A MESSAGE TO RELATIVES OF THOSE IN THE ARMED FORCES
7
When your boys and your girls come Horne, when they lay aside the uniform, when they go out
into the world as normal peace-loving Canadians, what lies ahead? Can they pick up their lives
as civilians, where they laid them down, months or long years ago? Are there plans to help them
do the things they wanted to do before the war? Will they have security? Can they continue
education, or receive needed training? Will they be assisted in home owning, or to establish
their own business, and will they be enabled to pick up their family life once again?
These are questions which concern all those Canadians who have loved ones in the services. They
are questions which this series of advertisements is designed to answer.
OPPORTUNITY IS THE OBJECTIVE
Canada has been making plans for your boy’s and
your girl’s return to civilian life since early in 1940.
These plans are in effect and operating now. The
aim is that every person who has served shall
have opportunity. Thousands, already back in
civilian life, have benefitted by training, by main
tenance grants, by advice of departmental officials,
and by the social security provisions. There is
ample help for those men and women who want to
help themselves.
ASSISTANCE ON DISCHARGE
I
When your boys and girls are discharged from
the services, they will be given:
A clothing allowance of $100.00 (if discharged
after August 1, 1944).
Their pay to date of discharge.
One month’s additional pay, if they have 183
days’ continuous service, as a rehabilitation
grant.
4. A railway warrant home or to the place of
enlistment.
Dependents will receive:
1. Their normal dependents’ allowance to date •
of discharge, with assigned pay.
2. An additional month's dependents’ allowance,
with assigned pay, if there has been 183 days’
continuous service.
Your boy or girl will be allowed to retain certain
items of uniform. They will be given a complete
medical and, dental examination and will be eligible
for free needed treatment for a year after discharge.
Those discharged not physically fit, in need of
continuing treatment and unable to work, Will have
their pay and allowances .of rank continued for at
least a year if necessary and, if the disability is
pensionable, for as long as curative treatment is
beneficial. AU are interviewed by Veterans’ Welfare
Officers and told of the re-establishment programme.
WAR SERVICE GRATUITY
On discharge, those enlisted to serve outside
Canada, or those who served in the Aleutian
Islands, are eligible for a war service gratuity. It
provides $7.50 for each thirty days’ service in
Canada and the Western Hemisphere and $15.00
for each thirty days’ service overseas or in the
Aleutian Islands. For those with overseas service
or with service in the Aleutian Islands, there is
an additional seven days' pay and allowances for
each six months of such service. Payments will be
made at the end of each month in the months follow
ing discharge. Complete details of the war service
gratuity will be given in a later advertisement.
RE-ESTABLISHMENT CREDIT
In addition to the war service gratuity, there is a
re-establishment credit of $7-50 for each thirty
days’ service in the Western Hemisphere and $15.00
for each thirty days' service overseas. This is for
things such as the purchase or repair of a home,
the buying of furniture, a business, or government
life insurance, and for certain other purposes which
will assist your boy or your girl in becoming re
established. This credit, which is reduced by grants
given for training or education, or under the
Veterans’ Land Act, is primarily for those who
do not wish assistance under these three plans.
TRAINING AND EDUCATION
The surest way to permanent employment—the
thing your boy or girl will want—is a skill to get
and to hold a job. Canada’s plans give opportunity
to acquire needed skill either at university or in
preparation for a business or industrial career. Fees
are paid by the state, along with living allowances,
while training or continuing education.
WHILE ILL OR UNEMPLOYED
There is protection against illness or unemployment
by maintenance allowances which can be drawn
against in the first eighteen months after discharge.
There is also protection under the Unemployment
Insurance Act for those who enter insured em
ployment and remain in it fifteen weeks.
SPECIAL
Purchases Farm
Lome Ridley has bought the 100-
?e farm on concession 11, lot 9».
Blanshard Township, from the es
tate of the late Allan Crozier, where
he had been a tenant for the past
10 rears.
RETURN TO FORMER JOBS
If your boy or girl held a civilian position before
enlisting, and was not engaged to replace somebody
already in the forces, and if the position still exists,
and your boy or girl is capable of filling it, it is the
employer’s duty, under the law of Canada,
to reinstate him or her in that position with
seniority. Application for reinstatement must be
made to the former employer within three months
of discharge from the forces or from hospital.
HOME OWNING AND FARMING
There is provision to assist city and other workers
to have homes of their own, either on small acreages
of land outside the high taxation area, or in town,
under the National Housing Act. Full-time farmers
1 can be given financial assistance in full-time farming,
while commercial fishermen may secure financial
help in getting their own homes, on small acreages
of land, and in buying needed fishing equipment.
FREE TREATMENT
In the year following discharge, service men and
women are eligible for free treatment, hospitaliza
tion and allowances for Any condition, even if not
the result of service. Pensioners are entitled to this
for life for their pensioned disability.
Veterans’ Welfare Officers are stationed in key
centres throughout Canada. They ate the
friends of Ex-Service men and women. It is
their duty to advise and assist all Ex-Service
personnel with their re-establishment problems.
If there is anything about the Rehabilitation
programme which you do not understand, con
sult your nearest Veterans’ Welfare Officer.
THE POLICY ON PENSIONS
Canada’s Pension Act is . administered by dn
independent commission, all former members of the
services. Any permanent disability suffered over
seas, not a result of misconduct, is pensionable.
Where service is in Canada only, the disability
must be a result of service,
