DESPERATE KIWIS
Sir, —Congratulations to the Whakatane Kiwi who was kindly helped to a home by his ex-service pals. I’m with them all the way and then some.
However there is one thing I’d like to borrow from them—the recipe for applying the same measures say in Auckland. The Rehabilitation Board we all admit must be snowed in with Applications for homes, but what I ask you is the returned man to do with the offer of a good job but no home for himself and family. Yet there are numbers of houses unoccupied. There is an unfairness about the whole position which makes one* to think and moreover to become profane on occasion. ; I do not Suggest any bright .ideas— I’ve gat :£>ast all that:- . All I ask is just something otherwise than a tent, to keep the rain off and the wind out. Yours etc., DISILLUSIONED.
