The Help Win The Peace clothing drive runs June 17 to June 28 to aid Europe through UNRRA and postwar relief. Canadians are urged to donate any usable garments for all ages including babies and adults, with shoes and bedding emphasized to help cover next winter’s needs.
In cities with Rehabilitation Centres ex service personnel are guided to CVA staffed offices for aid. Sub-committees focus on agriculture housing education and veterans welfare. Members are chosen for expertise and aim to help veterans return to successful post war livelihoods. They see reestablishment as aiding individual needs rather than reward.
Garson Sebright and Tyndall schools held a field day at Tyndall school grounds with a parade on Main Street. Students sang O Canada as the Union Jack was raised, and final points put Tyndall first, Garson second, Sebright third. Orange gifts and rain surprised attendees as youngsters returned home tired but enriched.
Committee members across Canada push housing registries to match ex-service personnel with available accommodation. They enlist local publicity to gather spare rooms and units for single and married veterans. Sub committees study the National Housing Act and re establishment credits for building or buying homes.
A new London demonstration showcases a miniature hearing aid about the size of a cigarette case, measuring three by two by one inches. It uses three tiny amplifying valves with a separate ear piece and batteries, whose running cost is under two cents per hour. During the event, observers noted its potential impact on hearing assistance.
The device was handed to a deaf man who announced he could use it perfectly. Developed at the Don Research Station of the General Post Office, the aid may join Britain’s National Health Service. Dr. W G Radley, Controller of Research, said experimental models were scientifically compared with the best.
The report states that American and British types yielded better results for the model in a clinical ally context than any other. It emphasizes comparative performance and the superiority of these types in the tested setting.
