THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20th, 1945 THE ROAD AHEAD A Column for Service People Here are a few more of the questions that service people are asking about the rehabilitation program. How can I apply for my Re-establishment Credit? After discharge, visit the District Spuervisor of Re-establishment Credit at the local (or nearest) office of the Department of Veterans' Affairs. He will want to see your War Service Gratuity Statement. His approval must be given for the use you intend to make of the credit. If you want . . . say ... to purchase furniture for your home, he will be easy to convince. In this case, you would then go to your merchant, pay one-third of the bill and get an invoice for the other two-thirds of the cost. This invoice, together with a formal application for your Credit, should be sent to the District Supervisor, who will pay it. You will later get a receipt. Tie sure to contact the Supervisor before you make any commitments for your credit. "What happens to my pay if I have to continue hospital treatment after discharge? You will still get your pay. If you are discharged because of sickness or wounds resulting from your service, pay of rank and dependents' allowances are continued for up to a year. If you are granted pension entitlement for your condition, this payment may be continued longer, where necessary. Is the D.V.A. University grant paid only for special courses, or will I have a free choice of my subjects? There is only one string attached --you must satisfy the rehabilitation officials that the courses and subjects you enroll for will actually help you make a living later on and that you are adapted for the training. Where your course is a technical one, there won't be much doubt about it. On the other hand, some people-- those planning to teach, for example, --would certainly be eligible to take subjects which might not look very "practical" at first glance. I expect to be discharged in hospital. Does this mean that I lose my thirty-day repatriation leave? Evidently you returned to Canada physically unable to take your repatriation leave and, being discharged in hospital, will never get it. However, when you leave the hospital, you will find waiting for you thirty days' pay and allowances in lieu of that leave. This is in addition to your rehabilitation grant. (If you have a problem write to Rehabilitation Information Committee, Wartime Information Board, Ottawa.) God gives every bird its food-- but He does not throw it into the nest.--J. G. Holland.

Digging a well is about the only business where you begin at the top 00* WE HAD IT BEFORE- -O** THE BUBBLE 1920 \ BURST 1922 V * 1918 " * LETS NOT HAVE IT AGAIN THE DICE AGAINST YOU Canadians are lucky. So far we've prevented inflation and avoided deflation. It's not been just good luck. Your support--everybody's support--of price ceilings, rationing and other controls alone has made it possible. BUT NOW COMES THE REAL TESTING TIME. The danger of inflation and its black shadow, deflation, will last as long as goods are scarce and insufficient to meet demands. With the war over and plenty of money in our pockets it's easy fo overlook the danger. It's easy to think that paying just a little more to get something we want is unimportant now. It's easy to think that what you do can't hurt --and to forget that careless, extravagant buying is a sure way to help a general rise in prices. That's how inflation gets going. BUT INFLATION IS ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY DEFLATION. And deflation brings cancelled orders, bankrupt businesses, mortgage foreclosures, unemployment and distress--distress you can't avoid. Until industry gets back to normal, price ceilings, rationing and other controls are our safeguard. Keep on watching your buying. Don't rush lo buy scarce goods. Keep on saving your money. Put it into Victory bonds and War Savings certificates. Keep on supporting wage and price controls, and rationing. Keep on fighting inflation and ifs black shadow... deflation. this advertisement is one of a series being issued by the Government of Canada to emphasize the importance of preventing a further increase in the cost of living now and deflation and unemployment later.
