A Crediter of the Union of Electors at work, Maurice Brisson of Spanish, Ontario, is a member of the Social Credit movement of the Union of Electors. He is one Crediter, who like many other of our members, has fully understood the political action taught by the movement. As in most of the small communities in the northern part of the country, there are many poor in and about Spanish. Maurice Brisson was not satisfied with lamenting the sorry lot of these people, nor was he satisfied with contributing a dollar or two to some organized charity with a big staff to pay. He picked up the telephone and called straight through to the office of the Ontario Minister of Social Welfare in Toronto. (Maurice Brisson does not stand abashed and shy in the presence of government bureaucrats and administrators as do so many citizens. He has been taught by the movement that such individuals hold their office by the consent if the people and that they are there to be subject to and obedient to the pressure which the people may exert upon them.) "Send an inspector to look into the state of the poor people here", was the demand of Maurice Brisson upon the Minister. A few days later an inspector arrived and made a thorough investigation into the conditions of the poor families of that region. Shortly afterwards one of these families was able to report receipt of a cheque of $69.00, a good beginning. This is true political action in the best tradition of the Union of Electors and thoroughly in harmony with the wishes and teaching of the founder of Social Credit, Major Douglas. Not by placing a ballot in the ballot box once every so many years will we change the existing system, but only in exercising such political activity at all times as did Maurice. Brisson.
