When I told Pa, he said he would give his views to help me. and balf-a-crown if I took the first prize. (He is a Liberal, but keeps Die short of pookot money.) Ma said she had a scheme, and was sure it was better than what the politicians were fighting over. So I started on my essay with the help of a Hansard. Old Age Pensions are intended to give nil people 11 shilling a das', instead of them going t-> the Charitable Aid Board for rations and boots and rents, and being asked Questions. They coll it a pension because the old men and women will demand it as a right, instead of asking it as a favour, and perhaps not getting it then, and then they won't he looked on as paupers. My dictionary says a pauper is one who cannot help himself, and is a burden on the State, When I got this far Pa said the dictionary was old, and out of date, and ho would withdraw tho half-crown offer. Ma said she would help me. and then I started again. If a boy or a man don't want to foe a burden he ought to save up his coppers, and when he grows to 65 years of age he won't want no pension, or rations either, and anyone can save up fouri]ence a week by leaving off cigarettes or stickjaw. And there is another and easier way in saving, my Ma says—in knowing how to buy. She buys gURATURA IJIEA, 1, ■ anil saves sixpence per week, and showed me a calculation that sixpence a week, if started at 25 years old, and well invested, would provide a pension at 65. When I grow up, 1 am going to adopt my mother's suggestion, by making my wife buy J gUBATURA rpA, and be independent of pension.
