Mrs. A. A. Rose, of Timmins, Gives Thoughtâ€" ful Summary of Canada‘s Place in the War Effort. hno The determination of the. Englishâ€" speakin~ people never to go to war had meant that we are richer than any peoples in the world, continued Miss Thompson. . This determination is written into no treaty, but is in the hearts of the people. A man is rich in this day‘s world who has a free country on which no bombs are falling. A "flophouse" in Canada or the United States toâ€"aay, is pleasanter than Buckingham Palace, because the people are free from the most abject and naked terror that comes from the skies. building a heaven in the The victory loan campaign, SA Thompson, is A haraâ€"pressed g( ment saying "please." Canada‘ ernment is not saying as the §« ment in Germany "cough up or No, she is asking her people for with good interest, and no inves is as safe as an investment in country, because the fate and 1 of one‘s country is our own fat fortune. "It is true that I do not understand ( men very well, and I have never unâ€" derstood the world they have made,"| said the speaker, adding that when | men wished to flatter her, they said / she had a man‘s mind. This, she sald, was not true. "I have a woman‘s j mind," stressed Miss Thompson, "and; I understand women. It is our world + that is at stake, a world that is base(‘ll upon the homeâ€"A mother, a father, a child." ‘ Miss Thompson went on to show how . Hiter has torn children from their homes, has taught them to worship steel, and to look gupon their parents with scorn. He has demoralized and degraded love, and he would bring about the complete ruin of society 1tâ€" self. His world is threatened with | the emergence of a civilization withâ€" out a soul, where there is no place for | women except as cooks, hoysekeepers, and breeders. "Kvery woman knows that humau‘ beings are not produced in machines. °_ Every child is a separate mdivid'ual.§ and that is why Hitler‘s mechanized | world would ruin civilization. Explaining that perhaps it was beâ€" cause women of poreer days side by side with their men, Miss Thomp:\on! again pointed out that Canada and | the United States were the first two. nations to give up war. These women of the past, just as the women of toâ€". Gay, set their hearts against WAT, . ul war came and came again. Army, airforee, andâ€" navy must by an international, federal movemeni, to bring about eternal peace. f "Women of Canada, we struggle to end this cult of manhood s destrucâ€" tion," concluded Miss Thompson. "We fight to save, in order to rebuild," anc then, she quoted from the American poet, Elliott, who resides in Englana. church for all of us, work for ail of us, God‘s world for al of us."

A. Rose, who gave a practical talk based upon the reports of the House of Commons, and an outline of what Canada is doing and proposes to do in the current fisâ€" cal year. "Not all can fight in the front lines or make supplies, but almost everyone can help to provide the money to feed, equip and transport the fightâ€" ing forces, and to make the weapons and munitions of war," said Mrs. Rose. She dealt in detail with the reports of the Minitser of Munitions and the Minister of Defence, following tlfeir recent visits to Britain,. The of these reports is to emphasize and translate into the most effective tions the desire of the Canadian peoâ€" ple to put forth their utmost sirength into the cause of freedom and to get further information as to how Canâ€" ada‘s resources might be used to achieve a maximum effort. Mrs. Rose showed how the proâ€" eramme for this year includes tife exâ€" pansion of the Royal Canadian Navy, and dealt with the army and the plahs made by the government for it. She spoke in some detail about the vigorâ€" ous and energetic development of the air training plan, and drew attention to the vast increases in production of war equipment arranged. The shipâ€"building and aircraft indusâ€" tries were outlined by the speaker, who paid tribute to British women. ‘They have met the great emergency very calmly and capably, and everywhere they are playing their part with digâ€" nity and selfâ€"reliance. Canada‘s War Appropriation bill for 1941 was discussed. This bill pledges Canada to the most stupendous effort in national history. During the preâ€" sent fiscal year, Canada‘s war effort will cost her people $1,450,000,000.00. Tn addition to what is being appropriated for direct war effort Canada will send to Great Britain $1,500,000,00 worth of munitions, raw materials and agriâ€" cultural products, during the current To meet the total burden during this year, Canada will require 44 per cent of the national income. ‘The estimate of Canada‘s gross income for the year is Rose of C as t people duress.‘ Mrs. thanks Vietory zens. | chair >( Pensions One of Chief Subjects at Legion Convention Address Officer WA The independent spirit of the Canaâ€" dian soldier in making light of his trouble worked against them when apâ€" plying for pensions, because Mr. Hale said,. the soldier would not apply for pension until he was down and out, and then he found himself «lost in the mysteries and intricacies of the pentâ€" sion act." Injury or disablement is the basis for pension, Mr. Hale explained. "We must estimate the damage, how much it is for a finger, a toe, an eye, a leg and so on."‘ he stated. "We have a fair system. All men are treated alike, e, "1s an Canada | thorough ealth 0 _ the behind James Keene ex.end to the speaker on be y Loan committee at Mrs. Wendell Brewer during the meeting.

Mr. Hale at the outset of his speech paid tribute to the ladies of the Leâ€" gion‘s Auxiliary. "«Women took more punishment than we did in the war," he claimed. Legion pension offices are located across Canada, and are available. to any exâ€"serviceman or his family. The government, Mr. Hale said keeps a close check on all applications or claims, and denies a pension to any person who is not entitled to one. Keep IlInesses on Record For this reason Mr. Hale urged exâ€" servicemen not to beâ€" reticent about their illnesses or wounds, but to keep a record of them. their death their widows will then have something on which to base their claims. Referring to medical examinations for the presentâ€"day army, he called atâ€" tention to the fact that approximately 20,000 men have been. discharged as unfit,. This was despite a Legion reâ€" commendation that only men of. Class "A" category be accepted into the army Legislation has been passed, he statâ€" ed, by which pensionsâ€"~are only given for something that actually happened in the course of army" duty. It is the Legion‘s proposal that men who have been discharged will receive no less than those of theâ€"last war, but the problem is a difficult one, he said. Presenting interesting statistics, Mr. Hale revealed that during the past 13 months 3,667 claims have been handled in connection with the present . war, and 945 in connection . with the. last war. He told of the thousands of letâ€" ters on file, and the myriad records kept of thousands of individual cases. One thing which has been abolished, Mr. Hale stated is the dead line for making application for _ pension, "I hope it has been abolished. for all time," he said. "They first made it seven years, then nine years, â€" then they made it 1940, then 1942, but now we have wiped it out altogether, "I hope for the day when every vetâ€" eran‘s widow will receive a pension," Mr. Hale concluded, "because no one is more deserving than the widow. They are pathetic figures relegated to the sidelines after a lifetime of serâ€" vice." Through the help of all branches.
