The inconsistency of the cor stand is quite evident: Vote. against debt reduc- tion which makes.increased welfare pay-- ments possible and then tell everyone you voted for a budget because it included in- creased welfare payments. Help the: Improvident.... .-eWith Our Tax Money. . A CCF government in B.C. will intro- duce a comprehensive provincial health insurance scheme, based on the philosophy that the needs of the patient are para- mount. : ‘Those are the words of CCF leader Strachan, speaking at a nominating . con- vention in Penticton. This scheme will, he said: Cover every citizen in the province. Be administered by a body respon: sible to the legislature. Preserve the present doctor-patient relationship and retain the right of the patient to choose his own doctor. Treat the medical profession fairly. > Not allow any third party, such as a private’ insurance ‘company, to ‘make’ a financial profit out of. the human misery caused by ill health.

Mr. Strachan and : his _cradle-to-the-grave - self appointed guardians of the public welfare that prac- tically everybody in the province is already‘ covered by one private, health scheme or another. Tf isn’t sufficient for him to organize a limited scheme in which those people who - are ineligible for group insurance plans may participate if they ‘wish, He wants to suck us all in, whether we like his scheme or whether we don’t. He doesn’t believe that, in a day of highest-ever personal incomes we .cari be Raise Gas, Remove Tolls. Hardly a Pepular idea -. An editorial carried recently in. the Vancouver Sun is not likely to be received with’ much enthusiasm by those people out- side the metropolitan area, and with even less enthusiasm the further such B.C. re- sidents'are removed from the coast. In short, the Sun editorial suggested ‘that B.C. could be toll-free for less than one cent per gallon increase in the pro- vincial gasoline tax, arguing, “what sense does it make, really, that the free public highway should arbitrarily cease to be free because it crosses a river or inlet.” The editorial points out that “it will be argued that these crossings, built at. great cost, principally’ benefit local traffic. Therefore, it will be said, they shouldn’t be.a charge on British Columbians at large.” It is then contended that if this argu- ment, stood up, a lot of stretches of now free .public highways should have toll gates. on them too. To support this the Hope-Princeton Highway was-used as an example, with’ ue claim being made that the high of ‘benefit to Trisiness and-'residents of the southern interior, overlooking the fact that " prosperity *the province has ever. known, doctor's, bill! . trusted to make our own ciingements for a rainy day. He doesn’t believe that we're cap: able of organizing our own health insur- ance coverage if we. feel like it. He isn’t impréssed with ‘the already wore than adequate provision that this “province makes for its temporary and per-~ manent indigents, - He isn’t satisfied’ that the medical profession does its best for everyone, whether they pay or whether they. don’t. He -doesn’t believe there’s a place for de- dication in B.C. any more. . Man, what an election. this ‘is going to be! Here we are enjoying the greatest “THE OLD HOME TOWN Joe! ~-1He Won is Sar ARGON!
