The Huron Expositor, 1963-10-10, Page 5• * • • • • • • • so s 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 Name Winners At Legion Bingo At the Seaforth Legion bingo Saturday evening, specials went, to Mrs. MacDonald, Clinton; Mrs. Alex Muir, Seaforth; and the last special to Mrs. Alex Muir and Mrs. Norman Baird, Brucefield; share the wealth Mrs. Paul McCool and Walter Carpenter, Dublin; door prizes, Mrs. James Barry, Egmondville, and Mrs. Dick, Seaforth.

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.

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. ST. THOMAS' WA •4114 Urg.
