vmeiit of medical servici' makes budgeting- possible. The patient knows just how much his fioctor is going to cost a year in ad- vance and is freed from the threat of neeting the expense of an unforseen sickness. No health co-operntive will develop unless some individual or group takes he initiative. Each for all, and all for each, It's a way of life worth while, It gives t(T all the .ioys of life .And gives them with a smile. To every man his brother gives .\ loyal helping hand, That love and thought for fellow man May glorify our land.

Rivers High For -^ Trout Fishing Speckled trout fishing for Ontario opens Saturday of this week, April 27. The season usually commences May 1st, but th?' Depai'tni^-nt of (lime ami Fisheries this year deciJ'- 1 to jiive the fishermen an extra w-et end by advancing the date four days. It is not expected that the rivers will be ready to receive the influx of fisher- men as they are very high at the present time from the spring rains and in many places are overflowing the banks. The Hydro lake has been very low this winter, only the river flowing underneath the bridge on the 8th line, where so many large fish have been captured in recent years, and where the the water is about ten feet deep. By this Saturday the water will have risen sufficiently (we hope) to make fishing reasonably successful at that point. There are places, though, where small trout have been placed in recent years that should give up some of their finny beauties. An Owen Sound firm is again ron- ducting the fishing competition in Grey and Bruce counties, open to adults and children, and it is hoped that this district will again produce the winning speckled trout, as it has done so many times in the past, but prospects are none too hopeful. 30 YEARS MARRIED, t'^ The editor was pleased to receive a letter from Mr. Thos.

May God be with you and may you return, unharmed, to us ^gain and be able to resume natural life. We beg of you to accept this gift, as a token of remembrance of your many friends here. Signed on behalf of your sincere friends, Joe Porteous, Bill Hanley, Albert Williams. Herb was completely taken by sur- prise and thanked all for the gift.

Phone 1.1 for appointment INA M. BRADLEY "Bell" Anniversary . Monday, April 29th next, will be the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. Although the original intention of the company's founders was to serve all Canada, the problem of adequate capital in due time made it expedient to Kmit the Company's field to the two central provinces of Ontario and Quebec. From an enteiTsrise requiring a to- tal investment of little more than 8400,000, serving about 2,100 subscri- bers, the Company has grown until today its total assets are about $247,- 000,000, and it sei-ves some 785,- 000 telephones. To Bell subscribers the continuous results of scientific research carried on by Bell Telephone Laboratories have been aible to avail almost from the begining. One notable result has been that Canadians use the tel- ephone more than the people in any- other land. Nowhere else does the user get more in service for what he pays than in Ontario and Quebec. There are some 3,600,000 miles of wire owned by the Bell Telephone Co. .^n airplane plying constantly at 100 miles per hour â€" day and night â€" would take more than four years to travel this distant. EAST MOUNTAIN Mrs. Len Haines and Miss Ursula Thompson spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sheridan and Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Smith at Duncan.
