THE STRIKE

HELPINC THE Wl VES AND CHILDBEN. A lady of Wellington, writing to a Levin resident who had sent a donation for the wives and children of strikers, says: "Many ' thanks for your contribution to our very large family. We arc feeding 1 between OUOO and 70U0 weekly, so we get througfi a considerable sum of money. Two. donations, amounting to £5 ss, have boon sent specially for the children. We intend giving;. aa many as we can something to wear, such as a pair o?"sandals, cotton frock, etc. The people of tJie Otaki district have been very kind, sending every day a large quantity of milk, which we have )i;h! for so small a -sum as to be almost a gift. ''In our work we come into very close contact with the people, and there are some line types amongst them, and eager to do with as little help as possible. Indeed, some have only come last week for the first time. ancT many not at all so far. We have also come in touch with many who should have been receiving help from the Charitable Aid Board long ago. The Distress Committee have worked most harmoniously together." This is Christmas time. Perhaps some in Levin, who are interested in this charitable work, will remember the children.
