BATTLE OF THE PENSIONS
By RAY ARGYLE
The battle now raging over
the Canada Pension Plan is a
struggle between' the private
and public authorities in the
The $10 in-
crease in the
flat old age
pension w a s
the first busi-
ness to be
field of person-
al security. It
is, in effect,
the same kind
of contest we
have seen On
medicare.
dealt with when RAY ARGYLE
Parliament re-
sumed last week. It is to be
financed by increasing the
personal income tax rate for
pensions from three to four per
cent., with the maximum an-
nual tax going from $90. to $120
for top wage-earners.
No one will begrudge our
pensioners their new rate of
$75 per month. But it is be-
coming increasingly obvious
that Canada will never provide
its aged with a decent living
standard by financing pensions
out. of taxes.
That is why Health Minister
Judy LaMarsh has been given
the job of creating a federally-
, sponsored, contributory pension
program which will supplement
the fiat rate old age pension.
It is needed because the
great majority of Canadians do
not have access to company
pension plans where they work,
and because insurance com-
panies will never be able to
provide adequate pensions for
low wage earners.
Those who already have com-
pany pension plans will not be
affected by the Canadian Pen-
sion Plan, which will be financ-
ed by' contributions of one per
cent of an individual's earn-
ings up to $4,000, and a like

amount from their employer.
Existing private pima can eith,
er be reduced by this amount,
or can be left as tliey are with
the federal plan being- taken
on in addition.
Canadians now realize our
record in providing security for
our aged is the worst in the
western world. Europe and the
'United States have been doing
a better job for years. And
Canada --with six persons in
the work force for every one
of pensionable age -is in an
ideal position to finance ade-
,quate old age security.
It is inevitable that the Can-
ada Pension Plan will affect
the business of private insur-
ance clompanies. It also will in-
crease the cost of operation of
companies which do not now
have pension plans. Further, it
will withdraw via forced sav-
ings some two per cent of cur-
rent purchasing power, to be
fed out later in combined flat
rate and contributory pensions
of up to $118 monthly at 65 or
up to $175 monthly at 70.
But this is the price that this
generation is going to have to
pay to lift the terror of in-
security and penury that faces
too many of Canada's elderly
today.
The future of the Canada
Pension Plan still rests on a
number of unknown factors.
The withdrawal of Quebec on
constitutional grounds leaves
Ontario as the key to the
scheme. Premier John Robarts
has already designed a provin-
cial plan which would be left
entirely in the hands of insur-
ance companies.
Canadians should insist that
Ontario and Ottawa bridge their
differences so as to make a fed-
eral plan feasible.
Miss LaMarsh has not made
this any easier by her trucu-
lent partisan' attitude, particu-
larly her intrusion -with disas-
trous results -into the Ontario
provincial election.
Prime Minister Pearson now
concedes the practicality of a
parliamentary inquiry into the
details of the plan. Parliament
should continue to target for
putting this epic piece of so-
cial legislation into effect as
soon .as possible. But not at
the expense of reasonable de-
bate and inquiry into its de-
tails.
LEGION CORNER
By JACK HOLLAND
Well, comrades and friends,
the fall season is well under
way with, our first general meet-
ing over land the next one com-
ing up Thursday night, Oct. 10.
* * *
It has been a busy summer
season, with sports, two golf
tournaments, a picnic for the
kids, the provincial convention
at Peterboro, and the bingos
are in full swing, and we have
had our first social of the fall
season, which was most suc-
cessful; so, all in all, there has
been considerable activity Le-
gionwise during the past few
months.
* * *
The Branch has already made
a donation on their pledge of
$5,000.00 toward the new hos-
pital, and there will be mq,re
of these as our fall and winfer
program gets under way. $0,
Comrades, all, let's get behind
this project and meet our
pledge as soon as possible.
* ' *
This is about all for the pres-
ent. Keep Thursday night open
for the general meeting, and
by the way, on Decoration Sun-
day, 75 graves of veterans were
decorated by Comrades from
the Branch, so in closing, a
thought for those who lie here
and in foreign lands: "At the
going down, of the sun, and in
the morning, we will remem-
ber them,"

TIMELY TIPS
Before baking, potatoes, rub
the skin with butter. Potatoes
done this way have a tender
and extra flavorful skin, says
Food Experts at Macdonald In-
stitute, Guelph.
Don't make the mistake of
waiting until cooked meat is
cold before refrigerating. Re-
frigerate such foods as soon af-
ter the meal as possible, say
food experts at Macdonald In-
stitute, Guelph. This refrigera-
tion is necessary, as bacteria,
which causes food poisoning,
multiply quickly at room tem-
perature.
