"lyr A N Y of my ,

patients do not seem to realise that u they may join ANY j approved friendly so-

ciety, benefit society.

;i or lodge for the new

medical benefit scheme.

Should thev previously î have withdrawn from an ' organisation, it is not

necessary to reaffillate with that, society only.

Nor is It necessary to join within one's own sub-

urb.

t Another point which does X not seem clear Is that

they can receive treatment from any qualified medical

i practitioner within the, ? Commonwealth, and still ' claim reimbursement for

their fees on nroduction of that doctor's receipt.

j Courage

ALMOST unnoticed,

murder has become

commonplace in Vic-

toria.

With the threat, of the hangman's noose removed, killers slav with renewed confidence and audacltv. The Government of this State is In duty bound to 2 protect the la\ -abiding » section of the community.
