OT-22 Notes from A Woman's Workshop Robin Hood’s Giant New package xs ROY FAIRLES, OF LUCAN, DIES AT STRATFORD Professional Cards OUR OWN FAULT There has been a good deal of discussion in the papers lately relative to pensions^ which have not been adjusted to meet the greatly increased cost of living. We note that the Government has taken steps to remedy this condition where it applies to mothers* allowances. However, nothing has yet been done to alleviate the discomforts of those old people whose only support is their meagre allowance. Many, whose thrift and industry have provided them with support for their declining years, are Inclined to contend that an age of poverty is the result of shiftlessness, a point which we are not always able to dispute. However, there are many who have never been able to save, due to lack of trained skill, ill health or bad investments. Neither do all have an equal start in life, for some have the means of prospering handed to them by their parents, and there is no standard of business ability by which all have the same chance to succeed in their undertakings. It is beyond contention that the old age pension has been reduced to a racket. We all know situations where old people have deliberately given away their property so as to be eligible for pen­ sions. Public indignation is also quite pardonable in those far from un­ common cases, where children who are perfectly well able to support par­ ents, foist this responsibility upon the public. But it is truly a pity when defenceless old folks must suffer because of this abuse of privilege. We understand that every district has machinery for the investigation of the i merits of the cases where the pension is sought. How, then, have these injustices been allowed to occur? it seems that the crux of the whole matter lies in our own indifference nr cowai'dice. We have plenty of laws governing crime, but we put no teeth in them. We will criticize but do nothing about it* Bootleggers flourish openly but no one" will inform; traffic laws are constantly flouted, but the criminal goes merrily along upon his menacing career; civic representatives are the focus of public displeasure but no one turns out to nominations. The policy of "letting John do it” has brought us to the place where our much-vaunted demo­ cracy Is a laughing stock. If the foui' freedoms are to have any place in our national life we will have to take a great deal more personal respon­ sibility in the conduct of public affairs.

Urging that every woman to get the last possible bit of out of available material, she said that there was no shortage of goods in Canada but that so much of it was needed for the armed forces and war workers. Comparing the need of the soldier with the civilian, Mrs. Aitken said last year Johnny’s complete outfit, including blankets, took only about 9 pounds of wool. It takes 106 pounds to outfit the soldier in his first year. Besides the armed forces’ needs are requirements of those making the tools of war. Last year these people used 3,000,000 .work shirts, 3,500,000 }pairs of overalls and 1,- 000,000 pairs of slacks, she said.

SF434 DfPARTMENT OF NATIONAL WAR 5£RVKES HAtlONAl SAlVAOt DIVISION I The Ontario Government has cided to institute next fall a system of “state scholarship” to aid stud­ ents of known capabilities who otherwise couldn’t afford to com­ plete their education, Dr, Duncan McArthur, education minister, said in the budget debate in the Ontario Legislature on Monday. He said 400 scholarships would be awarded, valued at $450 each, to allow secondary school graduates to, enter any university in the province, the Ontario Agricultural College, or any of the normal schools. Assis­ tance, the nature of which he did not disclose, also would be given to deserving students who wished to complete secondary school educa- [ tions. 1 The scholarship would be award­ ed on the joint basis of need and scholarship, and, Dr. McArthur said, “it is equally important that pupils whose parents can afford to educate them do not benefit.” He said the scheme would dove­ tail with the federal scheme where­ by university students are assisted in certain courses after their first year, Division of scholarships Will be based on populations, with a small­ er unit of population used in rural areas. As a result of this* rural areas actually would receive more scholarships than urban centres, the minister said.
