The only physician to remain was Dr. Warren Law, a local plastic surgeon. Law, who is an "opted out physician on a discretionary basis", said he thinks the extra-billing issue is being used by Peterson to hide the real problem. __ 111%, doctor I know is eitra billing someone on unemployment, welfare or mother's allowance.

The purpose of the evening is to make the achievements of outstanding mathematics and computer education students better known. Sixty Waterloo County Secondary School stu- dents will be recognized on the evening. By turning down the written request, it looks unlikely that any council member will be invited to the event.
