express my disgust at those wives (many of whom moan about pay and cortditions) who ignore and are apathetic to the efforts hein made by- members of the Forces Wives 1 ssociation.

Is it wrong to want better pay and

conditions’? O.K.. it's doubtful that we will get eyerythin we want. but at least we are making the e fort. Many wives have been forbidden to yoin by their husbands. who fear recrimination. .\ly answer to all those wives who "don't want to get involved" is you are involved by being married to :i Serviceman.

When I67 miles does not add up to ‘separation’

NAVY NEWS. JULY I978

When a wile finds herself living 167 miles away from her husband. it would probably take the powers ol a contortionist with words to convince her that

they are

not

separated.

"I wonder it anyone can eat lain to me why. when l live in Kettering an my husband is stationed at Portland. we are not considered to be 'separated".’." is the question one wife not the first time this type of query as been voiced. "We do not own a car." she says. “and due to the watch system my husband works he is

this

means a

long and

tedious journey taking an average of eight hours. “When his warrants run out he will be unable to come home as regularly as he would like because of the cost ol rail travel. and ‘separation pay’ would help a great deal. "It seems that men are encouraged to buy their own homes and then penalized alterwards lor doin so. My husband tells me that 2(1) miles is the ower limit for separation and. according to naval distances. we live I67 miles away. I call that separated."

Wives know better than most. of course. that Servicemen normally ex ct some separation and this. we are lol is talten into account when assessing the X factor. Payment ol separation allowance does not begin until this “normal" amount has been exceeded. The 200-mile limit was introduced on the assumption that a man could not travel that distance to have 2-! hours at home over the weekend. lnevitablv. any distance would be divisive. But there is one item which might prove more hopeful. Rules surrounding the payment ol separation allowance are at present under review in the M.O.D.. we hear. .

Bad debts ‘affront’ A large debt-collecting company has been quoted in some newsa apers as saying that bad debts mm the Forces have almost doubled over the past two years and that more and more Servicemen are getting into debt. "I leel these reports discredit the lamilies of serving men." says Mrs. C. Bragg. ol North End.

Portsmouth She goes on: “I realize there are quite a few people who get into serious debt regularly. but they are sure!‘ in the minority. What adds lurt er to the affront is that at the same time some newspapers carry loan advertisements specially aimed at Servicemen. .

How the Tot’s

When the Tot was laid to rest in 1970 and the wailings had subsided. its Sailors’ Fund successor remained to be proved in the test of time. Eight years on. the achievementsare all around in bricks and mortar. facilitiesand for thousands to appreciate. Capita invested has been subject to a carefully-monitored programme to produce best results both for present and future and all this through difficult financial times. in total. grants have now passed a staggering £1 ‘/2 million. representing a wide range of amenities for the sailor and his famil ', at home and abroad. And the uestion o the rival claims of men serving in s ips and ashore has been amicably resolved with regular grants to ships. in any event. this year's sailor afloat is next year's shore man. There remains a plentiful supply of good causes chasing cash. ratherthan the other way round. calling for a detailed selection process. Taken into consideration are factors like location. how many will benefit. the project's life expectancy. upkeep costs. and how much local effort and financial support is forthcoining.
