Elliott and Mr. Mike Miss (Mary McGregor Carr. Gordon Fowler and and ALLOWANCES FOR DEPENDENTS ARE * TO BE EXTENDED Payment is Provided for Four Child­ ren of Men Serving in Armed Forces Instead of Two as at Present Payment of allowances to families of ihett in the forces for four, depend­ ent children instead of the present top limit of two, increases in war veterans’ allowances and a flexible system of adjusting dependents’ allowances ac­ cording to need were announced in the House of Commons by Finance Min­ ister Usley. The announcement followed long study by Government officials on the effect of increased costs of living on persons drawing pensions and other fixed incomes from the Government and many representations that they Should receive the cost-of-living bon­ us or something similar. The chief points of the minister’s announcement were: 1, An allowance of $9 per month foe a third child, and $6 for a fourth child will be paid to wives of men below the rank of warrant officer class one serving in the army and the air force with a corresponding adjust­ ment for families of men serving in the navy. 8. In special cases allowances to dependent mothers of men serving may be increased from $20 per month up to $25. 3. Creation df a “war allowances adjustment fund” to be administered by trustees out of which special cases of hardship may be dealt with accord­ ing to need, 4. Increases in war veterans’ al­ lowances in cases of special need are authorized up to $5 a month for a single man and $10 a month for a married man. This brings the maxi­ mum allowance to $30 per month for a married man and $15 a month for a single man, 5. The Government has decided against increases in disability pensions, old age pensions and pensions for the blind. “It is estimated that these changes will provide benefits for approximat­ ely one third the present recipients at an estimated_ cost of $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 per annum,” said Mr. Usley. The present allowances paid to de­ pendents of men of non-commissioned rank in the army and air force are $35 per month for a wife and $12 a month for each of two children. The new arrangement does not affect the allowances to dependents of commis­ sioned officers. The change means that where a wife with more than two children re­ ceived $59 a month she will now re­ ceive $68 if she has three children and $74 if she has four or more child-, reu. In addition she receives $20 a month from her husband’s pay which he is required to assign to her. “We do not propose to make additional allowances beyond fourth child because we ’believe definite steps should be taken to courage the recruiting of men with large families,” said the minister. The war allowances adjustment fund would be created by a grant from the treasury, and the minister said no estimate could be made of the amount required. The board of trus­ tees to administer it would consist of representatives of the Dependents’ Allowance Board which administers allowances; the veterans’ welfare div­ ision of the Department of Pensions and National Health, the Canadian Legion, the- Canadian Welfare Coun­ cil, the Women’s Institutes or some other persons familiar with rural con­ ditions, labor, the controller of the treasury or the auditor-general, and an independent chairman experienced in dealing with similar problems. Under the national board would be local or regional committees of similar composition and at least 60 or 70 in number. They would deal with appli­ cations and make recommendations to the national board, which would make all decisions. any the that dis­ Mr. 'Gordon Bosman left for Kitch­ ener on Monday, where he hopes to secure work.
