CANADIAN LEGION NEWS Insurance Principle A good deal o! confusion exists in the public mind at the present time as ta who is and who is not entitled ta pension, as a right, for a condition that arase whîle the veteran was on active service. One group is al ight. The men and wamen who have seen aveér- seas service are entitled ta pen- sion as a right because they are pratected by what has came ta be known as the Insurance Principle. The Insurance Principle means simply this: When a citizen of Canada undertakes military duty in the armed forces, he or she is pratected against disability orj f ii, With each returning year, high- er joys, holier aims, a purer peace and diviner energy, should fresh- en the fragrance o! being. -Mary Baker Eddy 1-1w on v~ 3 eeS lIvaan? j iitq boste eweesms W ,Oake high-Proof acohOl courge, lnes andt ghing îgh es lsO haeraspecial pusiainthre ýulesaae gtighree wyf0çeasurîng ine.Inor corgresourcef spn those t pl. a .,,wOly converted asS.n9 skil1 have aireadY P at, wmrkhepsn a tirdyer. hatisproducti0fl by e tark ds of ,What is three weeks.. ha of each ar y theoollco 'hol Tim iseî t Iau but a succession altlots Of.

The House of Seagram death from any cause except mis- conduct. At the beginning of the war, the government announced that men who enlisted would be given the same benefits under the Pension Act as applied at the conclusion af the last war. The Insurance Principle was part of the Act andi therefore everyone who joined the service automatically was protected by this principle. This was the case until May 21, 1940, when the government pass- ed an order-in-council which abolished the Insurance Principle for men and women with service in Cauiada onily. In its place, the government said that pensions would be payable to the "Canada only" group as of right only when the disability or dèath arose out of, or was directly connected with military service. At the Neurosurgical Rehabili- tation Centres the plan is ta give these cases every opportunity ta do something constructive. Work in gardens, machine shops, etc., is carried out under medical sup- ervision and an attempt is made to brîng them ta a normal state. When treatment is concluded, an attempt is made ta place the per- son in employment that is best suited. It is generally agreed that this treatment is of much more value than awarding pensions indis- criminately for, this type of dis- ability. However, it is felt by the Legion that after treatment has been tried, and the person is still sufferîng fromn disability, the only fair thing ta do is award a pen- sion. In practise, it appears very difficult for the Pension Commis- sion ta award disability pensions in these cases. While admitting that there are seldom two cases exactly alike, medical neurological experts maintaîn that the great majority of these cases can be restared ta their former state. The Neuro- logical Centres, they are satisfied, provide the answer in most cases. Singers & Their Songs BY FRED R.

Whittier, expressing his confidence in the unseen but underlying mnerdies o! his Creator, should strengthen aur faith also as we begin an- other year in a war torn warld. There may be marvel and sur- prise awaiting us, but aur con- fidence in the ultimate victary of aur allies is stili unshaken. The Quaker poet, known as the Sweet Singer o! Freedam, lived thraugh the bitter Civil War in the United States but he lived ta see the triumph o! the noble cause-the emancipatian of the slaves-for which he faught so valiantly with his pen in the early days o! the anti-slavery mave- ment. The name, Joah n Greenlea! Whittier, stands high in the list of American poets. Until his l9th yean he was a farm lad in his father's home. One day, as he was mending a wall by the road- side with his father, the postman handed him a local paper in which he had the unexpected joy o! reading one a! bis awn paems. Without his knowledge or con- sent, his sister had sent the poem ta the editor and sa the Quaker poet made his first appearance in print. In this simple way, his atten- tion was turned ta Journalism and a great career as a poet and hymn writer. His famaus poem "Snow Bound" may be read with unusual interest just now while "Our Lady o! the Snows" is amply justifying Kipling's caption. .Burketon (Intended for last week) Visitors: Mrs. W.

Such the influence of Shakespeare among all classes. In regard ta the age-lang con- troversy as ta whether Bacon or Shakespeare was respansible for the world's second greatest volume, the speaker quoted an observer: "If it weren't Shakes- peare then it was another man a! the same name." Mr. Hall said that in the home o! a true lover of the bard, one might stand for the wet rings of emptied glasses on mahogany furniture and cigarette burns on expensive mantels s0 long as the Shakespeare volume was not underscored or multilated by the super! icial pretender ta literary accamplishments. Goad literature like good music appeals ta the ematians and only true loyers o! these cannot become han- monized ta the superficial.
