ready been approved by the cab-
iet, but since it had yet to go

work for many people,:' He said

The guest speaker was Charles
A. Best, .of'Georgetown, MP for
Halton, and son of the co -discov-
erer of insulin, Dr. Charles Best.
Mr. Best, in reviewing the ach-
ievements' of the Conservative
Government at Ottawa since it
took office four years ago, askedfor public .support in selling
"your government"
"We must present thisrecord
to .our ,public. I don't think our
public relations from 'Ottawa have
beenas good as they should be."
He touched on the unemployment problem and measures such
as winter works projects and aid
to technical schopls. "Technology
and automation have brought
about a great change in tday's
world. The figures >on . technical
training in Canada arefantastic,"
he said, adding that there are
less than 10,000. Canadians now
.,tudying at technial schools.
He referred to the new agri•
cultural bill, noting that Mr. Card-
iff as parliamentary assistant to
Agriculture Minister Hamilton
had played an important. part in
its introduction.
The bill would assist the :low-
income farm areas and provide
extension to water conservation.
"It will take time to implement
the bill, but it has the potential
to strike at the very roots of our
agricultural problem,"` he said.
Regarding.the-20per cent pen-
sion increase recently made to
disabled veterans, Mr. Best said
the federal government is con-
stantly being criticized for giving
away too much money. "I ask if
you want it to be the way it was
—less old age pension, less aid to
farmers and' so on? We haven't
solved all problems but we are;king legitimate and detailed
steps to the problems which have
been dominant for ` decades. We
have the responsibility for -gov-
ernment; Why did the Liberal
government not bring about many
of the things they are clamoring
about now?"
Mr. Best, a member of` the
House of Commons defence com-
mittee, said -it is not the bailieefeeling of the Canadian people to
maintain complete neutrality,
"We have to maintain a defence
position even on a small basis. Ii
isimportant .that we maintain our
connections with •the United
States and .other countries,"
