J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, July 22, 1953 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS "Explain C To Rotarians The Whitby Rotary Club gave an audience to Wesley Power, the CCF candidate for this riding in the general election, the second candi- date to appear before the club in recent weeks. Mr. Power, a mem- b = of the Oshawa City Council, o! 'lined me Moy ant the future Pros; Jspeots A nia De ition to the club, Mr. Power expressed his pleasure at the invitation to ap- pear before the club, He began by recalling the past performance of the CCF since its birth in 1832, This record, he said, was not very well known because the party had no press of its own and is a politi- cal party with limited finances de- pendant for campaign funds upon collections from supporters of the party. He turned then to the plat- forms of the-Liberal and Progres- sive Conservative parties and their promises of social legislation. This social legislation, such as pengions for the aged, family allowafces, mothers' allowances and pensions for the hlind, said Mr, Fowler, were not introduced because of | government policy but because | public opinion had demanded these social reforms. He then outlined some examples of legislation which, he said, had come into being because of the work of the CCF group at Ottawa, On the list, he said, was unem- ployment insurance, which, he said, was carried to the floor of the house as ey as 1922 by the late Rev. J. 8. Woodsworth, found- er of the CCF. Later, in 1933, he said, the CCF called for a labor code which would include unem- ployment insurance but it was not until 1940, following constant pres- sure by the CCF, said Mr. Power, that unempl ent insurance leg- islation was introduced. RECENT LEGISLATION wy this year, said Mr. Power, government had introduced sickness insurance in conjunction h unemployment insurance. In 1983, he said, the CCF party had introduced this Jugestion in its first lation of ile My 1088, he s Angus ny for i Tot. Ye ed the matter again. But, said Mr. Paver it was not until this year' that government had yielded a had introduced such legisla- + early as 1929, said Mr. Pow- the CCF party founder, Mr. Woodsworth, had asked that fam- ily allowances be at least studied by a House of Commons commit- tee. But, he added, it was 15 years later, in 1944, that the family al- lowances had been introduced. Likewise, he said, the founders of i arty had in troduced the mr sy pelisions for the aged, in 1926, while W. L. M. King Fo dREe minister. PLANS "Then Mr. Power outlined the CCF plans for the future. First, he said, the CCF party was of the opinion that a national health plan should be introduced immediately. Such a plan, he said, had been Jiomised by the Liberal party in 919 and had been "used «as bait in every election since that time'. He said that Mr. St. Laurent had stated that he was in favor of a national health plan but not at the sent time. He explained that . St. Laurent had claimed that # would be unfair to exact prem- ENGAGEMENTS The enagement is announced of Helen Rileen, daughter of Mrs.. Ashby, and the late Mr. J. H.

PHONE 703 / ice which cannot be given b of the lack of hospital accommo- dation. Then, he asked, what is'the Liberal party doing to correct that situation? He cited that the City of Oshawa was to build a 131-bed addition to the General Hospital in Oshawa at & cost of more than $2,000,000, The grant from the fed- eral government for this project, he said, was $130,000 which, he claimed, works out at .07 cents for every dollar to be spent. Mr. Power reported that a select committee named by the legisla- ture in Nova Scotia, had just com- pleted a report on the hospital situ- ation in that province and had stated that it would take the prov- ince ten years to get accommoda- tion ol to that provided in Sas- kachewan. He claimed that when the CCF party was elected in Sas- katchewan in 1944 there were hos- pital beds available there at the ratio of 3.5 per thousand residents. Now, he said, there were beds | available in the ratio of 7.5 per thousand. Mr. St. Laurent, he said, was using this shortage of hospital ac- commodation as an argument against national health plans and in this he was Supperisd by Prem- jer Frost of Ontario. Yet, he said, Mr. Drew, the leader of the na- tional Conservative party, was promising a health pian with the co - operation of the provinces. "How far does he think he will proceed in that effort," asked Mr. Power, "when the Premier of On- tario says that the present time is not opportune for a National Health Program?" GETS CCF SUPPORT "We believe," said Mr. Power, "that a national health program should be introduced immediately {for if it is fair for the Blue Cross {and other hospital organizations to accept premiums from the people of this community for an inade- uate service, it is surely fair for the: federal government to do the A ig to the field of educa- tion, Mr. Power stated that Mr. Drew, prior to his election in On- tario in 1943, had promised 50 per cent of the education cocts of the rovince. Yet, he said, the City of shawa only received 21% per cent last year and the City of 4 ronto had received only 19 cent. He claimed also that the OOF arty felt that there was a national uty for housing and stated that only 51 per cent of the urban of industrial residents earned less than $2,500 annually and in rural areas, he said, there were 71 per cent of the population who earned less than figure, Thus, he said, there were 71 per cent of the popu- lation who earned less than this 'figure. Thus, he said, they were unable to afford a 10 per cent down payment. He said that he also believed that a national pen- sion should be the right of every person at the age of 60 or 65. He maintained that the present sys- tem of industrial pensions forced a man to lose his pension rights if he severed connections with his employer. Therefore, he said, there should be a national pension plan which would enable men to carry their pension plans wherever they worked. Such a plan, he said, sould be applied to small business people, the farmer, t Jrice w er and those working in ustry. A ate of thanks was proposed by Charles Thomas, of the Whitby | Club, and was extended by Fran- ois 4. McIntyre, president of the club.
