The 51,400-000 received as prize money of the Royal Canadian Navy after the Second Workd War was transferred to the Royal Can- adian Naval Benevolent Fund in 1950 by act of Parliament tthe Canada Prirc Acll. The may one these facts from the rf't'ords Wcdncsday in com- m(-Ming on it statement by I 'zroup of former naval personnel at Owen Sound. Ont. that they have an in- contestablc right to the prize and that the government cannot legallyl convert the money without thel : sanction. . The group. which calls itself the" North Grcy Naval VeterIms' As- sociatlon. also charged that money in the benevolent fund is not being properly disbursed. NAVAL TRADITION A naval spokesman said he could not mmcnt on this no state- ment." if the Iron w 1- Brnnch of are out of luck if they're still :-cck- before the fund administrator: at any time. The custom of prize ntoncy tzrcw up centuries ago in the Royal Navy. Sailors in those days were so poorly paid that prize money from the sale of captured enemy ships was offered an inducement to go to sea. One-third of the value of n shlp was relslncd by the crnwn. The remaining two-thirds was divided among the crew which made the capture. This custom was changed after the First World War. The two- thirds not taken by the crown was pooled and all naval personnel with e at sea shared in it accord- ing to rank. IIEAVY COSTS After the Second World War. the Royal Navy distributed about 523.- ooo.ooo to ssoooo persons. An ordin- ary seamen received one share. the equivalent of 01108. and an ad- IH to have II 031' The Canadian naval spokesman isald that if the Sl.400.000 prize money had bccn distributed ordin- ary seamen would have received less than 810 each. There would have been large administration costs in tracking down those en- titled to the money. settling es- tates of those killed in action and .in mailing chcoucs. The Owen Sound association also said the naval hencvolcnt fund doesn't need the prize money. The naval spokesman said there are more claims on the fund than cash available. The fund is used to help needy naval veterans. serv- lng member. of the navy or their dependents. At last March 31 there was 32.- 7ll-469 in the fund. During 1955. the fund received donations of 528.496 and made grants totalling !3l.659 and loans totalling about 900,000.
