FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
HIGH WATER MARE PASSED.
DROP IN NEW APPLICATIONS.
A drop in new applications is one of the interesting features of the Soldiers' Financial Assistance Board's report on November's operations. Evidently the; high-water-mark of this useful scheme has been reached, for,the progress of demobilisation will result in grants being withdrawn as the soldiers resume civil occupation. The assistance does not stop immediately the soldier leaves camp with his discharge. It goes on for one month, during which time the soldier is also drawing pay and other allowances. The actual position of the scheme, show ing to what magnitude it developed while the war was in progress was as follows on November 30th:— Assistance to number total Appellants 258 £10,047 Non-appellants 4,651 £140,360 Voluntary recruits 1,397 £49,036 Members N.Z.E.F. 2,884 £79,731 \ ■ Grand total 9,190 £279,174
