The Hospital Care

Program 1

On December 10th. when the Shaw Govern-

ment is returned to office, every family on the Island will gain by $48! Your government intends to abolish the hospital premiums and pay for this care out of general revenue. The Shaw Government inherited this clumsy and unfair premium system and at the core of this election is the decision of all Islanders on the question: Do we carry bn with prem- iums or do we abolish them? ‘

' Industrial Development

'All Prince Edward Island has hailed the-an- nouncernent of the new $1,000,000 frozen food plant which will be built in the Mon- tague area of Kings County. Mayor Bruce H. Yeo described it as “the answer to his favourite dream”.
