that victory and the end of the war seem nearer than they have ever been more serious consi deration is being given to the reestablishment of our fighting men in civilian life we imagine most civilians and many soldiers too are not fully acquainted with the opportunities the government has provided for service personnel upon their discharge last week an informative little book came to the office entitled back to civil life it is issued by the minister of pensions and national health honorable ian a mackenzie the foreword states the booklet was prepared to inform members of the armed forces and canadians generally of steps taken for civi lian rehabilitation of those in uniform we havent heard of it being widely distributed to either factions to date but believe it would be an excellent idea and the money wellspent if this were done it is equally important for the servicemen and the canadian public to know what has been done to fit them for their return to the dominions normal peacetime occupations in the booklet all matters pertaining to the actual discharge are dealt with such as order and method clothing allowance rehabilitation grants and war service gratuities transportation home and return of dependents from overseas the part rehabilitation boards play is fully discussed as is the post discharge reestablishment order with its five classes of benefits outofwork while taking vocational training while temporarily incapacitated while awaiting returns from private enterprises while continuing education in con nection with the last mentioned all phases and particu lars of special courses including university training are brought to light the important matter of pensions is lolly dealt with and the veterans land act is simply explained were keeping the booklet in a handy place so if anyone wishes to read it wed be only too glad to blame the inventors of writing this month children return to school for another d m gowdy and muierto u ttiia one

through the use of standardized pictures in mesopotamia writing was done on soft clay with a wedgeshaped instrument through the centuries the picture forms evolved into a system of wedgeshaped marks in egypt a correspond ing change is seen in the brush writing on papyrus although the pitographs carved in stone scarcely altered during 3000 years of history the egyptian script shows mankinds first attempt to formulate characters lepresenting single sounds instead of syllables and whole words since both these countries also developed numerical systems in mesopotamia with units of 60 in egypt
