Disabled V et Impressive Address and Films Show Successful Rehabilitation The veteran who is disabled dces'hot atk for, does not want any favors from anyone his employer, his fellow worker or thet community. He is willing and able to look after himself. He Is an asset, economically, socially, financially, to the community." So said S. R. Yates, casualty rehabilitation officer of the Department of Veterans' Affairs, at a public meeting in the Civic Centre last evening. "Vrnrln? he lilxtorv nf treat ans 'aftef previous wars, Mr.T.u ' , :: hiTn fl,id th i aies reminoea nis usieners now the old soldier who had served his country during previous wars had been so neglected by the people for whom he had fcughf. Nowadays the situation was different. A physical handicap was really not a handicap. In fact, there are very few people In ordinary life who make use of all their facilities or abil ities. In the rehabilitation of disabled veterans this fact is kept in mind. A ma" trained to make full use of the abilities he has. He Is then fitted Into a lob thot requires the exercise of those faculties. The success of this plan is shown by the result it a canvass oi employers of disabled veterans. They stated that In CO per cent of cases the veteran wa? as good as the ordinary civilian and in 34 per cent he -s superior to him. With moving pictures to illustrate the treatment and training sttven the disabled men, Mr Yates showed the mechanics of retraining disabled veterans The physical development was comparatively easy. It was the man's psychological reaction to his loss of limb that might be the chief handicap. The film showed how a man who had lost both hands saw a picture depicting the case of another dis-nbled man who became an ex-nrrt mechanic. This man deter mined o do' the same. He had wen what ' could De done. He would do ns well but do It In a -shorter time. By patience, per- ?fverence and sympathetic- treatment by trained Instructors he acquired the facility to use hli arliridnt Umb3 with ease. He further developed an attitude that he knew he was not handicapped. He found that people took him for granted as ono of vhem.lvcs and with the certain knowledge that he could do the Job fully he developed the necessary confidence In himself and was able to get full satisfaction out of a busy ana useful life, firrat Handicaps At Ovcrromc Two other pictures showed how many disabled men had overcome what had been previously considered a physical handicap. Loss of leg. hands, an arm, eyesight, had been overcome by means o modern artificial aids or treatment. However, the most important aspect was the attitude of the public and of cmpioycers or la-5.5 bor. Disabled mm must be given Really Asset the same chance as physically fit men. They were trained to do their Job perfectly. They should be given the opportunity and should be accepted by the public as an asset. The men would then readily and successfully rchabll-' Hate themselves. Already there was a tendency among the public to forget the sacrifices made by veterans. ThU apathy was dangerous. The public meded to realize their responsibility and remember it. Colonel Hamilton Grant, local representatives of the Depart ment of Veterans' Affairs, expressed his pleasure at having hnterr.t nf Hip rommunitv In the rehabilitation of veterans. Mayor Daggett assured Colonel Grant that the community recognized its debt to the disabled veteran nnd would fulfil its obligation In every way. He thanked Mr. Yates for his address and the showing of the films and hoped that on his return here he would have a larger audience to hear him. Mr. Yates was appreciative of the courtesy extended to him during his visit. He felt sure that the general public, with such bodies as the Canadian Legion to help, would assist the veteran. He appreciated the use of the Civic Centre and Mr. Forward's co-operation in showing the films. REACTION OF . MEAT PRICES Uncertainty as to Results of Latest Price Ceiling Move OTTAWA 0) Announcement of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board of the re-establis'nment of a celling on better grade beef prices drew conflicting vlew3 frcm packing house officials and meat dealers. Meat dealers expressed fear that r.nothrr beef famine would lF.sult. They contended that the pickers would not be able to pay 'the prices the farmers are asking for cattle and yet make prices under the ceilings. . An . Ontario stockyard manager saw no basis for believinj that Toronto would again suffer a nwat shortage. The new rates'may result In isolated prices increases for con-sumeti ranging from one to a maximum of three cents per pound on ton quality beef but. on many retail cuts there will be no Increase "in prices.

OF INTEREST TO THIS CITY Mayor Daggett Summarizes Proceedings at Recent Mayors' Conference Several resolutions the effect of which would have direct bearing upon Prince Rupert were dealt with at the recent annual convention of the Federation of Canadian Mayors and Municipalities in Vancouver and Mayor H. M. Daggett of Prince Rupert took an active part In the discussions and framing of them. The mayor returned to ! the city yesterday after attend-! lng the convention. One of the resolutions urged that existing agreements In re igard to taxation of Wartime Housing property be revised with a view to putting this prop- erty on a more equitable basis I In comparison with existing general taxation. The present fgreements give Wartime Housing extreme concessions on taxes. Another resolution, dealing with rehabilitation of cities for pubJie. wor.ks and.- setvlcevwhlcb suffered during the war, asked that the federal 'government relieve municipalities of all future unemployment relief for unem-ployables, Another asked that federal and provincial govern-pay municipal taxes or make grants In lieu thereof. Still another asked for a national low rental and slum clearance act. A definite government statement of policy in regard to financial assistance for municipal public works projects was also asked. Municipal representation on future Dominion-provincial conferences was also requested and establishment and maintenance of conference with municipalities on all legislation, federal or provincial, affecting municipalities was sought. In the matter of air bases being taken over from the federal government by the municipalities the Federation passed ja resolution , asking the govern ment to snare in any loss inai may arise from the operation thereof. Another resolution which the mayor deems of especial interest was that asking that "old age" pensions be redesignated "retirement" pensions and that they be available without means test In the sum of $50 per month to all persons reaching the age of 65. ; The convention approved day-, light saving on a national basis. I Mr. Daggett found the con- ventlon one of great Interest and i Informative value. An' outstand- i lng address was that-' on Inter-1 national relief by George s. Mooney, former executive secretary of the Federation and more recently Canadian representative on U.N.R.R.A. Mayor Coulter of Winnipeg was elected as the new president and Winnipeg will be the 1947 convention city. Mayor N. C. Stlbbs of Nelson was elected to the national executive. Mr. Daggett was named to a standing committee on municipal airports representing British Columbia but asked that Mayor Jack Nicholson be appointed In his stead. WOMEN DEMAN DRiGHTS SYDNEY.
