RELATIVES FIRST
EVACUATED BRITISH CHILDREN METHOD OF APPLICATION The desirability of people in the Dominion undertaking to;adopt foil; the duration of the war,-children of" relatives in England was stressed at the meeting last Friday of the local allocation committee. - - Mr Barry who presided said he now understood that the Department of Internal Affairs had taken a hand in the matter and created a special department for dealing with the problem. While it was desirous to encourage people to take children of English relatives in preference to strangers he hoped that the ordinary child would not be overlooked. However from an amended circular received by him he understood that those who wanted to specify children of relatives, should make direct application to the Department of Internal Affairs, naming the child, its parents and its full address . Wherever possible the children of relatives would be brought to the homes offering them refuge.
