PENSION CONDITIONS
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —As there appears no likelihood of an immediate national superannuation. I would suggest that' the sting of applying for charity be removed from the application forms for old age pensions at an early date this year, as follows: —That names and addresses of former acquaintances be not required for reference, as this only publishes the applicant's present' poverty to friends of better days; that names of relatives, other than the husband or. wife, be not submitted; that elderly sensitive i women be not necessarily required to take oath before a Magistrate, but that an affidavit regarding age and means, i furnished by a solicitor, be accepted in lieu of this.—l am,« etc., SYMPATHY.
