Sure you do. So does every Canadian family. Today, it's say to go broke if you're sick . .. even with private insurance plans. The Liberals have promised national health insurance since 1919. They're at it again. And they're bluffing again. The Conservatives now talk health insurance. They know you want it, So they've pulled it out of the election bag. They'll put it back again after the election. You can be sure of this -- the only way you'll get a NATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAM is to support the CCF: COMPLETE HEALTH CARE FOR EVERY CANADIAN WITHOUT WORRY. We are already spending half a billion dollars a year on sickness, We can get BETTER VALUE for the SAME MONEY with @ National Health Plan. What About Tax? Clipped again by the Liberal's rich man's budget? Suppose you earn $3,000 a year and have a wife and two ehilgren. our saving with the new budget is a few cents a week. But if you earned $100,000, you save nearly $100.00 a week | "Them what has, gits!" That's the way it is with both Liberals AND Conservatives. Don't forget it! The CCF says: Cut taxes on Low incomes. Jack up taxes on high incomes. Put on an excess profits tax. IN SHORT, GET THE MONEY WHERE THE MONEY IS. ™ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, July 18, 1958 9 You Need a Home? Maybe you are one of over 500,000 Canadians who do. You are tired of Liberal promises about houses. They've been in power for 20 years. Why haven't they delivered? You can be sure of this -- the only way you are going to get J a house you can afford is. . . 1. Cut the interest rate to 2% 2. Cut the down payment to 10%. 3. Extend the pay-off period to 30 years. 4. Buy land without big profits to speculators. ONLY THE CCF PROGRAM CALLS FOR ALL 4 POINTS, CHECK THE LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE PROGRAMS, THEY DON'T. THEY'RE JUST BLUFFING YOU. You need an adequate Pension? How would you like to get along on $40 a month? That's what the Liberals and Conservatives expect our pensioners to do. It can't be done at today's prices. Many pensioners are living in miserable circumstances. Can we afford to pay them more? The pension was $40 in 1949. Today we are producing 50% more than in 1949. We can afford to pay 50% mere. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE CCF WANTS TO DO . . - RAISE THE'PENSION TO $60. How about the Old Parties ? The Conservatives accuse the Liberals of graft and corruption. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. The CCF believes that the 'dog-eat-dog, devil-take-the- hindmost" philosophy of the old parties is wrong, dishonest and against all religious teaching. Liberal and Conservative parties are controlled by campaign funds from their big-money friends. They can't serve your interests. The CCF is the only party free to carry out its election program .. . a program decided, point by point, in democratic conventions every year. SO... HOW ABOUT GETTING OFF THOSE OLD CRUTCHES? STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET WITH THE CCF. ; ; ; Yes, It's Time For a Change... The CCF was the first to fight for . . . Old Age Pensions, Family Allowances, Unemployment Insurance . . . and every other important social measure Canadians enjoy today. The only way you can be sure of forward-looking legislation for the benelit of all the people is by electing CCF candidates. Let's 3 both the Liberal and Conservative crutches.
