Let's Continue Good Government VOTE HANNA • Ill HURON -BRUCE "A high standard of morality will accrue to the nation which sets for itself the goal of human betterment of its people. The task of raising living standards and promoting general welfare is challenging and essential." —from the Budget speech of Premier Frost, March, 1951. in ntario The Progressive Conservative administration collies to the people with an unsurpassed record of eight consecutive surpluses. The finances of Ontario are strong, the Government in 1950 and 1 )51 was enabled in fact to reduce taxes—a record in Canada at this time. This Government's record is no sale,: taxes, no nuisance taxes and the lowest Provincial taxation in Canada, It is a record of ,accomplish- ments not promises. Here are only a few Ontario has fostered good relations with all Governments of Canada—Federal and Provincial. Ontario is the only province in the Commonwealth to abolish discrimination in employment on grounds of race, colour or creed. Ontario leads in capital grants for hospitals and in maintenance grants for public ward beds and ill assistance for out-patient clinics. What is being done elsewhere in the world is constantly under study, and the best is being s.elected.. Ontario will next year extend pensions to totally disabled persons from 18 to 65— the first province in Canada to take this step. Despite the shortages of materials very great advances have been made in our highway system, especially in Huron-Bruce through the constant endeavour of John W. :Hanna. Ontario laws passed this year provide that women shall receive equal pay for equal work. Free school books have been given this year to the children of the primary schools for -the first time in history. Equality of opportunity in education is a reality. Hydro resources in the last five years have been doubled, taking city comforts to rural Ontario; helps take drudgery out of farm homes. There is no Substitute for Experience - Nov. 22nd VOTE John W.
