During the last session the House of Commons passed a. bill entitled "The Returned Soldiers' Insurance Act," whereby any person who be- came a member of the Canadian forces in the war, whether naval, mil- itary or air forces, may be insured by the Dominion of Canada without medical examination for an amount varying from $500 to $5,000 provided that at the date of application for policy he is domiciled and resi- in Canada. This act comes into force to-day. Applications for the Insurance it pro- vides for the returned men must be made within a certain time. Local veterans' organizations, having cog- nizance of all matters that effect their members, have memonralized the gov- érnment to conduct a publicity cam- paign. It is pointed out that thou- . [sands of yeterans reside in remote : rural districts, that they seldom if to the Editor Are publishad ever attend their organizations' meet- the actual ame of ings, and that the only means of get- tings in touch with them is through the daily or weekly newspaper. The government is therefore requested to use this medium in order to acquaint these ex-service men with the de- talls of the new insurance plan. The premiums payable for the in- surance are based on the standard mortality table and four per cent. in- terest. The government bears all the expenses of administration, hence the chy qt is loafing that puts the sin in cost is below that of any other kind i sinew. of insurance possible to obtain.
