Barrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Bayflcld Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager THURSDAY MARCH ma Pu Fallacy Of Socialism Comes From Idea Oi In recent public opinion poll there was surprising lack ofknowledge as to what socialism stands for Its very sim ple It means the state or government runs everything Of course its all done for your own good The men you elect are presumably sound thinkers who plan ev erything for the welfare of the nation It is all vervaell in theory hardly so in practice There is fallacy in socialism in the theory that the state can provide welfare and other benefits without charge Itls frightening to know that some segments of the Canadian population can be sold on this theory Nothing comes free from any government You pay for it ourself The promisemakers of social ism continually spout on their platforms of taxing the big car orations and the big people to raise money Factis there are not enough of them to milk and most com anies in Canada are owned by the soca led little people with their investments in stocks and bonds Lets get down to facts Between 1950 and 1980 the govern ment transfer of payments to persons at the federal leve money collected by taxation and then paid out for welfare and social security more than tripled from $1030 million to $3116 million No one escaped the bill for that increased spending It had to be paid for out of production of goods and services in this country It directly raised prices through taxation and indirectly through inflation Added to the cost of everything pre sented to us as free by the govern ment must be the cost of collecting transferring and distributing In speech to the annual meeting of the Alberta Chamber of Commerce Pre mier Manning pointed to the fact that one of the great tasks of our day is to educate the Canadian people to the fact that they pay and pay dearly for whatever is provided by government at all levels He raised the question as to whether or not people would actually Free Giving ask for or support existing services if they knew what they cost Taxation is one of the great burdens of our day At the present time taxes at all levels of government amount to about onethird of the net national income and as one observer has put it We are now only 85 per cent frée in the area of spending what we earn All this is not many that we oppose the principle of social welfare ere must however be acareful distinction drawn between what is socially desirable as anultimate aim and what can be ach ieved without damaging the system that makes our social welfare advances pos sible Any additions to the already exten sive welfare programs should be careful ly assessed not only with regard to their additional cost but also with regard to their foreseeable growth and supplemen tary requirements over the years Con tinuing demands for services from the state can be selfdefeating if in the pro cess we so raise our costs of production because of high taxes that we are unable to market our goods at home and abroad in face of competition from other coun tries In free society the individual has the primary responsibility to make prov ision for his own future and the future of his family and rovlde protection against ordinary hazard In the field of health and health services financial assistance by governments should be directed only to the areas in which the expense is clelarly beyond the means of the individ ua Above everything else the great dang¥ er of looking to government for services of any kind is the erosion of that sturdy independence uponwhich this country was uiltlf Canadians believe that the can turn to government in every difficu ty then the springs of initiative and self reliance run dry Future progress and development depends in large measure upon recognition of responsible and re sourceful individuals operating under the competitive enterprise system Other Editors Views PRESS AND POLITICIANS Peterborough Examiner The press we think is sometimes in ordinately feared by politicians and it is because the tendency today is to think more about ones public relations than ones manifest duty There is not strong tradition of dutyfirst in Canada and it needs strengthening occasionally In the meantime the card nal rule for newspap er correspondents when in public or in print is courtesy RELIEVE DRINKERS OF IRRITATIONS Owen Sound SunTimes The Ontario Government and the Liqu or Control Board have happy faculty of eliminating irritations created within their liquor business with the exception of such irritations as being killed by drinking drivers assaulted by drinkdrug ged men and the innumerable other similar annoyances For some time now One of the very few remaining control measures that of requiring permit to secure liquor has proven an irritation Those little $1 per mits meant revenue of $1300000 an nually one profit from the trade which cannot be directly written off by less definite but more widely felt factors on the debit side The irritation using Premier Robsrts word is to be wiped out although the government assures that the profit from it Will not be lost though it will be col lected in less irritating manner It seems that the recent Ontario sales tax has also aroused resentment among liquor pur chasers They dont like the odd cents change it means Those extra pennies change are also resented in many other purchasmg zones But Mr Robarts has it all solved or whoever does the think ing in such matters The licence irrita tion is removed The change making ntation is removed And it is all done by raising the price of the liquor bit Queens Park attitude toward the prob fem of alcoholic beverages is not to be an The Barrie

suggesting the federal government enact sweepin moderniza tion of the Lords Day Act to be wel comed and applauded Up to the present suggestions for changes have come from many quarters but never has the Alliance suggested re laxation of the present iatvs It has pre viously maintained the Act should be maintained in manner more reminis cent of horse and buggy days The Alliance suggestions involved many areas of the Actincluding Sunday advertising on radio and televisionbut the most interesting for many people will be ihe one recommending an undating of the Itaw in relation to sport and entertain men This is undoubtedly the area which has been the most abused over the years the one which has created the most friction between proponents and opponents of the Act in its present form and also the one which has led to discrimination specially in sport The Act has also led to hypocrisy For example isnt it hypocritical to sell tickets on Saturday or any other day of the week for Sunday event in sport or entertainment Likewise there is hypocrisy in law which permits the playing of such gam es as golf tennis curling and so on where an admission fee is often charged for participating or watchingbut bans such other things as baseball hockey theatres Modernization of the Act has already taken place in number of centres as the result of local votes and it is high time this relaxation be implemented for all of Canada MUSICAL PIPES London Daily Mail telephone subscriber complained that his phone rang constantly but there was nobody on the line Finally he dis covered that the ringing

for cyste co pic examination Another recommended kidney Xray which he called an lutrpvenoua pyelogrnm What is your opin loniG Im sure that either would be useful and blood In the urine always should be investigated if you find it in microscopic quantities thats fine because youre catching the trouble whatever it is earlier than you would if you could see the blood My opinion is that the cysto scopic examination gives more detailed information since It permits visual observation of the wallof the bladder and allows urine to be collected from each kidney separately helping to determine the exact source of bleeding Then dye is inserted and xrays taken giving the some data as the intravenous pyelogram NOTE To IA This mdg look might well occur when person has some form of epi lepsy The

Party Leader Enjoys Geod Wishes By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWAOur two party parliamentary system gives no official honor to the leader of any third party as Mr Herridgo learned to his regret when he was recently elected leader of the CCFNDP alght man group in our House of Commons When an MP assumu the po sition of leader of the majority party he makes ceremonial visit to Government House where he Is officially sworn in as prime minister of Canada When an MP becomes leader of the second party in our House of Commons he is allotted the seat in the Chamber immedi ater opposite the prima min ister and goes on the public payroll as leader of the oili cial opposition to the govern ment at salary matching that of cabinet minister But the accolade greeting Bert Herrldga In his new eminence came neither from the governor general nor from the public treasury gentle man traveling in gentlemans milllnery entered his office and announced that Mr Herridgea new sutus demanded that he now wear custommade shirts for which he would be glad to take Mr Herridges order at $1950 per plus small extra charge for personal mono gram embroidercd on the left breast which would afford that additional aristocrch touch so typical of the blue shirted workers and bejeaiied farmers Herridges followers Apart from that thrustful and rebuffed emissary of com merce Bert Herrldge has en Joyed welcome and

the privilege whereby anyone may write letter to an MP and have it carried free so long as it is addressed to the House of Commons and during the par liamentary session 00 BACK YEAR Bert Herrldges interest In politics has been lifelong his record of office holding dates back at least 30 years for in 1932 he was elected vicepresi dent of the 30 Liberal Associ ation which was as far to the left as he could find hive at that time Three years later with the forming of the CCF he offered himself as candi date for the federal Parliament under that new banner He was twice defeated but meanwhile won election to the BC legisla ture before finally winning the federal seat of Kootenay Wesl if 1915 which he has held ever co Now have reached the some of my political career and say this in all humility he told me with misohievious twinkle in his eye But is like sitting on glacier which is suffering the eroding effect of the strong sun every day My eclipse will come with the end of this Parliament By which he implied that the national leader of the NDP Tommy Douglas will win seat in the election and assume his right ful place as leader of the NDP in the House of Commons meanwhile under president Herridge the CCFNDP group ln Parliament is happy united and cooperative as they never were under the selfish and un all accross Canada particularly masteiful leadership of Hazen nap
