stated The programprovides insurance funds ofunlimited duration for unemployment sickness old age and widows Treatment is not absolutely free of charge however Each prescription is one shilling dental treatment surgicalappliances and eye glasses arepurchased for about half price All of these are partial charges and are less than 10 per cent of the cost of service The National Health Service program was presented by theLabor Party in 1946 as a solution to the inadequate private healthsystem according to Mr Marquand The old health insurance program covered approximately 16 million people individuals firms and government officials Benefits from the various groups varied according to themembership and the number of casualties per year Wives and children of members were not covered and insurance was available only to families with under 2000 a year income Hospitals differed widely in their facilities according to the area in which they are located The only voluntary hospitals were the teaching and cottage hospitals those paid for by privatesubscription and after the war by government funds Mr Marquand said that the present program has succeeded in equalizing health facilities

lounge Wilder as well asnaming IAC members The Health Service also plans special services such as lectures on health special housing and care for tuberculosis patients andspecial institutions for the mentally deficient A major problem facing the Health Service is expenses the original estimate of the services costs were greatly underestimated Taxes supply five hundred million pounds a year the public health fund supplies 40 million pounds a year and there is a small income raised by the hospitals themselves from their gardens or rentedcottages Despite this expense MrMarquand emphasized that neither party had any intention ofrepealing the Health Serviceprogram Mr Marquand appeared at the College under the MullenbachLectureship which began in 1955 This lectureship brings to campus a speaker of humanitarian interest in the fields of social racial orinternational relations CRD States Policy No Specific Goals Consolidated Relief Drivesteering committee has announced three policy changes for this years fundraising campaign In contrast with previous years CRD will not set a goal either for the entire drive or for individualcontributions In addition students this year may earmark their donations for a specific organization Thisprovision is made for anyonewishing to give to charities other than those which CRD selects to receive money from its general fund The student body will vote as in the past on charities they want to have included in the group The final policy change will be to encourage campusorganizations to raise money for a charity of their choice All such activities must be cleared with CRD inorder to coordinate dates CRD committee member Dave Glick commented that the groups decision not to have a goal this year reflects the philosophy that If you feel a concern thatcannot be limited it is meaningless to set a limited goal He pointed out that in the case of raising funds for a building or a project which requires a specific amount of money there is justification in aiming for a particular amount forW Football Mixers Open Houses Highlight Tomorrows Program By JULIE MACFIE An estimated 450 parents will attend the football game open houses
