Once more, now that the war is out of the way, with its overwhelming tragedies, we begin to worry about the health of the nation. About six or séven years ago the United States developed a national health measure which is considered one of the most progressive moves since the compulsory pasteurization of milk. By federal law, bakers or millers were required to' add certain vitamins to white flour, to bring it up to approximately the same nutritional level as dark flour. : This was undoubtedly a wise move. The Americans evidently realized that no matter how' much nutritionists drum away about the value of dark bread, people won't eat it if they don't like it. The answer was to add vitamins to 'white bread, which in no way changed the taste, appearance, or baking qualities of the flour. Bread fortified in this manner is labelled "enriched." Such reputable institutions as the Mayo Clinic, the American Medical Association, the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. National Research Council helped put enrichment across and have given it unusually high praise after careful study of the results. Latest news from Canada is that the Department of Health is still trying to get us to eat the darker, "Canada Approved" bread. It would seem worthwhile to investigate enrichment on the American plan. * Meters Profitable Press reports from other Ontario centres where parking meters have been installed in recent months indicate that | they have been a good revenue producr and in addition have gone a long way toward solving the knotty problem of parking. However, even though the meters ordered by the City Council some months ago have still not arrived, the city is not losing' money. Under the terms of its contract with the manufacturers, the City is to receive $10 for gvery day after October 1 that the meters are not in operation. This means that, counting today, the city is $460 to the good. Some idea of the revenue producing ability of the meters may be gained from the fact that during the five months they have been operating in Cornwall the cash return has been between $5,000 and $6,000. In Welland an average of $725 is collected from the meters every month. Some municipalities have run into difficulties with slugs, buttons and other "foreign" matter being put into the meters. But this was when they were first installed and can be regarded as a natural urge on the part of drivers to get even. Once they become accustomed to the innovation little trouble is experienced. New Discovery For The Suffering A scientific discovery announced last week by the Amer- ican Association for the Advancement of Science may bring relief to countless thousands through the use of penicillin. The discovery, according to "Science," official organ of the Association, is that there has been developed the first syn- thetic penicillin, a chemical advance opening the way to new and different kinds of the wonder drug to combat diseases. It is stated that the discovery also may lead ultimately to the production of the drug in greater and cheaper amounts than can be given now by moulds in the natural process. making of penicillin by artificial or chemical means has been sought for years. : Some of the diseases afflicting humanity against which the present types of penicillin are not effective are malaria, ,the common cold, influenza, tuberculosis and infantile para- lysis. Science may yet through penicillin in other forms be able to render practical help to those afflicted with these and other diseases. Men are busy in laboratories in many countries, and aided by science, th€y will make other impor- tant discoveries. 1t is perhaps well to point out that only small amounts of synthetic penicillin have heen: produced so far, and much work remains to be done before the synthetic process can compete with the mould-growth methods of making the . drug. In the progress made, however, there is that gleam of hope for suffering mankind, which stands out boldly against other announcements of the day in the fields of economic, political, social and industrial fields which may or may not be of more than passing importance, The development "of sci- ence in the field of medicine and surgery is always, we feel sure, news of paramount importance, Co "The | eo Other Editors IF THERE'S A GARAGE (Toronto Telegram) : The old French rally call was "A chicken in every pot."

Legion Is Watchdog Of Veterans' Rights The Dominion Service Bureau of The Legion is a repository of prec- ious records. There are approxi- mately 180,000 individual case files containing the histories of men and women, who served in World Wars I and II, also of their dependents. These files represent claims of var- ious types in which the Legion has been asked by the claimant to sub- stantiate and secure recognition by making representations to the au- thorities concerned. From all parts of Canada, British Isles and Do- minions, and also from the US.A. and almost every country in the world, some enquiries and claims of all' descriptions, It will be realiz- ed that, when a veteran dies leav- ing dependents, these records of his military and post-discharge history are often invaluable in de- termining whether or not his death is related to his war service and the establishment of pension for the dependents The services of The Legion are entirely free, and given to all who apply for same, re- gardless whether they are members or not. The Canadian Pension Act is the law of the land, and is administered by the Canadian Pension Commis- sion. The members of this Com- mission are all veterans of one war or the other. They have a highly competent medical and legal staff; and besides their head office in Ot- tawa, they have a branch in every Military District in Canada. The Dominion Service Bureau at Le- gion Headquarters is operated, un- der the direction of the Dominion Executive Council, by the Chief Pensions Officer of The Legion and a staff of trained Service O- icers, together with an experienced stenographic and filing staff. Daily contact is maintained with the Pen- sion Commission, Department of Veterans' Affairs and War Veter- ans' Allowance Board and many other Government departments. The preparation and presentation of claims to pension is one of the most important - functions of the Bureau; but, in addition, other types of claims form a large part There are con- | stant references with various Gov- ernment officials and, in spite' of the controversial character cf the work, it may be stated that rela- tions are friendly. The Pension Commission is a judical body and, while The Legion does not neces- sarily agree with all their decis- sions, it is recognized that they weigh the evidence impartially and their judgments are the result of honest conviction, It is also true that, as evidenced by hundreds of decisions, the Commission are al- ways prepared to change an ad- verse decision against a veteran, when new evidence or a different interpretation of same is presented to them. The same is true also of the War Veterans' Allowance Board and the Department of Veterans' Affairs generally. To illustrate this further, and to | show the dogged persistence with which the Bureay continues its ef- forts to secure justice, a case re- cently brought to a successful con- clusion is described. From 1916 to 1919, a Canadian served in World War 1, and was a sergeant at the time of his discharge as medically unfit, During his service he had much exposure and when discharg- ed had trouble with his feet. This was diagnosed as Hammer Toes, and the Pension Commission decid ed that these were congenital in or- igin and aggravated during service. The degree of aggravation was fix- ed at one-third of 'the entire dis- ability, so that pension was paid at 5%.

Following this, ' the Commission changed the degree of aggravation to one-quarter and the entire disability was raised . to 40 per cent. and the pensionable dis- ability was, therefore, 10° per cent. By 1929, the amputation of the |. three toes on each foot had caus- ed increased disability especially in the muscles of his legs and he was then considered to be 100 per cent. disabled, and the one-quarter of this due to aggravation on service was, therefore, pensionable at 25 per cent. It was then that this man asked the Dominion Service Bureau to try and obtain a greater degree of aggravation and increas- ed pension. The case had been re- vised twice by the Pension Com- mission in 1928 and former decis- ions confirmed and in 1929 the Federal Appeal Board had confirm- ed the judgment of the Pension Commission. In 1930, due largely to the efforts of The Legion, an en- tirely new system of pension ma- chinery was created and, following this, the case was again reviewed by the Pension Commission, who adhered to their former decision. In 1931, their decision was furth- er confirmed by The Pension Tri- | bunal, and in 1933 on appeal by The Pension Appeal Court. Jt should be made clear that all these hearings were based on the argu- ment that the whole disability was incurred during serviec and was not a pre-enlistment condition be- cause the man had been accepted on enlistment as physically fit. From 1933 to 1946, further ef- forts were made to change the de- gree of aggravation, but all were unsuccessful. Yet so convinced were the Dominion Service Bureau of the justice of the claim that they continued their efforts and finally they were successful. The Pension Commission changed the degree of aggravation to Three-Fifths of the Entire Disability, which meant that the man being 100 per cent, 'dis- abled received 60 per cent. disabil- ity pension, Seventeen years of persistence had finally ended suc- cessfully and this veteran, now 62 years of age, has at last received that justice which The Canadian Legion strives to uphold. An ex- tract from a letter written by this veteran speaks for itself: "Since receiving the great news, I have been at a loss to find words of appreciation. I shall always feel very grateful for your faith in my claim and for your persistence in staying with it when all looked hopeless." During the month of October, the Dominion Service Bureau THIS ONES LIABLE TO HURT were successful in 146 Pen- sion Claims relating to both wars and in 30 other miscellaneous claims related to War Veterans' Al- lowance--Medical--Hospital Theat- ment--also adjustments of Hospital Allowances and War Service Gra- tuities, A grand total of $30,894.73 was secured Retroactive Payments of Pension, etc., to veterans of both wars and their dependents, while in a great many cases, financial security has been achieved for their future.
