proposed to grant them an annual pension as long as they remain
widows, and the resources of the Association continue available.
CONCLUDING REMARKS.

Effectually to prevent the recurrence of such distressing scenes as
those which gave rise to the formation of this Association, the Com-
mittee have had in consideration a plan which it is hoped might tout
materially to raise the condition of the soldier's wile, and secure a
provision for the soldier's widow,
As there Is no probability, under existing circumstances, of so rais-
ing the pay of the soldier as to enable him when married to apnoVtion
a sufficient share of it to his family while he is Cu active service, th,
Committee are of opinion, that a National Fund should be established,
of which the invested capital of this Avsociation shall be the founda-
tion, and to which the public and the soldier shall be invited to sub-
scribe annnally.
This find to provide pensions for widows and orphans, as well as
temporary assistance to who and family, who, having become sub-
scribers, may be ordered on active sevice.
