A priio book is offered at our schools .for the beat essay on " Old Age Pensions" When I told Pa, lie said he would give his views to help me, and half-a-crovrn if I took the first prize. ' (He is a Liberal, hut keeps mo short of pocket money.) Ma Baid she had a scheme, and was sure lb was bettor 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 tive 01.l people a shilling a day,, instead of them going to the Charitable Aid Board for rations and boots and rents, and being asked questions. They call it a pension because the old men and women will demand it as a rigkt, instead of asking it as a favour, and perhaps not getting it then, and then they won't be looked on asi paupers. ,»!?$[ 1 got tills far Pa said the dictionary was old, and out of date, and he would withdraw tho half-crown offer. Ma said sho would help mo, and then I started again. My dictionary says a pauper is one who State himself, and is a burden on the . If a hoy or a man don't want to be 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 savo up fourpence a week by leaving off . cigarettes or stickjaw. And there is anothor and easier way in saving, my Ma says— knowing how to buy. She buys gURATURA rjIEA. and saves sixpence per week, and showed ms a calculation that sixpence a week, if started :^r/ ears old, and weU invested, would provide a pension . at 65. When I grow up, lam going to adopt my mother's suggestion, by making my wife buy buy ' uy gURATURA rpEA, and be independent of pension. GEORGE BMITH. Fourth Form. nuRATURA. . .
