Mothers' Pensions The grateting of mothers' pensions, so long urged upon the Ontario goy. ernnent, has now passed' into law, and a commission has been appointed to administer the Act, the personnel of which ought to secure public confid- ence, Hon. Peter Bryce, of 'Toronto, whose p(tilanthropic work is well- known, is chairmen; Mrs, Adain Sharon of Ottawa, is vice-chairman, and tine other uletltbers are Mrs, W. F. Singer, Major T, J. Murphy and Mr, A. .. Reynolds , Unlike most government commissions, there is not the least suggestion of political partizanship in Its make-up. The newly -formed commission has now issued a memorandum for the guidance of applicants and beneficiaries under the act, which ought 10 have wide circulation. Applications are considered only when the mother of the children is a widow, or the wife of an innate of a hospital for the Insane In Ontario, or of a man who is permanently disabled and incapable of contributing lo the support of his family. The mother must have been resident in Canada at the time of the death of the father of the children on whose be- half the allowance is to be made, and for a period of three years immediately prior to the application for an allow- ance, The mother must be resident in Ont. Brio at the time of the application lot an 5llnwance•and must have been living, its Ontario for the two years inmtediate- ly prior to this date. The mother, must. continue to live in Ontario will) her dependent child- ren so long as they are receiving an allowance. Any change of residence must be reported at once. The mother must be of British sub- ject by birth or naturalization or the wife or widow of a British subject, The mother must be a 51 and proper person to have the care and custody of Iter children, The mother must have two or more of San own children under 14 years rd age living u•itlt her, and. must show that she cannot care properly for them without the aresistance of an allowance under the act. Where a mother has two or more children, event if they are now being cared for in institutional homes, it is quite legitimate for her to make application for an allowance in ardor that she may stake a home, for them, The members of tate Commission do not wish applicants to be considered as applying for charity; rather, the ntotiter, when in receipt of an allow- ance, is to be regarded as an employe of the Ontario government receiving remuneration for services rendered in the proper care of her children, The mother, as an employe of the government, must not only satisfy the commission. of her fatness to receive alt allowance at the time ef her appli- cation, but she must satisfy thein that she is fulfilling the trust which is be- ing placed in her, and co-operation with the official visitors of the commission and local Boards is necessary toward this end. Satisfactory reports of the health and general wefare of the child- ren roust be received if the allowance is to be continued. This act does not state any fixed sunt or schediele according to which the payment of allowances wilt be made, The commission, however, will fix the maximum and minimum allowances which will be granted, and each family will receive individual consideration' within these limits. Allowances will be granted in accordance with a cost -of - living budget prepared after due study, ef the present assets and resources of the fancily and its needs. Nu allow- ances will be paid before October it, 1920, and time will be required for the investigation of each particular case be- fore payment can be expected. So far aspossible, applications are ennsfder- ect in the order in which they are re- ceived. The act might be called a Widows' Pension Act, for such it really is, no. woman being considered to came un- der its provision who las a husband alive and capable of supportieg her, The importance of legislation of thiS•. class in order to enable mothers of small means to take care of their child- ren has long been generally recognized and many States and Provinces have taken legislative action with beneficial results, It is to Ile hoped the .taper- !ence of Ontario will be equally satis- factory, :.-•.._,.,,"._...._... „ Sonte Tall Coen, Mr, Jaber. hands haci a stalk cf corn outside of h1s blacksmith shop this week, 15 at he cut from Itis garden that measured 12'feet 5 incites, t. 0.
