Phooey! \Mow Long to Wait 1 When are we to be transferred? When are we to begin our "mudeating" career? Quote Mr. Power: "He gave no indication as to when the gereral demobilization plan would start, but RCAF when the age limit was dropâ€" ped to 17 years, back in. September, 1943. On a Saturday the order was announced in the newspapers, and on the followihg Wednesday he had enâ€" listed. Look at him now, tears coming steadily down his youngish cheeks: "Dear Mom, I‘ve got some bad news for you. It seems . o Yes, there sxts the Youth ot Toâ€" : 'l‘ypical Canadian Boy morrow, Canada‘s filture, a bitter feelâ€" ing in his heart, trying desperately to control his emotions and not to burst out in tears, lest he should. emâ€" barrass himself before his fellowâ€" companions. There sits the typical Canadian boy, a lad who after nine months of air force service is not quite old enough for callâ€"up by the Canadâ€" ian Army. What, are his thoughts? Should he wait for his call? Or should he benefit by this bitter experience and decide to be a Zombie? Wouuld you blame him for his decision? Can you the public, critize this boy‘s decision not to offer his life for his country once more after the offer has been turned down by some weighted-doyn, medalâ€"bedecked hero of the last war? Little Doubt About Decision We know what his decision .will be. We know that the thought of not jJoinâ€" ing Active will never enter his mind. Even mfiter that heartâ€"breaking exâ€" perience he and 4,000 others will decide to volunteer for active service; and if T understand human nature he will probably volunteer for the most dan- gerous task in the army, the airborne division, if the army will permit him to do so. YÂ¥es, he finds it quite difficult to concentrate on his letter to his folks. But he finally manages to close by saying: "Don‘t worry, Mom, ever}thing will turn out for the better." ‘There before you, dear public are the facts, cold but true. That lad is typical of the 4,200 airmen involved. They all feel the same contempt toâ€" a reasonable speculation seemed to be that this would follow the END OFP THE WAR IN EUROPE." Shall we be forced to continue our present "Mopâ€" pingâ€"Up Operations" until the war in Europe is over? °* Here beside me sits a lad of 18, a lad who ever since the age of 7 had his eyes toward the sky and his heart in aviation. For years he has been planning for the day when he would be old enough to enlist in the RCAF. For years he constructed model aircraft studied theory of flight, aerodynamâ€" ics and aircraft recognition. At 15 he was a member of the Air Cadets; at i7 he had already enlisted in the RC AF: a youngster who, having reached his 17th birthday, immediately reâ€" ceived his parents consent and enlisted.

While pension rates are not made public by the Pension Commission the Canadian Legion has, through thousands of cases handled, been able to arrive at pretty definite conclusions in regard to specified types of wounds ‘r injuries. ‘\(This is the first in a series of ten weekly articles written especially for The Advance by Richard Hale, chief pension officer of the Canadian Legion, Ottawa headquarters.) (By Richard Hale) Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 18 (Special) â€" The question of pensions for men of the armed forces who are wounded or inâ€" jured, become sick and disabled, is one of the most discussed in Canada today. At the same time there is probably no other problem relating to men of the forces that is less understood. In the first place the amounts of pension payable are generally grossly exaggerated in the average mind. Whenever a pension is mentioned the uninitiated visualizes some sum rangâ€" ing between $40 and $150 per month. While it is true that pensions do run as high as $150, in exceptional cases, where the man is totally disabled, it is equally true that the majority of pensionable disabilities areâ€" â€" much smaller. Disability pensions are fixed in accordance with the degree of disâ€" ability deemed to exist as related to the ordinary labour market. ‘The determination of the amount of a disability pension in respect to a disease is a very difficult and highly technical matter based generally on medical opinion as to the degree of impairment of the organs affected.
