CANTEEN FUNDS
REPORT OF THE BOARD SUMS USED TO RELIEVE UNEMPLOYMENT [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, March 2. At the meeting of the New Zealand E.F. Canteen and Regimental Trust Board, the balance-sheet showed the total funds to be £193,601. During the past year £4,500 was expended in providing relief for unemployed returned soldiers, most of this sum being utilised in providing work. The money made available was subsidised by local bodies and private employers, which brought the total sum used for reliet of unemployed up to £9,05U. A grant of £1,979 10s was made last year to the Tventham scholarship fund towards the education of the children of deceased and disabled soldiers, while the grant for the same purpose this year is £2,000, making a total of £5.979 10s to date, utilised for the purpose. The policy of the board remains the same, viz.—to preserve the corpus of the fund for future use in the relief of distress, when the patriotic and war relief funds at present being used for the same purpose become exhausted*
