Goujon; to talk of -old times,” Madame troubled very little about lidr role of house­ keeper, “I shall send a bottle of wine out to you—old times are bet­ ter talked about oyer Burgundy.” She smiled at Jules Goujon and a glass of r SIBBALD—-AMY A happy occasion centred at the home of Mr. find Mrs. Elgin Amy* Conquest, on Saturday, October 7th, when their eldest daughter Lois Patricia, became the bride of Har­ old Wilfred Sibbald, son of Mrs. Sibbalt) and the late R. T. sibhald, of Ardath. The sitting room was tastefully decorated toil* the oc­ casion with streamers and hells and a beautiful ceiling-high flowering plant made a background for the occasion. The ceremony was per­formed by Rev. A. T. McIntyre, of Conquest United iChurch. The bride was beautiful in a street length i dress of Copen blue. She carried a. Sheaf bouquet of roses and carna­ tions and wore a gold locket, the gift of the groom. Slje was attend- de by her sister, Jean, whose dress was of coral shade. Mr. Arthur Sib- bald was groomsman. Mrs, Amy, mother of the bride, wore a fuschia dress, and the groom’s mother one of flojvered rayon. After the regis­ ter had been signed and congratu­ lations extended the wedding party adjourned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Johnson where a bounteous wedding banquet was spread/ and to which 30 guests were seated. ! The table was centi’ed with a beau­ tifully decorated wedding cake. At the table telegrams of congratula­ tion frpm Miss Mabel Head, of Re­ gina, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sib- bald, of Edmonton, Alberta, were read (one has since been received from the bride's brother, Glen, on active service in Italy). Rev. Mr. McIntyre gave the toast to the bride, which was responded to by the groom. Late in the, afternoon the happy couple motored to Rose­ town where they boarded the train jfor a two-week’s honeymoon at Calgary, Banff and Edmonton. The groom’s gift to the bridesmaid was a signet ring and to the groomsman, a fountain pen. Mr. and Mrs. Sib- ’ ■ . home on the insure.

Only Rosine, who had stood up to let Gesner move her cushion, made no sound, gave no sign of rapture, She stood close to madame’s tall dress­ er and she was staring up at the picture partly pushed aside and al- ; most hidden by madame’s black from that thin, smiling face, i 'Toll Tell me, Pol.” Rosine's voice was urgent, “Yes—yes!” he whispered. “I would know him anywhere.

To get full details, save and read every advertisement. NOL x?: For complete informa' tion, write for the booklet, “Back to Civil Life.”i-3533 /'4' i 3$xW$ $$$• 33# * >/ a CANADA’S TREATMENT AND PENSION LEGISLATION Canada has assumed as a minimum obligation to members of the armed forces that, before their return to civil life, the fullest possible measures shall be taken towards physical fitness, and that pension shall be provided for any permanent disability due to service. Full medical service is provided and veterans’ hospitals have been established from coast to coast. Equipment for the most modern types of treatment has been installed, and leading specialists in all branches of medicine and surgery have willingly placed their services at the disposal of veterans.There is free treatment with allowances to every discharged person for the first year after return to civil life and free treatment with allowances for pensioned conditions is available throughout the pensioner’s life. Those discharged from the forces unable to work and in need of continuing treatment may have their pay and allowances of rank continued for one year, if necessary, and for longer when treatment is still required for a pensionable condition. PENSIONSPension is awardable under three simple and easily understood conditions: 1. When the veteran has served in a theatre of war, death or any permanent disability not due to misconduct is pensionable. 2. (a) When the veteran has served in Canada only, death or disability caused by service is pensionable.(b) Death or serious disability not due to service may be pensionable if hardship would otherwise result. JOBS FOR DISABLEDA very wide program of education is being carried on continuously so that veterans who suffer a disability as a result of their war service may have a full and happy future. Many volunteer associations are assisting in this work, while specialized help is available from such organizations as the War Amputa' tions of Canada, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and the Canadian Society for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. THE COMMDNITY’S RESPONSIBILITYThis series of advertisements has given, in brief form, an outline of the Canadian re-establishment program for ex-service men and women. The responsibility, however, is not entirely that of Parliament. It can provide legislation and funds but in the final analysis it must be the veterans them­ selves and the people of Canada who make the program work. The public support so far has been unstinted, but successful administration requires further public support. Understanding and effort by the whole people are Deeded* , VETERANS’ WELFARE OFFICERS ARE STA­ TIONED IN KEY CENTRES THROUGHOUT CANADA. THEY ADVISE AND ASSIST EX- SERVICE PERSONNEL, AND SHOULD BE CONSULTED ON ALL PROBLEMS.
