V Many might follow the example of a woman in one of our cities. She was 43 years of age, had no heirs and her salary over._and above her weekly expenditures was laid away to keep her -in_ the days when the shadows begin to `lengthen. She had saved $1,000. Itwas. drawing 3 per cent. compound -interest, or in- creasing at a little better than $30 a year. `She heard of the Government Annuities scheme, and `she im-' mediately transferred her $1,000 to the Government on account of the purchase of an Annuity. payable at age 60. Having no Theirs she pur- chased on" Plan "B," ' and the An- nuity which a pa ment of $1,000 se- cured for her at was $222.60. But, shortly after -her $i,_ooo had been paid to the Government she.became an invalid and was totally inca ac- itated from performing 'er `qty. -Her case came under the provision of the Act which provides that if invalidity or disaublement occurs a person, if he or she has paid in sul- cient to secure an Annuity of not less than $50, may draw the Annuity. though then under 55. years of age. The payment which she. `had made gives her an- Annuity of $69.67 '30 long as she may live.,Ii the, period before she became disabled had been 5 years she would havehad an An- nuity of $88.50, and at 55 she could have had her contract. converted into an Immediate Annuity of- $147.50. It will, therefore, be- seen that `if she could avail herself of the provisions of the Act at anv. time after her $i,ooo had been paid, she would have :had an income ` over twice as large as she would have re-. ceivedeihad she left the `money in the Savings Bank.
