mittees; to understand changes

93 greups with some 6,000 boy
memberships. He also said that
a complete new concept for

special down there to shOW him. I even put my two paws, around
one of his legs and tried to haul him across the road, byt he is
a bit on the heavy side for me to transport.
One day„ he said,. trVes, if 1.-had one of those gyronlanes, I
nould fly overhead and see what you have down there. HUt I'm not
going down, that deep snow to please any Pussy," Then he
s added; "Many A. time wished I had something like that WO.
plane Mr, Caney wrote about when 1'141004 cows down by the
xtver, on the farm" I've never -been on a farm. I'm a town Cat,
What is A cow?
Maybe if I watch that .queer 'box in the corner called a T,V.
I'll find out, I • don't like it much, bet one evening I heard my
cousin.the cougar growl, I got down off my chair and walked
over to that box and sat watching him, all ready to greet him
affectionately and have a playa- but he .disappeared instead
of coming out. •
They .didn't have people corning into that square box for a
week. "Too much hot air from Ottawa!" Carl said when the Man
came to take it away. Lucy said, "POor Mr, Pearson! He go
away for a much-needed rest in a warmer climate, and ins
parliamentary boys get all out :of line the minute his back is
turned!"
Limy, is glad Mr. Sharp gadre up personal electioneering in
the Liberal Leadership race, for the time being, to look after
the financial. affairs of the country, "That should be a. feather
in his cap," she. says, "Keep: the home fires burning! Never
let the old dollar fall!"
Lucy doesn't think much of comptllsory medicare, either.
She says the country is not ready for it financially. And we'll
find ourselves in the . same boat as Great Britain. She was
saddled with huge war debts and was not ready for such ex.
tensive services as were initiated. Look what recently happened
to the pound sterling!
She heard a man in that box .say that extensive Social Services
inauggrate0 in Britain. in 1948' have doubled every seven years,
Ontario ..Hospital services have! doubled every seven and a half
years; . and those in the United States every five and a half years.
She is showing people an advertisement from the London Free
Press; "We, Ignaz •Kreppenhofer and Herman Fratschko, would
not - have left Austria for Canada' sixteen years ago if we had
wanted socialism such as universal medicare,
If Medicare is made compulsory in Canada, we think that we
will have lost a major freedom of choice. We like to work hard
and want to get the rewards for:it.
We consider the laW is.beineehovecl down our throats whether
the country wants it or not A proof of this is that the provinces
say they do not want it. We, and the rest of the workers in our
steel fabricating business have a satisfactory health plan now
and we don't want the government to. "help" us with our own
money. We are writing to the Prime Minister and sending him
a copy of this ad, Maybe you will do this too,"
As a young strong healthy cat, I agree with the advertisers,
I look after my own health requirements. I eat for health, like
the Chinese. And I can tell you I did not like Carl taking me up
to the Town Hall last summer to get a needle in an anti-rabies
campaign by the Ontario Department of Health,
I remain,
Sandi, the Cat.
