Addresses Rally ini the Town Hall Claiming that a $60 ceiling on compulsory contributions 10 the recently introduced federal old age pension plan would place a considerable burden on Ihose people in the middle and lower income brackets, Robert R. Knight (CCF-Saskatoon> told some 30 persons attending a C. C. F. rally in the Town Hall here Zaturday evening that this tax. ib be handled properly, should be ý,? on an equitabebss ce should be no ceiling on contflbtions 10 the old age pen- sion plan,*' he stated. "The gox'- ernment should go 10 the people wîth money 10 gel lnoney." Mr. Knight was speaking on behaîf of Spencer W. Cheshire, C.C.F candidate in Durhamn riding. The speaker condemned the daily press for erroneously ce- porting that crown companies in Saskatchewan were "going broke,"' and devoted considerable atten- tion 10 the opeî'ation of the C.C. F. hospital plan in Saskatchewan, automobile insurance, the high cost of living, and the recent elec- lions in Britain. Mr. Knight vis- ited the British Isles receotîxv. According la the speaker, -the little shoe factory in Saskatche- wan thal was supposed to he-e lost so much moneY coulci be put1 in this roomn (Council chamber).' He said the woollen industry would fit in the building proper, and informed bis audience that lasto.year, "'gox'ern ment owned en- terprises in Saskatchewan maclea profit of eight per cent." Due ta C.C.F. activity in Saskatche- wan, private companies are forc- ed 10 lower their rates in ordei 10 meet competition. He men- tioned Saskatchewan telephone rates as "the lowest in Canada' in substantiation. and said a sim- ilar situation existed in the in- surance field. Liberals Against Plan Ontario Liberals are offering a "new" hospital plan to the vol- ers. ' et Libeî'als have bee' against hospitalisation since 1919, Mr. Knight said. "When the C. C.F. put a hospital plan mbt ef- fect in Saskatchewan in 1945, every Liberal voted against,it,'ý according 10 the speaker. He as- serted that if a province is going ta have a "socialized scheme' like hospitalîzation. il is essential Ihat vou have men running il who knom, what hospitalizatioiî is ail about.
