The Japdnese*mills used to the attention of a doctor. get their coal in close-to-home| When this time does arrive the first concern of the patient is often not so much what is wrong as how it is going to be paid for. Elimination of this worry is the purpose of the Medical Services Asso- ciation, an independent non-profit organization which carries out the administrative functions of a prepaid medical service plan, As extensive use is made of M-S-A throughout the provinee, a joint announcement just released by this organization and the B.C. division of the Cana- dian Medical Association is of considerable interest to a large section of the public. The announcement is made as the result of a general misunderstanding about the relationship between M-S-A and doctors of the province. Observing that the two groups are independent of each other but that the success of the prepaid | medical care plan depends upon their absolute co- | operation, it clarifies the services to which M-S-A members are entitled and the position of the doctor | in general practice who provides such services. The announcement is well-advised as it contains j i j reassurance for the doubtful that doctors are in no | way endeavoring to skirt around M-8-A with extra charges, and at the same time it cautions members on the procedure that must be followed when extra attention is required, such as that involved by call- ing in a specialist. In explaining their respective positions and em- phasizing their mutual good faith in these positions, the M-S-A and the B.C. division, CMA, have taken a step which is certain to be appreciated by the many in the province who are concerned. keen question can sell coal the other side of| the public preference is for the | py the average family gave way | the world to Japan if it is un-| Republicans, now jeconomic to sell it in our own|¢¥ven split between the parties.|the next step was to painted | Eisenhower personally runs three | metal tubs points ahead of his party but,) the polls profess to show, the trend is in favor of Stevenson ‘eastern Canada?’ THE MOST thrilling sight in! age, says Richard Francis Fitz-| | simamon, petty officer, poured the concrete Manchuria One educationist asks me this How come we}! . & *§ this Rocky Mountain pass is aj coal town, beyond Fernie, where! ),, |two centres stand side by side.)
