E. Ross, Conservative member for Kingston, has given no- tice of a resolution, which reads as follows: ; "That this house instructs the department of pensions to amend the pensions regulations so that it shall be the duty of a unit director of the department to examine all cases applying directly to him for treatment or hospitalization, and if in his opinion the case is urgent and necesgitous, the applicant shall forthwith be admitted to hospital or treatment until the department shall make final disposition of the application." "ay A Worthy Proposal "This proposal, is adopted by the house of comons and put into ef- fect, would remove practically all of the dissatisfaction which e:Jsts regarding the treatment of sick and disabled war veterans secking ad- mission to Christie Street hospital," said M. McIntyre Hood, second vice- president of the Ontario command of the Canadian Legion, on being shown the above despatch. 'One of the greatest difficulties encountered lies in the fact that the unit direct- or is given practically no discretion- ary powers regarding men who are not pensioners, and often in cases in which men are pensioners. Un: doubtedly this resolution is the re- sult of the unfortunate death of Gunner Eggleston a few hours after he had been refused admission to Christie St. Hospital recently.
