The budget of the Minister of Nortberpi Affairs and Na- tional Resources at Ottawa covers a number of departmental branches. Among these are National Parks, Water Re- sources, Forestry, and Northern Administration and Lands. His expenditures involve millions of dollars. Money for ail departments of government cames through the Minister of Finance who gets it largely in taxes from Canadi ans sucli as you. When more -,.îoney is spent than is collected in taxes, government must ý,rrow from you., or eIsc creaie new money. The creation of new money is ane factor that leads ta inflation . which means your dollar buys less and less. The government has been spending more than you have been paying in taxes. To narrow the gap between incarne sud expenditures, new taxes have heen frnposed. The next step should be ta reduce expenditures, or atý Ieast hold the line. Undertaking new cammitmcnts - adding, new welfare or other services - will only make it that much> more difficult ta pay our way. Tell your M.P. at Ottawa that since you are trying ta save, yau expect governmen:ta do the same. You also help when you save more by means af lufe in-. sursuce, savings deposits, sud the purchase of govemament bonds. Your savings help ta create a SOUND dollar; and this, in turn, helps ta create job security for you and more, jobs for other Canadians.
