PREACHER PREMIER
STARTS REVIVAL'
To Win Alberta For Social Credit Plan
Calgary (Alberta), Aug. 20.
PREMIER ABERHART, who was a preacher and teacher before he preached and taught Social Credit to the people of Alberta, is shaking up the province with a big revivalist campaign.
Into it he is putting all the fire and fury of a preacher and the zeal of a school-teacher.
He wishes to stir up new enthusiasm for the monthly dividend plan that swept his party into power in Alberta.
He must also explain the benefits of his "registration" scheme;
to doubting businessmen and other citizens.
All who wish to receive their monthly social credit dividends
must register and

With the inauguration of "stamped i scrip" [sce explanation in right-hand column in dollar denominations, yesterday, the province is divided into two camps.

The most widespread opposition is caused by the registration plan itself. Under the plan-supervised by members of the Legislature-citizens will be asked to submit to an in-. quisition.
They must tell the size of their families, their income, what pro portion of their wages and fees they could accept in "Alberta credit," what bills they have not yet paid and how they contracted their debts.

What It Is
All About
REMIER ABERHART and
his Socini Credit Party were swept ta power in the Alberts elections last August.
All
Few people in Canada know what Social Credit means. they know is that they were promised £5 a month in "social divlend."
A
Aberhart hns drawn up Covenant which people must sign before getting their divi dead.
Under it they are asked to take their wages in "Alberta credit" money, and be willing to exchange Canadian money for Alberta "credit," to make no claim for Canadian money in ex- change for their "Alberta- credit", yet pay taxes in Cano. dian money.
The Government promises "interest-free" loans in Alberta credit and monthly dividendla to all "registered" citizens.
Issue of stamped scrip do such citizens is to begin in a fow days. This scrip also called "velocity dollars," and "pros- perity certificates"-has the nominal value of a dollar.
Each week the holder must fix a two-cent stamp on his certil. cate. At the end of a year-the Government having received a dallar in stamps-the holder may redeem his certificate.
