Parliament Hill debates widen aid for war children
Legislation passed discussions on Children of War Dead Act to broaden eligibility for higher education aid. Veterans Affairs estimates tuition up to 500 dollars yearly plus 25 dollars monthly for four years. Amendments extend eligibility to children over 21, and to those bereaved in peacetime service, with changes to pensions and other supports. Also covered are animal disease compensation, farm grain advances, and the Saskatchewan River Dam Project agreement signing by Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Agriculture Minister Harkness.
