The town council of Lake Megantic, province of Quebec, unanimously approved a Social Credit resolution to the effect that the federal government should be pressed to grant financial aid to the municipalities, such aid to take the form of loans, interest-free, through the intermediary of the Bank of Canada. Mr. Philias Roy, prominent local Crediter, was asked to explain in detail, the aim of this resolution.
In Asbestos, Quebec, Armand Picard and his fellow-Crediters have done a creditable bit of work in persuading the town council to vote a resolution asking that the president of the council of municipalities of Quebec to ask all the municipalities to urge upon the federal government the resolution a propos of the interest-free loans by the Bank of Canada.
Florant Fournier, another active Crediter, has pushed the town council of Ville Jacques Cartier, a suburb of Montreal, to approve, again unanimously, this same resolution.
In Drummondville, Quebec, Mr. Laurent Ricard, a hard-driving Crediter, has been actively leading opposition to various proposed loans brought up by the town council. He has been successful in most cases. Mr. Ricard and the other local Crediters, are fighting against taxation and for interest-free loans by the Bank of Canada. This is the work of the Social Credit movement, directed by the Union of Electors.

You can see how Crediters are working to implement the particular theme decided upon at the last annual congress of the Social Credit movement. This congress, held at St. Basile, N.B., at the beginning of September, decided that in view of the desperate plight of municipalities everywhere, the principal activity upon which Crediters should focus their energies, should be the resolution asking that the federal government finance municipal projects through the advance of interest-free credits from the Bank of Canada.
The Union of Electors is not satisfied with merely writing and reading about Social Credit. It believes that Crediters should act and act politically. So, Crediters in Lake Megantic, Asbestos, Drummondville and Ville Jacques Cartier, are hard at work, pressuring their local representatives to do something along Social Credit lines. And you can see that they are succeeding. If you believe in the principles of Social Credit you can do likewise. This publication is here to show you how.
But the most elementary, the most important kind of work in which you can engage, even if you are a beginner, is the taking of subscriptions to the paper. In this way you introduce others to Social Credit. You contribute in a most direct and positive manner to the spread and cultivation of the Social Credit mentality, without which there can be no hope of ever implementing our ideals and saving society.
