OLIVER HODGES Medicare No. Priority "A definite swing away from the previous member of parlia- ment and toward the N.D.P. Candidate" is the way the poli- tical situation appeared to those present at a meeting held in the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ruddy of Ajax recently, according to NDP Candidate Oliver Hodges. He was present with Larry De- chenes, President of the Whitby NDP Riding Assoc. In reply to questions, Mr. Hodges said that the No. 1 pri- ority item that would be dealt with by an NDP government would be the implementing of full and complete medical care that would provide for all me- dical, dental, optical and sur- gical treatment, together with glasses, orthopedic appliances and coniplete hospital care. By 1971 the cost of continu- ing our present system with its limitations and inadequacies will be $178. per person. For an additional $20. per: person the Hall Royal Commission on Health Services estimates that it will be possible to finance the universal and comprehensive services which they recommend. If we_continue with _our pre- sent range of services, by 1971 we will be devoting 5.5% of the Gross National Expenditure measured in current dollars. But when we implement the propos- ed program, we will be spend- ing 6.1% of the Gross National Expenditure, or a difference of about one-half of a" percentage point. The Hall Commission is con- vinced that our expanding econ- omy will permit us to devote this amount to health services in 1971, and more in the future without in any way affecting our ability to acquire other goods and services to build a stronger economy and to achieve a high- er standard of living, Mr. Hod- ges told the meeting. He also said that the pensions for our older citizens would be JUNIOR FARMERS (Continued) clude the annual public speak- ing competition, in which the contestants will be required to - deliver both prepard and im- promptu speeches.

He said that it was shameful that two and a half million Canadians would not" benefit from the Canadian Pension Plan. These are the people whose pensions must immedi- ately be raised to $100. a month. The New Democratic Party moved a motion in the last par- liament to give effect to this proposal but it was voted down by both the Liberal and Con- servative parties, Mr. Hodges said. ) Large Attendance At Reception For Dr., Mrs. C.
