A REAL CHANCE IN LIFE FOR YOUR BOY WHEN HE RETURNS FROM 4!^ X E think you would like your boy to have a real chance in life when he returns. The CCF candidate is now knocking the laws which give your boy this chance* Does he not know that the CCF voted for all these measures when the Government introduced them in Parliament? Here is a brief outline: swT r^ ^ â- '((. 1 WHAT WIU YOUR BOY GET IN CASH? As an example:â€" If your boy is a Private, and unmarried, with 2 yean' service in Canada and 2 years' Overseas, he will get CASH amounting to $762.00. If married, with 2 children, he gets $884.02. If a Sergeant, and single, cash Is $802.60. Married, with 2 chil- dren, $924.62. If a Lieutenant, single, $977.60; if married with 2 children, $1,118.92. Now remember, that is CASH in the hand. Thaf s only the start. 2 IF HE NEEDS TRAINING OR EDUCATION The Government will pay for his training in a trade, business or profession. All fees are paid and he receives living allowances while attending his course. If single, he gets $60.00 a month; If married, $80.00â€" and upwards if there are children. 6 IF DISABLED He gets a pension as well as these other things. Despite his dis- ability he can get up to $10,000 of life insurance from the government without medical examination at the same rates as a fit man pays to an insurance company. 7 MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE Apart from war injuriesâ€" he can get free medical and dental care for one year after leaving the services. 8 WANTS A FARM If he has experience, he can buy a $4,800 farm for $480 down. The Government supplies him with livestocic and equipment up to $1,200. Then, he pays bacic only ^ of the $4,800, which Is $3,200 and he can talte up to 25 years to do it. The other $1,600 (minus his $480) and the stock and equipment are an outright gift. How does he get the $480 down payment? His cash benefit (see above) in most cases is more than enough. 4 nSHING OR A FEW ACRES If he wants to go into commercial fishing, the Government will help him with simitar plans. Or he can have a few acres of land, and a nice home with full equipment, near some steady employment, on the same terms.. 5 MORE MONEY FOR USEFUL PURPOSES But that's not all. If he does not taite training or a farm, there are other grants for buying, furnishing or renovating a home, for buying tools and instruments for a trade or profession, for buying a business or setting up a business or for paying premiums on government insurance. The amount is $7.50 for each month's home service, $15 for each month's service overseas. OLD JOB BACK if your boy wants his old job backâ€" it is the law that he gets It â€" or one at least the equal. 9 CIVIL SERVICE He gets preferences In Civil Service employment, if he can pass the exams. A civilian with higher marks can't crowd him out. 10 PRACTICAL HELP In addition to these things, your boy will receive all possible advice and guidance in the selection of worth-while and satisfy- ing work, and every help in securing such jobs. These are a rough outline of Laws already passed and In effect. They are set up to give your boy an equal or better chance â€" when he returns. They are aimed at fulfilling every legitimato ambition â€" giving every returned man freedom from worry â€" independenceâ€" and a good place in the post-war world. For the information of families and friends of members of our fighting forces, the North Grey Liberal Association presents the foregoing as a plain statement of facts in order that your attention may not be diverted from the main issue in this by-election. This issue is, will you give the Minister of National Defence a seat in the Commons for the remaining two months of the life of the present parliament. James A.
