PORTLAW More Benefits To Vets The other day the "Ottawa Jour- nal", frequently quite critical of the Govemmeat's policies and their ap- plications, took a "disgusted veter- ans' to task for comiplaimng he had no job, net mon«y, nothing but promisM. The "Journal" printed the letter which it hadi received, azvd the vet- eran was astoniabed at tihe amount of help whidi immediately was forthoonuni. He quickly learned that the man disoharged from the Canadian Armed Forces most defin- itely is not thrown upon his own resources' to sink or s'wim. As the "Journal" indicated "there ib an elaiborait* organization ready and an- xious to alsaist htm â€" and the regu- lations make many fonms of aavis- tance available." The Department of Veterans' Af- airs hafi ^et up a system of counsel- lors throughout the country, and no veteran should have any difficulty in locating them. Indeed, his nearesit newspaper oififioe is motet likely to . have the ai»wer fastest. The De- 1 partment stands ready "to make a | comiplete investigation of any com- plaint and if the Department i!s at fault will only be too anxious to correct any condition complained of." To give even one more service to the discharged members of Canada's; fine democratic army, the Govern- . iiient has evolved an arrangement I between the Veterans' and Labour i Departments to give veterans out-of- work benefits, paid through the of- fices of the Uneniiployment Insur- ance Commission after February 1. By using the benefits, the veter- an doefe not need to spend his grat- uities for living expenses while he is seeking a job. The benefits amount to $50 ii month for a single man and $70 a month for a married man, with ad- ditional allowances for children. If a veteran hafe not found work with- in 38 days after discharge, the ben- efits are drnwable for a ''eriod equal to the length of Iservice but not ex- ceeding a year.

Wednesday, January 30, 1946 Hunter, Consider The Bird Of Prey Large number^ of red-tailed hawk, rough-leg'ged hawk and snowy owl, moving into southern Ontario during the winter, deserve more protection. Usually these large birds are killed because of their alleged attacks on poultry, but analyses of the stomach contents of these birds made at the Royal Ontario Museum, show that their major prey is shrews and wild mice. The latter do much damage to fruit tree's and shrubbery through- out the winter. In addition, the snowy owl kills large numibers of the brown rat â€" a dangerous pest. To many persons, however, hawks and owls are intrinsically worth hav- ing, even whei-e the economic con- sideration is not clear. They are a hoautifiil and graceful part of our countryside. If all animal? which fell ! foul of some special part of our in- terests were eradicated, thi^ would be a dull and empty land for he lover of the out^-doors.
