COWAN, Ralph B. | X | placed by the York Humber Liberal Association. W VOTE .... JUNE 18‘" ‘Cowan has resided in this riding on the banks of the Humber River for 21 years. Cowan did not close down the A. V. Roe plant and subsidiaries in 1959. When You Vote .... Vote Cowan points out that no Conservaâ€" tive Canadian Administration that went a full term of four years has been reâ€"elected by the Canadian people since 1891 â€"â€" seventyâ€"one years ago. Cowan is a sixth generation Canadâ€" ian. His mother and father live in Messines, Que. His brothers and sisters live across Canada from Saskatchewan to Montreal. Cowan has travelled the length and breadth of Canada many, many times. Cowan was one of thirteen men who started the 275â€"bed Northwestern General Hospital, 2175 Keele St. in 1949. He is the only one of the original thirteen still on the Board of Governors. He has been chairman for more than ten years. Cowan secured a grant from the Canâ€" adian Government of Mackenzie King, Liberal, of more than $700,000:00 to start the George Harvey Secondary School in York Township. Cowan will eliminate the Keele St. level crossing at the stock yards by using the overpasses now on Weston Road and Keele St. at Dundas St. ‘ Hospital staffs should be paid like those in the printifig trades, with whom Cowan has worked for forty years. A differential pay scale for night workers, afâ€" ternoon workers and day workers, plus extra consideration for sixth day employees, Sundays and statutory holidays, will attract married nurses back to the profession for which they trained. The civil service should be paid on a differential pay scale basis, the same as now prevails in the Post Office Department. Elect a man who knows what a difâ€" ferential pay scale is and one who has workâ€"ed with such pay scales all his business life. Ralph B. Cowan LIBERAL CANDIDATE YORK HUMBER There has never been a strike nor & lockâ€"out in the firm where Cowan has been employed for thirtyâ€"seven years â€" thirtyâ€" two of those years in a managerial capacity. Cowan would not sell Canadian wheat to Chinese communists who use the new strength their army now has with Diefenâ€" baker wheat in their stomachs, to attack India, still a part of the British Commonâ€" wealth of Nations; and to attack the Chinâ€" ese Government on Formosa, which is reâ€" cognized by Diefenbaker as the true govâ€" ernment of China. Cowan would take credit for the Canadian wheat surplus unâ€" der the Colombo plan and give the wheat to southâ€"east Asia, which will be lost to the west if Communist China shows great strength by pushing India and Formosa around. > Cowan dislikes seeing British, Ausâ€" tralian, New Zealand and United States troops in Thailand, opposing the advance of Chinese communist armies with Canadâ€" ian wheat in their stomachs. Napoleon said: â€" "An army moves on its stomach."* "COWAN"
