WAR’S AFTERMATH
SUPPORT THE R.S.A. The aftermath of the war is still very visible in our community to-day. It is only natural that many of the men who survived the years 1014-1918 should pay the sacrifice of the strenuous life they then led, and who are now breaking down in health, and as a result of their service many returned soldiers are in hosDitals, sanatoria and mental homes to-day. There are large numbers throughout the country who, whilst net recognised by the pension authorities as coming under tho scope of the Act are undoubtedly suffering from war disabilities, and unable to stand the strain of arduous labour. There are the widow* and dependents of fallen romrades to be looked after, and the Returned Sol. diers’ Association exists for that run pose, and to assist in any esse where a Dieger requires their help. The efforts of the executive have been sol recognised +hat the membership baa increased by nearlv 900 since April lnt, 1925, and a special effort is being made to bring the total membership up to 1000 for the year. The R.S.A. deserve* Ihe assistance of all ex-servicemen to carry on the good work.
