Feilding Rotary Club

At the weekly meeting of the Feilding Rotary Club Mr. A. J. Ivellow presided over a good attendance. Members were pleased to welcome Mr. Kellow on his return from a vacation and took the opportunity to extend tp him congratulations on the recent announcement that his son Gordon had been mentioned ir. dispatches. The speaker for the day was * Mr. S. McDowall, who gave an address I on the Beveridge Plan of social Insurance. I The speaker traced the development in [Great Britain of various schemes and agencies to provide relief to cover periods i- of sickness, incapacity and other hazards I of life, and explained the manner in : which, under the Beveridge Plan, all of j these existing services were to be coI j ordinated and administered as a single comprehensive whole. It was explained - , that in the report a series of proposals 'was set out but that, until the Farliae mont had approved the principles, it was II not possible to work out the details of .1 the schemes. I In expressing the thanks of the club to Mr. McDowall for his address, Mr. H. C. D. Somerset referred to a recent radio n slogan. “Churchill for War—Beveridge for s Peace.’’ From the way in which the • people of Great Britain had stood up to war conditions, they deserved an ameli- > oration of living conditions.
