Ca) The war service gratuity. under
which the soldier or sailor who has
served three years overseas is entitled
TO six months pay and allowances. and
for shorter periods in proportion. Those
who served only in Canada or England
about half that amount.
Cb) The pensions act. under which
disabled war veterans are provided for.
and the dependents of those who made
the supreme sacrifice are assured an
income larger than is provided by any
allied country.

Hustling Village
Orleans Housing Problem.

This problem has become so acute
as to materially retard the natural
growth and development of our vii
lage. To Illustrate: the Parker Young
Co. are short of help because families
who would come are unable to find
places to live. Even single men find
1t difficult to secure board and room.
Many men are driving several miles
every day to and from their work for
the same reason. =
R. w. Eldridge told the writer that
he recently hired several women in
one week to work in the handkerchief
factory and that only about one
fourth of them could find board and
rooms.
Every season brings its difficulties
in securing places for our school
teachers.
Retired farmers seeking the advan-
tages of the village find it difficult to
buy or rent suitable homes, and many
very desirable citizens have been
forced to find houses in towns whose
business did not so fully utilize every
available tenement.
Thrifty young couples with few
hundred dollars in the bank would
gladly buy houses and use the rent
money to make payments on a home.
Many small families among the
newcomers are forced to board for
weeks before they can secure even
two rooms in which to begin house
keeping. There is a great demand
for small tenements for light house
keeping. Twenty-Five to 40 tenements
of various sizes could doubtless be
rented in a single week.
This situation comes because of
thrifty business conditions in Or
leans. The house problem has not
kept pace with the business develop
ment of the village.
Now this condition is all dead
wrong. To say that does not mend
matters in the least. The remedy is
more homes, more houses, more ten
ements, more people and more bust
ness. Why not? Is not that a vi
sion of something better for Orleans ?
| IF so, how convert the vision into a
reality?
! Some communities meet this situa-
ton through building and loan asso-
Citations, as we'll as through individu-
al initiative What is the best thing
to do?
Why not get together and talk this
matter over now so as to be ready
for next spring. o. w. l..
