If work was offering the- State could not afford to .find relief for a singlemaii, who ■''should; shift for ' himself. The Board wished to get back to normality as soon as the'opportunity- occurred. It was always difficult to retrace one’s steps, but it had to .’be done for New Zealand to face the situation as a permanency could not be contemplated. It is understood that an importantstatement affecting relief Work will shortly be made (by Mr Jessepi
