In view of the fact, that the:'basis
of. calculation • of^ Pensions has been
recently changed, and is-nrow placed
on the purchasing power of the ap-
plicants assets ' to secure, a govern-
merit annuity, . and that the total or
combined , assets of husband and wife
must be considered or 'pooled 't6 -de-
termine the pension . to be granted,
there will ne doubt be a inateri•al de-
crease in ` the amount , of , pensions
granted. Iii feet this process has'
already • been put into effect and -
there has been lately a considerable
scaling down of pensions.
• An example of how the Government
annuity, ,plan 'is carried out can . ,be
explained by: an example which ac-
tually occurred very recently: • A
father and son came•linto 'a certain
office seeking information as to pen-
sion platters 'for 'the father. The old
an was asked his age and-'h'e
gentleman -
said 85, and in reply to the. next'
question, as 1 o his circumstances, as
to ;assets, etc., he said that he had
1,000• in the ' bank and $1,000.00 in`
bonds. 110 was innformmed that he was
not eligible ' for pension,: as , the

HEAVY . FIVE LOSSES
It seems , to be generally assumed'
that fire losses on residential, prop-
erty is a very small portion of fire
losses, but the .figures • for last yea>
are contradictory to this:- ,belief. Last
year's figures reveal that out' of 14,-
000 • fires in. Ontario 10;000 occurred
in- homes, with an everage loss of
about $300.00. Carelessness was given
as: the- -cause •.of_rast,- of - the fires,
while a number., were casual applian-
ces. There, were 200 lives lost in' fires
in Ontario in 1930 the greater. per-
centage being, women and ' children.
The plain 'ditty of . every -member or.
a household should be to take pre-
c-a'ution-against fire, for while prop-
erty destroyed can be replaced q
lost life is irreparable. -

The Government in granting pen-

tate- business. Ata matter of fact,
the : question should' not bethere. as it

cant says yes or no itmakesnio dif-

There is another matter often com-
ing up _to the Committee and that is
the amount of .pension .given to a ma.n.
and wife. It has been held and gen-
erally carried out that 11.--4 pension
be granted instead• of two pensions.
It all depends on the circumstances.
• A man andwife owning their own
home, . no rent to pay, a garden and
caro' keep hens or -a pig, are. better
off -with a pension • and a half, or $30
per month, than those living separ-
ate without these cornforts ,would be
with •$20 each or •$40 per month:

sdheme as a county institution or 'ss

than now, while leaving enough to the
counties to' pay to create an interest
