(3)  Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Institute under subsection (1) is a contributor under the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Act, he shall for the purposes of that Act continue to make contributions under that Act as if he had not been transferred to the service of the Institute; and for the purposes of that Act his service with the Institute shall be deemed to be service with the Government and the Institute shall have the right to make deductions from the salary of that person to be paid as contributions under that Act.
