Watch for posters. Supports Old Age Pensions When the old age pension bill came up in the House of Commons last week Peter Heenan seized the opportunity to 1 contribute his views, following Sir H. COMMENCING MODAY, April FIFTH. WE are putting on a SALE of all our GOODS for a Few DAYS ONLY, to reduce our Stock. We are leaving Dry- den at the end of this month.

WILLARD'S CASH STORE BOOT & SHOE REPAIRER and HARNESS STORE a synopsis of his speech taken from Drayton, with whom he disagreed, and Hansard is given herewith: I have always heard that the Conservative party have been foremost in the advancement of legislation of this kind;at least I have heard them take that position during election time and I would not like them to lose their reputation. I hope they will carry on in the House as they do on the plat-- form. At first I believed the hon. mem- ber for West York was going to supp- ort this resolution, but I actually felt, when he had closed his speech, that he had been opposing it. At least if he was not opposing it, he was quoting from every angle possible to throw cold wa- ter on the old age pension scheme. I think he started out by saying that he thought it was a proper thing for the Dominion government to mind its own business and not interfere with the business of the provincial governments. I think that one of the businesses of of the Dominion government is to look after the old worn-out industrial work- ers and pioneers of this country, and if they can do something to assist the pro vinces in this matter it will be a proper policy to pursue. The hon. member for West York stated that none of the pro- vinces wanted this scheme. He went on to point out the difficulties in the way of the provinces getting together. As I understand it, this is an Act to assist the provinces. By this the Dominion government is willing to assist the provinces to arrive at a uni form basis, and as the Acting Minister of Labour stated it does not compel the provinces to come in.

Hutter . Enlarging, York also lelc the impression on the House, I think, that there would be some duplication, inasmuch as some oi the provinces have workmen's compen- sation acts already. If he will look at the provisions of the bill, he will see that no one earning $240 a year will be able to participate in this pension. I think you will find it has been stated that the provinces were looking after the older people in some way or another, and in the next breath he stated that this was done by house of refuge or poorhouses, and he asks what are we going to do with these buildings? Surely it is about time we were taking better care of our old peo- ple, to prevent, them being stigmatized as paupers after they reach the age of seventy. I think the time has come when old, worn-out industrial workers who are not able to earn over $240 a vear, ought not to be stigmatized as paupers or placed in poorhouses. I was in the Old Country last summer, and had an opportunity to witness the hen- ficial results of a scheme of this kind.

Grant MacNeil, Dominion Secretary of the G.W.V.A. Wednesday : night in the Community Hall, Oxdrift, drew from the delighted visitor the statement that never in all his travels pitality. In spite of uncertain weather and the condition of the roads which prevented attendance of outsiders, the people of Oxdrift and district turned out in such numbers as to completely fill every part of the hall to capacity. Mr MacNeil has been visiting over Manitoba and this part of Ontario to meei ex-service men and women and discuss with them the various matters of interest to veterans. He was met at the station by a committee repre- senting the newly formed local branch, and the whole time not taken up at the meeting he devoted to informing him- self, by shrewd questioning, of matters concerning ex-service men who have settled in the district. The program consisted of the exhibi- tion of 8,000 feet of official war film, and 200 lantern slides of episodes of the great war, taken in the actual war zone. Their realism was startling, and while many scenes presented the glory of heroic and self-sacrificing achieve- ment, yet the lasting impression was of the dreadful suffering and fearful havoee that yar causes. Gone are tho thrill of combat, the roar of mighty guns, the beating tramp of marching men; all that remains is a memory of men who died in the ghastly struggle, the maimed and broken men and the {atherless children, who still need the care and protection of the country in whose service their losses were in- curred. And it is because of his mag- nificent efforts in behalf of such, that Grant MacNeil is honoured by all who love their country and esteem its good faith and gratitude above its military prowess. As Oxdrift has no power supply, the: ingenuity that made the pictures pos- sible was admirable. Bert Bicknell generator and return it; J. S. Corner provided a gas engine to drive it, and between them they supplied current for two powerful lanterns giving exceilent service. The proper atmosphere of the regular movie was given by S. Bartlett at the piano, playing the music that is associated with the war period. And numbperless others assisted in othe: ways to make the meeting a success. Following the pictures the ladies provided unlimited refreshments of the. quality for which Oxdrift is famous. And in every way the Oxdrift Vets. Bhad reason te congratulate themselves that the goodwill of the community is with them in their month-old organi- zation, the Charter of which was pre- sented in the course of the evening by Mr MacNeil to their President, Mr 2.

This proposed ccherue will not duplicate the exist- ing system of velief. It is true the municipalities and the provinces have at the present time facilities for tak- ing care of old people, but in discuss ing a bill of this nature, designed to provide for our worthy pioneers, we ought not to give much consideration ta he question of preserving old, worn out pocrhouses made of brick and mortar. Another point I wish to make is that the cost of this scheme has been ar- / i it brin ou hy! ROSPERI 5 MISFORTUNE! No need to worr about Financial Misfortune if you have Adequate INSURANCE see rived at after taking into consideration the nuniber of people who will be eligible to share in the benefits of this " seheme. Under th e provisions of this Epil railroad men will not be entitled i to pensions, and those employed in many other institutions which have adopted pensions for their employees will not come under it, because their pensions wil! exceed the maximum amount provided for here; therefore the total cost will be very much less . than has been estimated. ! Ii is true that many of the provinces have instituted social relief of a very humane nature. Some have passed a . Workmen's Compensation Act for men "and gitls, and have taken care in a general way of those less able to take «care of themselves, but none of them has undertaken the care of worn-out people of 70 years or over who have not been abic to provide for them- selves. In my opinion the government is the night. had he met with a more generous hos-fa to sign, nor get-rich-quick who are this town and district. But it has some connection with Red Lake too.

Instantly grasping the potential value of the idea, he turned it over in this mind and as the plan developed and took shape he became enthusiastic over its possibilities, and instantly came to decision. Mr Pitt desires to meet the business men of Dryden--not meaning the mer- chants only--to meet him in the Town Hall on Monday evening at 8.00 o'clock when he will lay a definite proposition before them As to the details, that had better be left till the meeting; premature dis- closure would only spoil the effect. But there is nothing mysterious about it. There are no shares to sell, petitions schemes. Simply a straight proposition for those interested in the welfare of your mind to be at the meeting Mon- day and learn all about it. Howey followed his hunch and look what happened !

I think, Mr Speaker, that all who have in any way represented the workmen whether politically or in- dustrially will agree that one of the greatest fears among the working class is that of not being able to pro- vide for old age, not being able to earn sufficient wages to ensure that in the evening of life they will not be stig- matized as paupers. This fear has a very unsettling effect which this legislature will very largely remove. i do not agree, of course, that the amount of the pension is sufficient, but the measure is a step in the right direction. 1 want to point out to the hon. mem- ber for West York that the Premier of Ontario only last week stated on the floor of the legislature that he was considering the question of an old age pension plan, but he was watching very carefully the progress of the bill in the Dominion House. I am satis- fied that Ontario will be one of the first to take advantage of this bill and to come under it. I do not want to delay the House in going into the merits of old age pensions. Most hon. members probably know more about the question than I deo, but I know it is humane legislation and I hope the majority of members on both sides of the House will vote for it. J s E.
