POPPY DAY FUND.
HUTT VALLEY ALLOCATION
With a view to taking-the*necessary steps to deal most advantageously with, the £500 or £600 which it anticipates it will have from the Poppy Day fund, plus local body and Government subsidies, the Hutt Valley branch of the Beturned Soldiers J Association called a meeting of unemployed ex-service men resident An Lower Hutt and Petone for Tuesday evening. Members of the committee attended in full force, but there was only one unemployed ex-service man present. This, was considered all the more strange as Mr B. W. Tpomath, president of the association, hadj for several.days previously, been approaches by returned soldiers seeking work. "~ Only a few days ago it was announced that there -were 10ft unemployed men registered in Petone, and that the number of married men registered in Lower Hutt was 46. It was stated yesterday, also, that a number of men had received notice from the railway "While it is not thought that all these men, or even the majority of them, are ex-service .men, it is assumed that a proportion of them are eligible for relief.
