In fact, it has been debated in the House of Commons in Ottawa, and, when a committee had been formed to look into this question, there was so much disagreement that nothing ever came out of its discussions. However, it is a difficult story now and it is known in Ottawa that many legis- lators are anxious to provide a dis- tinctive Canadian flag for this country as soon as possible. REASON FOR 1948 In view of widespread curiosity why th eyear 1948 has been suggested as the time of attainment of proposals made at the Dominion-Provincial Con- ference for old age pensions of $30 a month for all over 70 years of age in Canada, information in this capital has disclosed that most of the figures or statistics put before the Conference were founded o nthe year 1948 since it had been merely considered that in this particular year full conversion from war to peace would be affected. However, it has also been hinted that it would be quite possible that it can come into effect sooner or as soon as the Federal and Provincial Govern- ments reach an agreement on. these proposals. WEEKLY WIND-UP Two reasons have been heard in this capital why Canadians will have to continue with their present short sugar supplies for a time. One reason is that normal sugar producing coun- tries relieved from the enemy will not be in a position for between one and two years to produce regular sugar crops and another reason is' that more sugar is now being sent to liber- ated countries than at any other time since 1939, though the people of these liberated countries are on a minimum sugar rationing system ... David Heaps ,son of the former Labor M.P. from Winnipeg, A. A. Heaps, has _ be- come the secretary to the C.C.F. Lead- er, M. J. Coldwell, with the youthful Heaps being a veteran of this war as well as winner of a military decora- tion. ... A sign of peacetime hap- piness or gaiety in Canada's Parlia- ment, unheard of in the days of the war, was the singing by the members of such songs as "Home On The Range", "Alouette", "My Wild Irish Rose", and so forth... In a suburb of this capital, hundreds of new pre- fabricated houses are being arranged for immediate construction and it is forecast that thousands of such homes may be built across Canada as the plan develops, with the man in charge of this ambitous enterprise being Rog- er Denison of New York. Mr. Dennis- on claims that this is the real an- swer to Canada's housing problem since the scheme provides a national ra Our Capital Correspondent approach to the problem rather than a local touch, with waste of materials being eliminated as well as costs re- duced and local labor being employed exclusively everywhere in assembling the model which is more like a small edition of the boss' home rather than so-called workers' cottages. The house is built from a model supplied by the British Minister of Works, Sir James West . "What is the difference between a flea and an elephant?" "I don't know. What?" "Why, an elephant can have fleas, but a flea can't have elephants." ]HAVE YOU READ? Peking, a thousand years old and more, is the setting of this modern novel of China by one of its best- known writers. RICKSHAW BOY is Chinese in its plot, characters, and atmosphere. Its flavor is biting and strong. It is China toiling and sweat- ing, China loving and suffering, hop- ing and blundering, falling and getting ing too, whenever it can--deep earthy laughter. Lau Shaw has written a story which could have happened at any time, in any land--it's the moving story of a man who fights the battle that all men everywhere must wage with never ceasing hope. Happy Boy, a country lad, has come 'to the city. For the fulfillment of his modest ambitions, he has strength and health, loyalty; and the will to work boundlessly, supported by guid- ing maxims of conduct going back be- yond the time of Kublai Khan. There is a girl, there are other women. Hap- py Boy becomes. the unsuspecting victim of social trends, in a world un- dreamed of by the makers of ancient maxims. When he is all but broken he takes the first conscious step to shape his own life. The translation by Evan King, an American who has lived in China for many years and knows its people and their language, is a remarkable achievement. Village in August, a pre- vious Chinese work discovered and translated by him, recevied an un- usually favorable welcome from re- viewers and readers. Lau Shaw the author, is rapidly be- coming one of the most prominient of contemporary Chinese writers. This is the first of his novels to be pub- lished in this country but some of his excellent short stories have appeared in Modern Chinese Short Stories, re- cently published by Columbia Univer- sity Press. acceptable gift.

OVER FIFTY YEARS WALLPAPER LADD: Wallpaper and Painst Expert Advisers on Decorating 32 Downie St. Phone 113 THE ROAD AHEAD A Column For Service People Next week, this column will try to give a picture of "who to see" about the various rehabilitation benefits. In the meantime, here are some more answers to questions service-people and ex-service-people are asking about "rehab". Am I exempt from Income Taxes for six months after my return from overseas? The service pay and allowances you receive during your first six months after repatriation are tax-exempt. If your discharge comes before that six mmonths are up. your civilian pay im- mediately becomes subject to Federal income tax at normal rates. The re- habilitation grant, clothing allowance, war service gratuity, re-establishment credit, and rehabilitation training be- nefits paid to all ex-service personnel are exempt from taxation. What trades or occupations, aside from office work, can a veteran of the Women's Service enter? There are quite a number-photo- grapher, X-ray technician, dental re- ceptionist, florist clerk, dressmaker, hairdresser, are only a4 few of the trades for which women veterans are particularly well adapted and for which she may train under the "re- hab" program. There is also an urgent need for nurses in Canada today. Wo- men are eligible, equally with them for all the v ocational and education- al training benefits provided for vet- erans. You might discuss this with your in-service counsellor or with counsellors at the nearest "rehab" centre of the Department of Veter- ans' Affairs. How do I qualify for full-time farm- ing benefits under the Veterans' Land Act? A man who has been honourably discharged from the Canadian Armed Forces is eligible if he has served in a theatre of actual war, or if he has had at least 12 months service in Canada or if he was awarded a war disability pension. Just as important, he must satisfy the Veterans' Land Act offic- ials that he has had real experience a man may receive financial assist- ance of up to $6,000, of which no more equipment, livestock, and the like. The veteran make a down-payment of 10% of the cost of Land and Build- ings. In addiiton he contracts to repay two-thirds of the cost of Land and Buildings over a period of not more than 25 years with interest at 314% The remainder of the cost of land and buildings plus any amount authorized for stock and equipment becomes @& free grant to the veteran if he fulfils the terms of his contract for ten years. You will be interested to know that there is a Regional Supervisor, Veterans' Land Act, in about 40 cities across Canada. He is the man you will in farming.
