At the beginning of the war, the
government announced that men who
enlisted would be given the same bene-
fits tinder the Pension Act as applied
at the conclusion of the last war. The
Insurance Principle was part 'of the
Act and therefore everyone who joined
the service automatically was protected
by this principle.
This was the case until May 21,
1940, when the government passed an
order-in-council which abolished the
Insurance Principle for men and wo-
men with service in Canada only. In
its place, the government -said that
pensions would be payable to the
"Canada only" group as of right only
when the disability or death arose out
of, or was directly connected with,
military service.
A provision was made for the pay-
ment of compassionate pensions when
the veteran -was seriously disabled or,
if he died during service, to his de-
pendents when they were in neces-
'sitotis circumstances and held in-
eligible under these very restrictive
regulations,
The Legion has found by experience
that it is almost impossible to prove
that any ordinary disease arose out of
service or that death due to disease
could be directly connected with serv-
ice when that service was in Canada
only. In addition, injuries causing
disabilities or death which were not
incurred while performing aptnal mili-
tary duty are rarely compensated by
pension as a matter of right when the
service is in Canada ibnly ,‘,,
The Legion has constantly maintain-
ed that the Insurance Principle should
be extended to all troops Who volun-
teered for active service, no matter
where they saw service, Many hard-

FOOD FROM FARMS
FOR WAR PRISONERS
By arrangement with the British
Red Cross Society, the Canadian Red
Cross Society supplies two-thirds of
all the food parcels sent to allied
prisoners of war, excepting those from
the United States, Clothing and
medical supplies to Canadian, British
and other Allied prisoners are supplied
by the British Red' Cross. Much of
the food in the parcels originates on
Canadian farms.
A total of 190,000 parcels are sent
from Canada to prisoners of war every
week. This year the cost will be, it is
estimated, $24,700,000, of which the
Canadian Red Cross will pay $5,500,-
000. The 190,000 parcels go to 80,-
000 British and Canadian prisoners of
war in Europe, 80,000 for other allied
prisoners in Europe, 30,000 for British
prisoners and civilians in the Far East.
The parcels are not sent individually
to prisoners, but are distributed by the
International Committee in Geneva,
Switzerland. The food in the parcels
is intended to supplement the m,....a.gre
prisoners' diet. Each parcel weighs
/1 pounds and contains: —
16 ozs. whole milk powder

HOMES ARE PRECIOUS
THINS - HOW MUCH
IS YOURS WORTH
By Edna Jaques
Our forefathers hewed their homes
out of a wilderness', They cut down
dark ferests' cyf ,oalt,' hard maple and
pine, They planted wheat between the
stumps, gathering and tieing the
precious sheaves by hand at harvest
time,
They were pioneers, strong and re-
liable, They dared the perils of the
unknown because they believed in the,
future of attada, both for themselves
and for their sons.
Canadians today have the same
strong belief and our big job is hew-
ing a ee.wliotrie once more, Not frOln
the forests this time, but out of a
wilderness of war and uncertainty to
that between the stomps of battle we
may sow the Seeds of security,
Taking our lesson from what hap-
Derided during and after the last War,
when the cost' of index rose to
MS% in IMO we Will fight a hard
battle,
But the worst of ft in the last war,
we remember, was that the cost of
living didn't stop rising with the end
of the war. It kept on climbing until
in July, 1920, the index had risen to
the inereditable height of 191.6.
Women will specially remember the
cost of food, Mothers with hungry
young lads to feed were nearly frantic
wondering how to make their dollars
buy more groceries. Remember when
sugar went to. 25c a pound, flour over
$8 a bag, potatoes — plain old Irish
cobblers — were $1.08 a peck?
Common yellowi' soap was 12c a bar,
baking powder 55c a tin, lard 42c a
pound, butter 72c a pound.
These were peak prices, of course,
but they just about drove mothers
grey trying to 'balance their food
budgets and still "keep the kids grow-
ing" as one harassed mother put it.
This must not happen again. We
all know that wars breed inflation.
But when Bill comes , grinning off that
train with his "hononrable discharge"
it's up to every Canadian citizen to
have something to hand him.
He offered 100 per cent of all he had
to keep the land for us.' What are we
going to offer him?
There are hundreds of lads like Bill,
out there fighting, who are tieing
themselves to a picture of a little busi-
ness, a farm, a home, with children
running across a green lawn, or play-
ing hockey in winter in that vacant
lot next door.
The only way we can make their
dreams become realities is to hold
buying down to the steady level Of
everyday needs—to fight inflation to
the last, refusing to pay more than we
did last month or last year.
Homes are precious things — how
much IS yours worth?
WE ;START" A NEW YEAR
This is our first issue of 1945 'and
see take this our first opportunity of
the year to wish all that is best for
everyone in 'our community, To the
boys over there we extend our ap-
preciation of the grand job they are
doing and hope upon hope that the
war will be a victorious one for them
long ere another year rolls around.
In times such as these, forecasts are
more difficult to make than ever be-
fore. The Allies may meet with stiffer
opposition or even temporary reverses
before "V" Day. We at home must
not relax in Our efforts, but must make
sure we are doing all possible to back
our lads in the army, airforce and
navy. This resolution should be in-
cluded in our list for 1945,

so equipped, Port Elgin has purchas-
