Clinton News-Record, 1967-07-27, Page 2/ I f i 2 Clinton News-Record, Thursday* July 21, 1907 Editorials.t • EVEN LABOR PROTESTS groupds—even on moral grounds,. What is in doubt is whether we in Britain will ever give medicine the priority given to it in some other countries so long as it is financed almost wholly out of taxation ,,. It can be contended that, judged from the standpoint of the quality and efficiency and the adequacy of the services, wte are now getting the worst of both worlds. The Govern ment cannot find the money out of taxation and the citizen is not al- Nineteen years ago Britain in troduced the world’s first free (that is, paid for out of taxation) national health service. Uhe other programs within the welfare state, it was uni versal in application, a piece of the structure that was to secure the well-being of every citizen from cradle to grave. Nineteen years later, however, it turns out that this woll-being has not, in fact, been secured. A Labor that one ^million children are living lowed to pay it out of his own pochet in poverty. Medical standards are falling, hospitals are out-dated, understaffed, ill-equipped.-The uni versal old-age pension has been raised, but so slightly—because the raise must go to all—that those in need are still without enough. A belief is beginning to develop that universality in welfare pro grams militates against those who need them. It maintains them at subsistence level, while the gap be tween them and the affluent grows. The solution, say many in Britain, • is to abandon universality and give the help where help is needed. Curiously enough, the chief pro ponents of this Socialist heresy are Socialists. In Monday’s Globe and Mail on Page Seven the views of three professors wlho for years have * helped the Labor Party shape its social policy were discussed. They found it immoral that families in real need got too little while univer sality provided others with money to spend on “bunny clufjs and gam bling saloons.” They held that the system of universality ensures poverty in the midst of plenty, in stead of removing it. But perhaps the most striking expression of Labor opinion came in a paper recently produced, under the auspices of the London Institute of Economic Affairs, by Douglas Houghton, now chairman of the Parliamentary Labor Party but formerly the minister in charge of v co-ordinating social policy on pen- “There appears,” he wrote, “to be a noticeable shift in public opin ion toward bringing improved bene fits to those most in need; away from ‘niversalism’ to ‘selectivity’, methods? Richard Crossman, one of the Labor Cabinet’s best think ers, has said, “There is no doubt that in the lifetime of this Parliament we shall complete the task of break ing away from Beveridge.” And, presumably, universality. — (The Globe and Mail). .,. It could, I think, be improved for all (I emphasize for all) if those who want a better service were required to pay for it... All I ask is that this and other ideas should be discussed without too much doctrinal pre judice. I believe public opinion is moving in this directon.” Yet the Liberal Government in Canada seems determined to make the same mistake made by the Labor Government in Britain; it proposes to move to universal medicare by July 1, 1968. Its proposals are not welcomed by Quebec which, having many urgent needs of its own, quar rels "with the federal interference and the haste of the federal time table; by Ontario, which disap proves of the universality, the com pulsion, the .exclusion of private carriers, the proposed federal pay ments; and by Alberta, which holds much the same views as Ontario. These three governments repre sent more than two-thirds of the Canadian people, and on a matter that lies primarily within the pro vincial jurisdiction. Yet Ottawa bulls ahead. The legislation has not been put into final shape, the arguments of the provinces have not yet been silenced. Neither the Ontario nor the Alberta plans would seem to meet Ottawa’s requirements. The discussion still goes on. Surely it should be expanded to consider the British difficulties. They started out cold, having no body’s mistakes to learn from but their own. We have 19 years of their mistakes to counsel us. Are we to insist on repeating them all for our selves, while they move on to wiser 75 Years Ago .HURON NEWS-1WCCORD Wednesday, July 27, 1892 L Brunsdon and Son, Lon- desboro have sold 17 binders, 22 mowers and a v?ry large number of other farm imple. ments this season.

In making the presentation, Group Captain K.R. Greenaway., who hands over command of CFB today, said: “The names of Clinton and radar have been linked for many years. In fact, to some people they are synonymous. “During World War n where, ver Canadian, British or Am erican radar technicians ser- ved - and that was in every corner of the free world — the name of Clinton was known, for the vast majority of these men received their train, ing there. “In the early days of World War H, radar was highly clas. sifted and because of this, a place remote from the scene of battle and attention was need- ed so that training in the highly specialized equipment could be conducted safely and securely. Clinton was chosen.” Today, thousands of Amer, ican and Canadian military men operate many different kinds of radar installations all over the North American continent. As part of the international force that makes up NORAD, they are dedicated to preventing any surprise attack against the two partner nations. Clinton, Ontario, may have missed the boat in the headlines and i fame department, ‘but its people know that their town has a history to be proud of and a future assured because radar came into its own in their community 26 years ago. * * * * * Attend Your Church Thisbenefit of the African people of Rhodesia. Support for this scheme has been withdrawn by both U.N. Agencies. I regret to say that protestations made to the contrary by agencies of the British Government and U.N. Agencies are untrue, or are at best, distortions of the truth.” This cynical disregard for the health and welfare of black Africans is an insult to those people who believed that the U.N. was concerned with people, regardless of race, color or creed. Or could it be that Rhodesia is “guilty” of the “crime” of improving the lot of the black African sufficiently to make him immune to commu nist subversion? Yours sincerely, • Jane Hunt, Vancouver,.

Maureen is no stranger to many of the reading public as . she was assistant to the late Miss Evelyn Hall and also has been acting librarian for .sev eral months; Mrs. Farquhar commenced her duties last week. Clinton residents have long been proud of the local lib. rary. Each year it provides pleasure and education for hun dreds of adults and children. Since January 1, 1967 it has been part of the Huron County Library system. Library ser vice is now FREE! What else is free? Each adult is per mitted two books at a time, ahd each juvenile one. These books are due in two weeks, but if you have not finished in that period you may renew the book for fourteen more days, Throughout the county there is a Uniform charge for overdue books. Five cents per day is charged for each day the lib rary has been, open since the due date of book. X XV’ 1 n ” ---- ----------------------- .

MODERATION At any time and in any place, the voice of the extremist is more apt to make itself heard than that of the moderate man. The language of intemperance and bitterness, pitched in strident key, makes news in a way that the language of reason and restraint does not. But if moderate men are not to . be overwhelmed or, at very least, damaged by misrepresentation, it is Sometimes vital that they speak up in the name of that largely silent majority which has. consistently showii at the ballot box that it wants no part of extremism* (Industry).
