"" P-t To tba political and economic reactionary, Social Security is something to be used as a bribe to win votes - a sop to soothe unrsst. Social makeshift: of tbat kind are anally oFed today a political substitutes for sound, economic planning for the post-war reconstruction of Canada. To the State Socialist, on the other hand, Social Security is a bookish theory seeking to prove that poverty would be much more endurable if only it were much more general. Real Social Security Rutioned Scarcity , And now, listen for a moment to John Bracken, the forthright leader of the Progressive Conservative Party:-- "The State here in Canada, unlike in Germany, is the servant of the people, not its master. Finance, and economic mechanism associated with it, must likewise be regarded as the servants, not the masters, of our economy. The under- writing of proximity AND social security is a proper function of the State." We are determined that Social Security shall no longer be regarded as a charity but as what it ir-t social obligation and national responsibility of the very fimt magnitude and import- ance. Social Security must grow with prosperity-because the degree to which social services may be provided is deter- mined by the size of the national income. We are pledged to maintain that income at a high prosperous level. It is against this background of plenty for all, that the Progressive Conservatives see Social Security. Notice how closely prosperity and social security are linked together.

A friendly social evening of Liberal workers and interested friends and neighbors was held here recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pirie. Harry Parkes nnd George Lund, prominent Liberals of this part of North York were among those present. The strong community spirit of this growing district was evident in the range of local problems discussed by those present. New residents of the area along with the older ones took ad- vantage of the opportunity to meet the candidates in the rapidly approaching election. Rival Political Parties Watch Each Other. Car drivers at a Liberal meeting at Newmarket the other night found that during the meeting Con. servative literature had been nt- tached to their Windshields. An attempt to show that there are two sides (or is it three sides this time) to a question. A local Liberal gathering was held recently next to the home of a prominent member of a rival party. The neighbor was of course anxious to see how many and perhaps who attended. It was of course noted that he was watching. The debate was weather the guests should be directed to the back door which was around a corner and out of sight, or whether the guests should march out the back door and in at the front several times, the gathering dusk making this possible. The cu- rious watcher does not yet know which idea was decided on. Memorial Home & School Holds Annual Meeting Mr. W. S.
