Is the government annuities system abolition true
An anxious correspondent asks the superintendent of annuities if the annuities program has been abolished and whether buying an annuity next summer is still possible. The inquiry seeks to know if a replacement exists for the annuity and how the change affects poor people relying on the benefit.

The change aims to widen publicity and help all ages prepare for old age with early payments and compound interest at 4 percent. Full information is available at post offices or by writing to the Superintendent of Annuities in Ottawa.
