It would be of no help to have the government share the costeof all this insurance, for governments have no money of their own and can't pay for anything without first taking the money from the people. All men are not equally exposed to the same uncertainties in life. For some the greatest source of worry is the danger of unemploy- ment, for others it is the uncertain- ties of the market, for ethers again it is the uncertainty of being able to meet financial obligations which they have incurred, for still others • is the state of their health or of the c health of their dependents; nd for the farmers it is the vagaries of the weather ehnd of the markets. Every man's financial problem is different from his neighbor's:* and every man knows his own problem best. Government policy should aim at encouraging every man to study his own problem and to make the hest provision he can against the calamities that are most likely to befall him. A nation is best in- sured when every citizen is in- sured against the dangers that threaten him mese _- Insurance is a good thing, but, . like all goo1 things, it should be suited to t e needs of the in - GeqpRica SIGNAL.STAR d The Farmer Group ineuraldee is also a good thing if every merelser of the group is free to decide' for himself how much of it he should carry. It could= be perverted into an evil thing if all members were com- pelled to carry the same emount. -The greatest Enancial danger facing most people today is their inability to resist the pressure to buy things they can't afford. Half the people we meet have their earnings pledged long before they earn them. When every man Is free to man- age his own affairs he decides for himself how much of his earnings he can safely pledge in advance. But when government injects itself into his%usiness and ceentlejm, to assume perpetual .financial obh gations that are sure to increase with the years regardless, of his other needs, the situation becomes really serious. Today we are faced with a situ- ation in which our elected repre- sentatives, whose duty it is to pro- tect the rights of us all, are forcing us to take out insurance against one particular hazard, without so much as inquiring into the relative imminence to each of us of that 0 hazard ^ as compared with the 5 dozens of other hazards which we vi all have to face in different de- n grecs. Can the Government tell tis how my farmers l'intrrd fac lam- itous hospital bills, as co pared with the numbers who have to face the possibility of crop loss more dividual. ; certain and more serious than any **pita' oto laxly eau not: "' Can it tell tisli.ow Many people r • in other walks of life have to face other hazards meta greater Mari the P0,5sibility of hospital lbws? Lt ean at. Can it tell us where to. find all' the hospital accoetoodation, the doctOrs, and the nurses that will be needed to treat all. the people evho will be entitled to treatment under its hospital plan? It can not. Yet in Spite of its profound ignorance of these essential mat- ters it is going blindly ahead mort- gaging the earnings aIts citizens, for all the years of their lives, to pay for insurance against calm/40es that few of them will experience, and: n,tterly re- gardless of their ability to pay the costs it is imposing on them. The statement that the tax of $2.10 a month for single perSon. and $4.20 a month for heads of families is much cheaper than the Blue Cross would have to charge for the same service is an impu- dent attempt to mislead the people into believing they are being of - fered'a bafojti. 44001140o14-01041141 The qo4t of this hospital plan 18,to bp paid by the taXpayer, through three different one-third through the Doininfora Goverment, one-third through the Provincial Govenonent, and one- third by a direct tax on each and every taxPaY9r. PE The $2.10 and the 420 per month, which the GoVerniudnt com- pares with the Blue ezesss charges, is only one-third of what its own plan as to cost. The other two- pl thirds will have to be pale( by the same taxpayers. Thus the cost to the taxpayers will' be $6.30 per month for singl persons and $12.60 fer the head of families. And ,this cost will increase at the rate of from ten- to eighteen percent per annum, for at 'least ten years. Twelve dollars and sixty cents will make, a big hole in the family's monthly in- come. This hospital plan is the most reckless plunge into state socialism that any government in Canada has taken; and it is being taken by a ConservatiVe Government. tZEC.TatC,'OCPrega"ZtitZ.Z.KratZtZtZaIZE-ZECt7ttat=2tatF,A<K6=ZP:TC:t2P-M71.71,00,Zeare.ttaPC-eCat21 rigliest hoiid gerfins$ to alt uvery. one, we wish a Catmas Season glowing with good cheer, enduring friendships and cherished memories. \ 4 .446,4ks„ -1400 formerly BROPHEYS • FUNERAL HOME PHONE 120 • GODERICH • • • • 04 special delight of the holiday season is the opportunity it brings to exchange greetin nd layrishes with all our frirds.
