LESSON IN HORTICULTURE

On recent trip to Canada had the pleasure of meet
ing Engishborn Canadian citizen, who had immgraed
Canada shortly after having served in the British Army
during World War ].
Starting from scratch he has built himself fine little
business the proprietor of greenhouse and lives in
beautiful home which he owns He is thankful that the
climate of Canada permitted him by virtue of
initiative and toll to become his boss well to raise
his own blooms
His accomplishment is similar to that of millions of
other Canadians and Americans who under Capitalist
Economy been able achieve security for themselves
their families without any assistance from paterna
My excuse therefore writing this piece sim
nv to recount one more success story but to pass on
thing he said to during the of conversation
do with the why he left England to take
residence in Canada which latter country he subsequent
ly became citizen and successful businessman
AS young he had exercised the prudence and the
wisdom Of voluntarily joining paying dues into
cety which protected him against financial distress in the
illness accident and provided death benefits
Then the British government sowing the seeds which
eventually the socalstc regime which
parayzes that nation launched its compulsory free health
program which required all British citizens to into
No exceptions were made of the many who like my
friend already thriftiy had made provision for
medical care their free will They forced to
kick in something they neither desired needed
This was "the straw that broke the camers back Our
erswhle Englishman Canadian nurseryman, had be-
come dissatisfied with other things that taking place
in England the early 2os but this showing compulsory
medicine down his throat what finally decided HIM TO
up roots and go to Canada
The things he foresaw and feared have come to pass
We witness formerly proud and selt-rean English
people, bit by bit giving the freedom which once permit
led the proudly uthfuy boast that every English
mans home is MS caStle
But thank the Lord the spirit of enterprise not COM
petely Britain recent survey by the British In
tite of Public Opinion indicated that 48 percent of Brit
sh adults the age of 30 would like to leave England
and settle in another country this after only five OF
socalistic government
This would seem to indicate that the young men and
women of England fed up with the loss OF liberty and
individual initiative that already they have discovered that
the blossoms of RECOMMENDATION ugly weeds and not the
beautiful the socialist leaders led them to believe
Compulsory government medicine was the entering
wedge for socialism England There lies the lesson for
rs here in the United States of America where our do
good" "sarryeyed bureaucrats are trying to force com
nulsorv health insurance Let's keep our DOCTORS
free of RECOMMENDATION and control SO that they
may continue devise and better methods Tor the pre-
enton of disease and the alienation of physical distress
And let remember that liberty and opportunity with
e on the and die when government steps IN TO 40 Tor
the individual the things that the individual should do Tor
himself.-George Peck
