THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1930 PAGE SEVEN Latest News of Stock Markets, Grain and Produce Exchanges WAR VETERANS ALLOWANCE BILL [5 INTRODUCED . (Contimied fcom Page 1) in Canada and England only, but who are.drawing a pendjon for dis- ability, or who have received final payments for pension or have com- muted their pension for disabilities between five and fourteen per cent. Administration The next clauses of the bill deal with the method of administration. The aet is toshe administered by a commitfee entirely apart from the pension board, to be known as the War Veterans' Allowance commit- tee, composed of the deputy-min- ister and assistant deputy-minis- ter of pensions and national health, and not more than five and not less than three other persons appointed from"the staff of the department. The deputy-minister, and, in his absence the assistant deputy-mia- ister, shall be the chairman of the committee.

ONE 378 have power to appoint a person or persons to hear gnd receive evi dence in respect to any applications for allowances, Whether this means that one person shall be appointed to visit various centres, or whether men shall be named wn varjous stra- tegic centres of localities, has not yet been clearly determined. Qualifications The qualifications for allowance are clearly set forth iu the bill. An allowance will be paid to every war veteran, who, on attaining the age of gixty, has less than $730 a year in the case of married men. or less than $366 a year in the case of single men or widowers without minor ehildren. Any veteran who has not reached the age of sixty, but who in the opinion of the com- mittee, ig, by reason of mental or physical disability, is unemploy- able, and has by reason of that con- dition less than the incomes stated above, will also be eligible for the lowance. If after receiving an al- the veteran must have resided in Canada continuously for the three years before his application for al- lowance. 1f, after rceeiving an al- lowanco, a veteran leaves Canada, the allowance will cease, but it may be reinstated on his return to Canada. In the case of a veteran who is tnfit to manage his. own affairs, the committee may pay the allowance to other persons for ad- ministration on his behalf. Amount of Allowance The amount of the allowance to be paid is approximately the same as that under the old age pensions scheme, For a married man Hy ing with his wife, it shall be forty dollars per month, subject to re- duction by the amount of his in- come in excess of $250 a year. In the case of a single man, it shall be twenty dollars a month, subject to réeductioh by the amount of his income in excess of $125 a year. No allowance will be paid for any man who is receiving care or treat- ment in departmental institutions for the insane: The allowance will be suspended when those receiving it are sent to jail fcr any offence, while they are receiving care in any departmental institution, or while they are absent from Canada. On the death of the veteran, payment ceases, except that the wife re- ceives two months allowance after his death to give her an opportun- ity to make provision for her fu- ture, Veterans' Income For the purpose of determining a veteran's income. the bill pro- vides that it shall not include any income from the property in which 'the veteran resides when it is as- sessed for legs than $2,000, nor the equity on any property, assessed at under $2,000, in which he may reside. Nor will it include any amount of $120. Additional pen- slon which the vsteran may be drawing as clothing allowance, or on account of children, shall also be excluded in making up the amount of income for the purposes of the act. Where a veteran owns property and is not residing in fit, his income from that property shall be counted as five per cent. of the assessed value in excess of any encumbrance there may be on the property. It is also provided that any transfers of property which \iave been made less than five years before an application for allowance is made shall be deemed to have been made so that the veteran could apply for an allowance un- der the act. These are the main clauses of the bill. The others refer to mat ters of routine and administration, rather than with the terms of the allowances, One other clause, how- ever, stipulates that, in 'the case of a veteran receiving an allow- ance being granted a retroactive pensfon, the amount he has re- ceived in allowance will be deducts ed from the zetroactive pension payment, on the assumption that had he been receiving this pen- sion all along, he would not have been eligible for the allowanée. It provides, too, that zny allowances made under the act are not subject to alienation, transfer or seizure. The date fixed for the act coming into effect is September 1, 1930, Not To Replaca Pension One important phase of the bill in which the Canadian Legion 1s greatly interested is that it is not intended to take the place of pen- sion where « veteran is able to es- tablish a right to pension for war disability. War veterans who have disabilities which can be proven as attributable to war service wii still come under the provisions of the pension act, and unless their pensions are 1€ss than the pmounts of income stated in the Bet, will) not be eligible for allowance. The War Allowance Act, therefore, is intended only to cover the cases of men who, while they may be burnt. out and broken down in health, are unable to prove that their dis- abilities are' attributable to war service, and are thcrefore unable to qualify for pension under the pension act.

March 4.-- Conservation of natural gas by re- striction of the huge waste flow-- 185,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily from the Turner Valley oil field is one of the most important prob- lem facing Alberta people today. Dr. R. C. Wallace, president of the University of Alberta, declared in a recent address here: "About 40 per cent. of the open flow should be permitted to escape, the rest being retained by a black pressure on the gas con.ing out, stated Dr, Wallace. The gas would then be richer in oil, as this pro- cesg tends to recover more of the ofl that ig likely to be in the field. Furthermore, the field would last 1 nger. In suggesting various ways for the utilization of this waste gus, Dr. Wallace pointed out that many of the possibilities demand large capital and sureties of tenure and operations, "ln certain fields, particularly those supplying Buffalo, storage of the gas has been done under- ground, in exhausted sands," ex- plained the speaker. "Most of the gas from the Turner Valley field is used for domestic purposes, very little for industrial purposes, and none for chemical uses," he went on. "There ig a possibility of piping 4. ad yance of m ing the casion of Charles to Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Re- gina, Saskatoon, and even right through to Winnipeg. | But a pipe line to Winnipeg is a big project, and not probable un- | less one can ensure the duration | of the field. is much greater in the winter months, unless one can industrial k ize the west. At present, there 1s | to supply gas to Butte and Great | Falls, Montana. This would use 50 million of the waste 185 million cubic feet. produced from the waste gas, at- tract other industries, The commis sion that has enquireq into the matter estimates that in five years there can Le built up the utiliza- tion of 90 million cubic feet pe: day, 0 in the production of benzol, which leaves ag a by-product a gas which can well be ured for domes tic purposes, 30 in carbon blak and 10 in hydrogen," stated Dr. Wallace. Carbon black, he explained, is extensively used in the manufac ture of auto tires, It is however, he said, a destructive method of the utilization of gas in a chemical way. Benzol has high detonating valuo and anti-knock properties, 80 is valuable for use in-auto fuel. | The only question bere is the cost | of production, Hydregen can be obtained more cheaply from natural gas, This & used extensively in the manufac- ture of ammonia for fertilizers, as | well as in the process of bydro- | genation, said Dr. Wallace. | In conclusion Dr. Wallace stress ed the importance cf conservation of the gas by the restriction of its flow, and the fact that piping some distance depends on the long du:z- ation of the field, ten ycars being too short a time, and fifteen only allowing possibilities, Chemica! utilization, the speaker claimed, was the most feasible and service- able suggestion, stating that it was a fleld of enormous interest fo: the research worker and the in- dustrial chemist.
