"We do not consider an election in the light of a horse race," Mrs. Grace Maclnnis, well-known party organizer, told a cheering audience last night, at the Sons of Norway Hall. Speaking in support of CCF candidate ' George Hills, Mrs. Maclnnis blasted the Social Credit government on all fronts, slammed at the Liberals for "stealing CCF Ideas" and laughed at the Conservatives from whom she said "we should have no further worry." "In Saskatchewan they're try-. cents for mediums after opening on the exchange last Saturday And she lashed at Social Credit policy of "cutting at the roots of our standards of education and culture." "If they are lelt to exercise the Eolston forth ula. and cuts in expenditures on social services the way they have shown us, our standards will either suffer severely or we'll have to pay more taxes on our property to keep them up." Among social service funds . wiped out was the 1952 $700 grant to the Prince Rupert Public Library, she said. Mrs. Maclnnis compared provincial and municipal debts during six years from 1944 to 1950 in Saskatchewan (CCF), Alberta (Social Credit) and B.C. (Coalition).
