Second World War, read a magazine art- icle about Canada's rapidly ex- panding Air Force and decided to enlist. In 1949 he joined the mer- chant marine, reasoning that soon- er or later he would reach a Can- adian port where he could submit his application to join. It took nearly four years, but in February of this year, less than 24 hours after his ship docked at Halifax, Smith had applied at the Recruit,. ing Unit and soon was accepted in the Air Force. Barney, who is now taking Fighter Control Operator training at the Radar and Communications School, hopes to acquire Canadian citizenship and make a career in the RCAF. ,/ e Altaite �� n this election is o tiSMONEYi / A We will budget for Government's legitimate needs .. we will stop budgeting for bloated surpluses which -- in three years --took from the people's pockets the staggering sum of $1,618,000,000 more than the Government needed.

Currie) described as: "A general breakdown in the system of administration, supervision chis accounting ... Accounting records in a chaotic con- dition and of little use in determining the nature and extent of irregularities ... Waste and inefficiency far more costly in loss than that Covered by actual dishonesty". t4 thi, will, without impairing the efficiency of our Armed Forces, correct the appaliiri inefficiencies in the administration of the Department .off National Defence.

Or, "If they need a gold-plated piano it is our duty to buy it". We will reduce or eliminate countless hidden, indirect taxes which grossly inflate the cost of consumer goods, add to the grievous cost of living, increase the price of homes beyond the capacity of niiost of our people to pay, discourage saving and initiative.
