Most people think of them as only good for business purposes, but a neat arrangement of your name and address on a rubber stamp is very handy for many purposes. For instance, where you would like to have an inexpensive way of putting your name and ad- dress at the top of your letter, a return address on the envelope. This same stamp could also be used for placing your name and address on your books. Full particulars gladly furnished on those suitable for your particular purpose. The Stratford Mirror Press! 123 Ontario St. - & Phone 115 -- Rehabilitation News -- When Johnny left for basic training he may have thought he didn't have a friend in the world, but when he comes marching home, he'll find that a lot of people in his home town ap- preciate what he's done and want to pitch in and help him get back on his feet. Over 500 Citizens' Committees-- made up of ordinary people, business- men, church folk, service club mem- bers, neighbors--have been organized in towns, cities and villages all across '|Canada to see that the veteran gets a square deal. They know he's been through a lot and they want to help him. They want to see that he gets the kind of job he likes, that if he will profit by training he is advised about it, that his family will get the best possible accommodations. If he wants advice, they'll give it to him freely -- on business, economic or personal matters. Quietly and unobtrusively, the Citi- zens' Committees go about making life easier for the returned man by help- ing him in his troubles and lending an understanding ear. One young RCAF veteran, taking a course in Toronto, did not seem to be doing so well. His instructors in- vestigated. They found that his wife at home had just had a baby, and that he was short on cash to pay hospital bills. A quick call to the committee in his home town sent a man hurrying to the hospital, where arrangements were soon made to pay for the cost of Jun- ior's arrival, with the ex-airman re- paying the cost in monthly amounts that fitted his budget. In no time everything was smoothed out, and the young airman was going full speed ahead with his studies. Rehabilitation, as the government realized, is a three-fold job, involving the enactment and administration of laws, the determination of the veteran himself, and the co-operation of the community, which is the part played by the Citizens' Committees. Committees vary in size from one city to the next. Some have only the one committee looking after every- thing; others, particularly the big places, have a central committee and numerous sub-committees, such as housing committees, church commit- tees, etc. In dozens of different ways, depend- ing on the ingenuity and good-heart- edness of the townfolk, the Citizens' Committees do their best to make the returned man feel at home. One com- munity writes him a letter before he's even discharged, telling him what they are planning. Another sends him a certificate of appreciation, a "thank- you" card, printed on the best paper available. Another town sends him a personal letter with an enclosed mim- eographed sheet, asking him what he'd like to do, and what they can do for him. Another place waits until he's been home a couple of months, then sends him a personal letter to find out how he's getting along. In almost every case they find there's some little ad- justment that can be made, some Those Old Shoes May last a long time after we have repaired them.

All over Canada--in big cities and. small villages -- when Johnny comtes marching home, the Citizens' Com- mittees are on the job to make him feel that his welfare is the country's. first consideration. * REHABILITATION SERVICES Every serviceman or servicewoman is entitled to free dental treatment after leaving the service as indicated by the final service examination. Ap- plication must be made within 90: days after discharge. On leaving the armed _§ services, members are entitled to transporta- tion to their place of enlistment, or elsewhere if the cost is not greater. Before going back to Civvy Street, each serviceman or servicewoman is given a thorough medical and dental examination. Those leaving the Armed Services may use their Re-Establishment Credit to buy tools, instruments or equipment fession or business. Out-of-work benefits are included in Canada's re-establishment machinery for former armed forces members. Under Canada's rehabilitation plan, veterans may use their re-establish- modernize a house. Today's veteran is able to use his re-establishment credit to pay prem- iums on insurance issued by the Do- minion Government. It is possible for men or women dis- charged from the services to use their re-establishment credit due them to provide working capital for their civilian business or profession. The inspector was visiting the vil- lage school. Pointing to a little lad in the corner, he asked, "Who wrote Hamlet?" The little boy nervously replied "P-p-please, sir, it wasn't me." The inspector, greatly aroused by the incident, related the story to the squire. The squire laughed and laughed and at last said, "What a joke!

HARKINS | YANICE pulled her sweater closer, about her as she hurried across: the dunes, the thermos jug cuddled under her arm. It had been a jblistering hot day, but with night- 'fall the wind shifted east, and even. now a spray rode in with the waves. It was tedious work spotting: from the watchtower on the rocky' ledge, and Barry would appreciate the coffee. She smiled softly in the darkness, warm at the thought of Barry and how much he meant to her. She couldn't imagine what life would be like without him to tease her affec- tionately. They had grown up to-; gether in this tiny New England, village, sharing experiences, per-. fectly content with their narrow lit-. tle square of earth, but then war. came, and its shadow blotted out the sun on the crags, the peaceful fish- ing dories, and the graceful flight of sea gulls across the harbor. Every- thing suddenly assumed a stern and 'vital purpose, and a man became ambitious, restless. "Golly, Jan, I'd give anything to jenlist right now." Barry's serious ' i { -imood touched the girl, and she shud- dered slightly. She was thankful. 'Mrs. Conroy depended solely on him. He worked with a new deter- mination, a zeal that hinted he was under pressure. The feeling swept through the vil-: Jage like wildfire and uniforms: mushroomed overnight. Even Fred: Willis with his warped, distorted mind and his crooked back seethed '"'Why, Fred, how unkind; and ane, true, too!" es with rage to think he could not fight. Jan worried about Fred. He had always been unreasonably jealous of Barry, so much so that it was be- coming an obsession. "He's just a slacker, Barry Con-: roy is." Jan overheard Fred's ven- omous attack. "Afraid. If I had: his strong body, nothing would keep. e out of this scrap." "Why, Fred, how unkind: and un-. rue, too!'"' He faced her defiantly,' and she didn't like the look in his. yes. 4 She sympathized with Barry's dis- intment when he told her of his -- qTauure to make tne grage wit me 'Air Corps, but she couldn't still the happy thought: He'll stay a while longer." I won't lose him yet. Janice thought now what a god- send the boom had been to the vil- lage. She remembered her first trip. with Barry. » With the slack tide 'they had ridden the ground swells "off the coast in the little dory and: detached the rock-moored moss with | Back on shore, their | haul had to be spread out to dry.. 'Every evening and when rain threat-. long rakes. ened, it was packed in large cov- ered buckets for protection, as fresh' 'water could ruin the whole lot. "Somebody discovered that a pow- der made from the dried moss could be used in chocolate milk, ice cream soda and other soft drinks to keep the mixtures from separating. Golly, Jan, don't argue about it. Just be grateful that this summer's harvest will pay for painting the house.' Janice feared his reaction to an outer world, a wonderful, exciting new environment. Barry, she knew, would adapt himself easily. He de- served his chance, even if he did forget a snub-nosed little girl in denim slacks and sneakers. She sighed, thinking how delighted Bar- ry had been earlier in the evening. "Jan, it's almost enough!' he gloated exultantly. '"'A few more collections like this, and I'll practi- cally have my wings." Her heart contracted. She hurried now, for it began to sprinkle. She stopped short as she saw Fred skulking by the _packed tubs. Fred, wanting to keep Barry out of uniform even as she did. Fred, who had silently re- moved all the covers and stolen away in the darkness. It was a futile effort at revenge, she knew, and yet it would keep Barry close and safe beside her for a few more weeks. She began to feel a conspiratorial kinship with Fred. It was sheer accident she had stumbled on the scene at all. Barry wasn't expecting her. When Janice reached the watch- tower, Barry held her close. "Good girl!" he whispered. '"'I saw the whole thing." Janice stared at the binoculars on the table. She was glad she had covered the tubs that would send her eagle soaring. In giving Barry his chance she had made a vlace for herself beside him forever.
