RELIEF WORKERS' TIME OFF
TO TUB EDITOR OF TDK. PMSS. Sir,—The unemployed ask the public to help them. If men in any other job ran about as the relief men do they would get the sack. They take half a day off to put in their returns, when an hour would be plenty of time. You meet them in town doing their shopping or' going to morning tea when they should be at work. That sort of thing should be looked into. The'foremen should wake up and see what their men are doing. They even change their relief days to go to the bureau ,to get out of work, and then they ask us to help. They do not like work; that is the trouble. I like fair play.—Yours, etc., RATEPAYER. February 28, 1935.
