Medinto-the minds of it citizens. are certain things which it 4,11eeeseary to have in order to make .41 an ideal town. Let me illustrate ,,erey point by saying that there are -.••- eVertain pillars that it is essential to have before any, town can be at all attractive. The first pillar I would ariention is the home. The home is divine and sacred institution and 4441 , that guiding force, is being taken a- way from our children and from our home, it becomes the duty Of every loyal citizen to use all the influence he has to see that thee laws are removed from our statute books. We should also remember that no town can, be greatly beautiful, or beauti- fully great unless and until our homes are beautiful internally as well. as externally. Another pillar is the church. Right by the home the two must stand to- gether, every loyal citizen should be a member of some church, for more reasons than one. In the first place every citizen should endeavor to make this is a divine requirement and then it as attractive as possible. He oughto too if we give this matter any ser- 4a/so to endeavor to protect 7t from ious consideration at all we mist -re: the many forces that are constantly alize what a tremendous influence for - at work to accomplish its overthrow. good the churches in our various tiee would be if the churches and their influences were to be perman- ently removed. The next pillar is the echool, Now I am sure- that we are all agreed as to the value of the school in our oommunity, as it is here Unit our country's statesmen of to -morrow are being trained to -day. I believe that the expenditure on education is one of the largest items that our munici- palities have to meet at the present time; indeed mar DY municipalities are finding the financing of the many phases of educational requirements are so great that it is creating a real problem in order to- make ends meet, but I am confident that time and patience will in the end find all We may not realise how many Can- adian homes are being broken up annually by our divorce laws and, similar forces, but we da know that this evil is spreading, and we ly closed up. Can we imagine what • know that it is constituting a seriou.s a state or condition our country threat against the stability and hap- would be in in twenty or thirty years municipalities have been. I wonder if we ever stop to consider what would happen if our churches with all their influence were. to be sudden• piness of our home life. It has beei said in times past, and I believe there was a great deal of truth in the statement, "that the hand that rocks the cradle 'is the hand that rules the from now if all these Christianizing forces were gone, Personally. I am satisfied that even from a financial standpoint the churches of our land are the finest investment we have to• worL" If; then, we find that by our day, as we can hardly conceive what laws that hand is being removed and. the cost of the administration of jus - "1 Was jembly Run Down" Says WS, Doughty: "Dr. Pink Pills Built Me Up." municipal governments able to meet the demands that are being made on them financially for the education of our young people without lowering the standard of education which it has taken so much time and effort to establish. The fourth pillar is the press. Ev- eryone knows what a mighty factor the press has been in carrying on works of our Owes, oaf cities and in- deed our whole Country. The in- fluence of the press can hardly be estimated. It has been instrumental in bringing about many of the great- est reforms in the laws and the gov- ernment of our country and its in- fluence in building up our municipali- ties is beyond estimation. It is' through the press that our business men and our Manufacturers tell the people what hey have for sale 'and, it is to the press that our people look for this infoxenation, so I am sure that there wij1 be no argument when I say that et, good live town requires a live, reliable press that wilt take pride in boosting and ad- vertising its particular municipality. The next pillar is the law. It should be the duty of e."Very loyi.l citize.n to endeavor net only te keep the law himself, but he should also endeaesor to assist the officers of the law in the discharge of their dutieo. When you find a person who has ne regard for the law, you find a dee- gerous creature. No good citizen should encourage or tolerate for a moment the mob spirit. If it is mur- der for one person to take the life of another, then if there are fifty concerned there are fifty murderers responSible. As lawlessness is en- couraged human life becomes cheap; therefore, we should all stand particu- larly in these times for the enforce- ment of all law. Another pillar, and a very import ant one, is the pillar of civic pride. I believe that it is absolutely essen• tial if any town is to•be an ideal one to live in, its citizens must be edu- cated to have civic pride. es the years go by more and more our peo- ple are being impressed with the fact; that ugliness, crime. and misery,age hand in hand, ,Municipalities ere finding that itepays to provide suit- able places of recreation for its del:. zens. They are finding also that it pays to beautify -our homes and out towns, that things beautiful create an atmosphere which,. has a tendency to help people look up and cultivate their minds to think of things that are pure and beautiful. Human energy is the dynamic force behind all these efforts. Civic pride invokes loyalty to the community, to the municipality in which we make our home and of whose good name 'we should be juOtly jealoue:' Civic loyalty is but part .of that larger loyality to country for which lives are willingly offered in time of need, For a town all things are possible. The single need is to find some per- son or group of persons who will have faith in the outcome. We must - keep in mind that improvement can- not be wished on our town; it must come from within. Therefore we re- quire ,united effort, all citizens will- ing and anxious to do their part. The lower animals canteach us many les- sons that in union there is strength.

The Rising Tide of Doles T� Veterans Less than one per cent. of the peo• pie of the United States receive 25 per cent. of the entire federal rev- enue. They are the beneficiaries o'f World War veterans' relief. They will swallow this year the entire in- come tax paid by the other 9e.2 per cent.. of 'the population.' ' -Most of this money doe O not go to ex -soldiers who were hurt in combat, or to the dependents of those who •died. The further a disabled veter- an was froni the actual fighting on the Western front, the more he is now averaging each month from the federal Treasury. A man disabled in action is getting on the average $39 a month compensation. A man dis- abled by disease in this country en- joys an average of almost $99. De- pendents of soldiers killed in France average about $18 a month. But the man who contracted mumps in a training camp and suffered the atrophy of one gland receives a flat Compensation of $25 a month. The Congressional crazy quilt of legislation on veterans' relief is full of such contrasts and inequities. A woman with two, children who lost her husband under enemy guns gets only $46 a month. But a certain ex - officer, who entered the service 13 days 'before the armistice, is nose getting $187.50 a month retirement pay, although he has a $9,000 salary, and although the record shows that at the time of his discharge he had no wound, injury or disease whether incurred in the Military service or otherwise. Thus the pressure of the veterans' powerful Washington lobby has in- creasingly been to get more cash for living veterans regardless of their need or earning power, rather than to place a higher value on the lives of those who were killed in ,war. Dead men hive no political influence., Neither do they pay dues to support the lobby. Official records list the names of business ,men, lawyers and doctors, earning salaries of from $4,000 to 110,000, who are getting full retirement compensation. „ One of theveterans' relief laws says that certain diseases, °notably tuberculosis, shall be presumed to have occurred in the service if con- tracted before 1923. Still another odd law declares all met shall be presumed to have been- in sound phys- ical condition When they entered' the service. Actually, toward the end of the war, thousands of men were ad- mitted to limited service Who were obviously •not in sound health. To put another absurdity on the heter- ogeneous woodpile of veteran legisla- tion, a Congressional ukase declared that the war, for disability compen- sation purposes, ended in 1921, in- stead of 1918. Nowhere in the basic law of the United 'States is there any admission that enlistment implies a contract be- tween the soldier and the govern- ment by which the latter is to pay citizens after the conflict is over. Yet .683,110 eieteratis—more than twice the number of our wounded and dead from all causes in the World War—are now getting government money in monthly (payments. Add relatives and pensioners to this and the total comes to 1,300,000 persons receiving bounty at the expense of the rest of the taxpayers. This rvet- erans' relief program is costing a billion dollars a year. Great Bri- tain's much criticized dole had about 148,000 beneficiaries last year, and the total cost of the experiment since 1920 was $525,000,000. [The United States, which suffered something ov- er 300,000 casualties in the World War, is now paying $329,000,000 more for veterans' relief than was paid in 1932; Great Britain, with 3,000,000 casualties, is now paying $L50,000,000 less than in 1922. The difference between the two countries is that in Britain the cost of the vet- eran- e has declined- while the cost of social services to the whole popula- tion has increased, wherear in the United States the whole increase has gone to the veterans as tribute to their growing political power. In other words, hi Great Britain the ex - soldiers are merging once more with the civilian .population, -while in -the United ,States they are becoming a specially favored class apart.] Nor does the expeese in the United States KEEP-. -DODD'S, KIDNEY PILLS HANDY AND USE THEM IN TIME OF NEED Read What Ontario Man Has to Say About Dodd's Kidney Pills. Cardinal, Ont., June 9 (Special)— "We keep a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills in the house at all times," writes 'Mr. W. R. Barton, R. R. No. 1, this place. "We take them when we get Lame Back. I don't think there is any medicine that will take the place of IDadd's Kidney Pills." If you have seen anyone suffering with Kidney trouble you will do all in your power to prevent this ter- rible ailment getting the upper hand with you.

Scientists tell us that on bed alone cannot make honey. Bees suc- ceed only by working for the. good of other bees. A single bee separat- ed from the hive is absolutely use- less, yet a hive of bees has a very great and well-defined purpose. It is the Divine Spirit of all for one and one for all, that works for the greatest good for all. May I suggest then that we all get into the spirit of co-operation and really co- operate with . our municipal council, our Lions Club, whose guests we are this evening, and all other civic or- ganizations which has for its object the building up of our municipality. There is just one more pillar that I would like to mention and that i; the pillar of unselfishness. If our town is to become an ideal one ee must ,forget self. I cannottrarine any official who has taken ' psi - don from a purely selfish stand -point filling that position successfully. Neither can I imagine any official taking his position in order to give his tavel the best service that he is capable of giving being a failure. The spirit in which we do things makes a tremendous difference as to whether we succeed or fail. ,My ex- perience has been that the average person who is voluntarily serving his community, while he may .not always be right, ninety-nine times out of Ite hundred he will, be doing what he be- lieves to be- right. Let us as citizens then, unite t6 assist our council and other civic organizations as hest we can. I realize that we are passing through trying t- and troublesome times, but it will not always be so aid if we have the right spirit ere tahall yet see our municipality flour- ish and prosper.

More than half of the men on this disability allowance payroll had been importuning the government before 1930 with claims that their troubles were due to war service. Compensa- tion was denied. Then Congress obligingly legislated them onto the payroll; Study of monthly payments to more than 300,000 :men reveals the ,extent to which the veterans' lobby has been getting grants of money for the men who suffered least from actual war experience. If a soldier contracted tuberculosis in barracks in this country he is averaging $61 a month. If he got the same dis- ease in a• gas attack in France he averages $55 a month. The man who was disabled. on this side of the water by cancer or some malady hp. might have contracted whether he had leen in the army or not is av eraging more per month than the doughboy whose body was torn by an ,enensy bullet. The ex -soldier who lost his mind in -cantonment in this country averages $60.70 a month. The soldier whose mind cracked amid the 'horrors of 'battle averages $48 monthly. - The Emergency Offieers•R-etieement Act, passed in 1928 --although. Con- gress had already provided with generosity for all disabled service men—grants to a limited group cash allowances now costing--ayers nearly a million dollars month. These men are favored because they were' commissioned officers—a "radi- cal departure from the theory of the republic that a private's injuries should be compensated equally with a general's. Last winter there were 6364 of these officers on the payroll. .Hundreds are in the full-time employ of the Federal! goVernenent. , Evi- dence on which some of them proved their disability was tenuous in the extreme. Yet with this law, Con- gress handed an ex -officer a present of perhaps $1800 a year for life, re- gardless of whether he later recov- ered -from his disability. ,The- ofe ficer of lowest • rank in this group, with his 30 per cent, disability, rates almost 10 per cent. higher in com- pensation than a totally disablea private. Nor is the retired pay all that this group gets. They are also entitled to free medical service, to the bonus if of rank lower than major, to in- surance privileges, and even to the purchase of household supplies from army stores at cost.

His travelling expenses are paid and he gets $2.65 additional each day while he is under observation. Fre- quently observation periods had for -- several weeks. Government gener- osity goes further. A former officer went to a government hospital to be operated on for cancer. A free op- eration, skilfully 'performed, saved his life. He claimed the operation had visited disability on him—he could no longer bowl—and he is now receiving monthly compensation just. as though the trouble had been caus- ed in action by a bullet" The law authorizes , such •clahns. In many ways Congress has upset the original simple provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act. It passed a law permitting any one -who had allowed his term insurance to lapse, and who afterward became totally disabled from any cause, to have his. insurance put back in force from the date of the disability. The law ev- en permits the estate of dead men to - revive the insurance after the sol- • dier's death: The widow of a veteran who dropped his, insurance in 1921. and died of tuberculosis in' 1930, -can, be showing that her husband had at least symptoms of tuberculosis be- fore 190, obtain $67.50 a ,month un- til theS10,000 policy is expended, and also obtain in one lump sum an amount equal to $57.50 a month frons 1920 to 1930. Another form of favoritism to vet- erans is the order that veterans may be put at the top of Civil Service lists - In 1930 the National Civil' Service, Reform league reported that, out of 60 lists of persons eligible for Civil Service appointments, 8'70 disalbleit vteterans preceded, applicants with - higher marks; and 269 of these vet- erans who had failed to earn normal passing grade on their examinations had been placed ahead of 18,00n. bet- ter qualified applicants. Thus the veterans' lobby has been constantly getting grants of money and special 'privileges, often for men who suffered least in the war. Al- ready one out of every six men who, served in the army is receiving bene- fits. If the trend continues at the present rate, veterans' relief will swallow the Treasury in 21 years. cease with federal payments. Many States and cities have added kicern- ties of their own. To obtain federal payments, our former soldiers no longer need to prove that a physical difficulty was connected with, war service. Under Aet of ICongress of July 3, 1930, those suffering from any malady dis- abling them permanently may receive" regular compensation.
