cAfsADA's EXAMPLE

u VIII not be eOntended that ths
armistice came as a greater surprise
Z 70 Canada than 70 the United States
Yet the provision already made b,
Canada for its discharged soldiers IS
worth taking into account. not in a
spirit Of defogatlon OF our own in
stitutions in general. but because #
furnishes an example OF prompt ac-
ton that is worthy Of emulation.
The director Of repatriation at Of
tawa now announces that the govern
saent IS prepared TO pay its soldiers
a war service gratnity" 70 tide them
over the period Of Unemployment fol-
lowing their discharge. The gratuity
IS given In addition 70 any back paw.
pension Or other allowances TO which
the soldier may be entitled, and also in
addition to the care. attention and
service which the government win de-
vote in order to restore the man to
civil life.
The gFatuity consists Of a continue
tion Of the soldiers pay field allow -
ance and separation allowance for a
period beyond his discharge. and is
graded according TO length and char
actor OF service. There IS a maximum
Of six months pay for those who have
been overseas and whose total service
amounts to three years or more There
Is a minimum Of one months pay and
allowances to which every soldier is
held to BE entitled as q matter Of
right Men who are being cared for
by the department Of Soldiers Civil
Rs-establishment VIII receive their
gratuities as s0cn as they cease to
receive full pay and allowances under
the present -arran cement
The precise nature Of the relief ex-
tended to these soldiers IS not so i'm
portant as is the fact that something
is now being done and that the ma
ehinery OF the gratutities department
is II running order. By this token,
says the Canadian director OF repatria- (
ton. Canada viii record her appre-
citation OF her soldiers and sailors TO
a degree more generous than that
shown BY any other nation"
Pride in the achievement is war
ranted. Of course But quite as much
emphasis is deserved by the prompt I
ness with Y hich the scheme was for /
mulated and put into effect as BY the
degree" in which relief is given The
crisis in the life Of the soldier is most
likely TO occur Immediately following
his discharge Prompt payment would
seem TO be even more desirable than

Your life you will have many occasions
10 use il to advantage. II is a paper
that may be easily lost or mislaid and
when once lost it is gone forever.
II is suggested that YOU go to the

record may be of untold value to you
or your children in years to come.
Do4not neglect recording SO valuable
