In the past few days have been repeatedly asked what an INDEPEND ENT CONSERVATIVE is Well lets nail it dovm once and for all An INDEPENDENT is naturally person who will VOTE CONSERVAJ TIVE most of the time because he is Conservative but who Will at the same time reserve the right to think for himself and if he feels the partys policy is wrong to CRITICIZE such policy as an INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE do NOT DISAGREE with nearly all that the Frog Cons Party has done while in power DO CRITICIZE THEM however for what they HAVENT DONE in that period particulary during the 195862 period when no otherparty couldpossibly obstruct them My point is this If YOU the electorate are satisfied to continue electing individuals to public office who ALWAYS agree with the Party Policy and who NEVER DISAGREEwhy bother electing anyone to represent you WHY NOT INSTEAD just buy three rubber stamps reading YES NO and MAYBE and have clerk at Ottawa merely stamp every piece of legislation the way the party wishes BECAUSE MAN DISAGREES AT TIMES WITH THE PARTY DOESNT MEAN HE HAS BOLTED THE PARTY Its always possible the PARTY can be wrong sometimes too THINK it has been wrong and the Govern ments procastination in not having ALREADY put plan of SOCIAL SECURITY into effect is case in point DONTY0ll KNGW EITHER DEPENDENT CHILDREN of above or wldows any age Each recclve $7880 per month MARRIED

iS NOT CHARITY IT IS NOT SOME FREE GtMMICKI Nor has it anything to do with WELFARE as we commonly know it and against which am violently opposed unlike our present Unemployment Insurance Fund mess never Instead it is contributory system that is solbsustainiug and pays out more than it receives The benefits paid out to you are sealed to your wages during your working years the more you pay into the fund the more you get back out its that simple For example it your wages had averaged $480000 per year this is the highest amount from which deductions are made yohx would as married cou 1e at age

clllzcna who have made llu mnrk In bualncss or the professionawlll offer lhenuclvu or eicctlon It is easy to condemn the Dleienbaker Government but we the people elected it to power nnd the reason we did so was sound one We wnnled individual enterprise back We knew that tree enlerprise economy could not eonlinue to sustain socialist welfare slnle as the Liberals envisaged we knew it mustdlend to socialism or bankruptcy so the Liberals were ouste The shot of this ottllude is that able men stay out of politics on the field is left largely to secondraters many of whom take up politics not with on deep desire to serve the country but simply no means se fagigrantllzement result this situation is that in Canndo dsproporllonate number of lawyers enter polillcs and there is on entlreiy unwarranted assumption that lawyer is specially uipped by training to take part in government Nothing coud be more tallacious The nature at his work with action circumscribed by precedent mlillaies
