THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, November 10, 1968 7] FLAG BIT ON PENSIONS? From Promises To Compromises | By TOM MITCHELL OTTAWA (CP) -- Conflictin; campaign promises could tes the temper of the new minorit Parliament, There could be parallels tc the revamping of some govern: ment proposals under opposition pressure and the subsequent achievement of a broad consen- sus that marked the last minor- ity Parliament. Last session's flag debate was one example, The government's original proposal for a three- leaf flag wound up as a one-leaf design after a long and stormy voyage through a committee and the commons. Something similar could hap- pen this time on old age pen- sions, _ . Liberals attributed election losses in Nova Scotia partly to a campaign pledge by Conserv- ative Leader Diefenbaker of an increase to $100 a month from $75 in the pension now paid to 'everyone at age 70. The New Youglas, who advocates com- lete economic planning, wants 50-per-cent increase in per onal income tax exemption nd a reduction in the interes ate on government housing oans, One Liberal argument for a majority government pas that some unpopular steps would have to be taken after the elec- tion to put checkreins on a gal- loping economy, Just what war planned was not spelled out, Some horse trading might crop up here to get steps accep- |table to the Commons, Blindness From Swap Of Mascara Democrats, who improved their standing in the Commons, ad- vocated $100 a month at 65. ° OUTLINES PLAN Prime Minister Pearson dur- ing the campaign outlined a pro- posal to increase the pension only for those in need under a co-operative plan with the prov- inces, The extra payment would be contingent on a form of means test. New Democrat Leader Doug- las says anadians want higher Pensions and Parliament must tackle this as soon as possible. Real Caouette's Creditistes, fourth largest group in the Com- mons, also want the payment at $100 a month. All this adds up to heavy Pension pressure on the govern- ment. Mr. Douglas made protection of the consumer from mislead- ing advertising, dishonest prac- tices and shoddy goods a prime plank in his party's platform and put this on his list of prior- ity issues for the next session. He and Mr, Diefenbaker both advocated steps against exor- bitant interest rates and the Conservative leader proposed a consumer loan plan similar to that for government loans for farm improvement, MAY BRING PLANS This area was virtually un- touched by the Liberals during the campaign but opposition Pressure might generate some proposals, The Liberal promise of a medical care insurance plan got endorsement in principle from the Consdervatives and New Democrats. But there could be} pressure for changes in the pro- posal the government has al- ready placed before the prov- inces. | That was for federal payment! of $14 for each provincial resi-| dent, estimated to be half the cost of providing coverage. The provinces would pay the other} half. Mr. Diefenbaker says that plan was drafted without suffi- cient study of costs and needs and was tossed to the provinces on a_take-it-or-leave-it basis. Mr. Douglas is. flatly against any participation by private in- surance carriers or anything less than a plan that covers every Canadian. The Liberals have indicated they think a plan covering about 90 per cent of the popula- tion, perhaps with some non- government participation, would be acceptable. AGREE ON AID There is general agreemen among the parties on more aid for education, The NDP goes further than the others, calling for immediate free university education, However, steps such as prom- ised by the Liberals for higher grants, a big scholarship pro- gram and federal payments to expand medical and dental re- search and training facilities seem likely to command sup- port. The parties also are close together on the main Liberal agriculture pledges: Steps to improve the Jot of eastern farm ers; a program to ensure feed grain supplies from the Prai- ries for cattlemen in British Columbia and the East; unem- ployment insurance for full-time farm workers. But there will be opposition pressure in the economic and taxation fields. Mr. Diefenbakér plumped for cuts in corporation and per- sonal income taxes and removal of the 11-per-cent federal sales tax on building materials and production machinery.

The disease, an infection of the eyelids caused by a virus- like germ, affects approxi- mately one-sixth of the world's population--mostly in Africa. Dr. Phillips Thygeson of the University of California's Proc- tor Foundation at San Francisco| told about the new-foundation at |San Francisco told about the) new-found cosmetic link with) trachoma in a report to a con-} ference sponsored by research | to prevent Blindness, Inc., a} voluntary health agency. | Among other things, Thyge-| son disclosed a previously un-| reported epidemic of 80 cases} of the ailment occurring in San Jose, Calif., two years ago. The outbreak, he said, was) largely due to interchange among school girls of mascara pencils--employed to give an outline to their eyelashes by drawing a line on the eyelids close to the lashes. | He said also there is evidence that interchange of cosmetic pencils can spread germs of another eye disease called "fol- licular conjunctivitis." A mal- ady, Thygeson said, that rarely causes any permanent eye damage. | LISTEN HERE: | | Gordon Sinclair | ee ae INFORMED..." | Some people disagree with "Sine", not many miss his twice daily assault on injustice, hypocrisy and anything else that comes into the sites of his | news blunderbuss.
