SILENT WORKERS

In connection with the forthcoming unemployed relief appeal organised by the Rotorua Relief Committee, the members of the Rotorua Women's Club certainly deserve special mention. Though for several years the club has done good work in all direetions in Rotorua, its real worth has not been so largely manifest as in the past few months and the preseht time of stress. Much work that will never be published has been done by this club. Often funds have fallen so low that members have been called upon to subscribe individually in an attempt to alleviate some of the distress and hardship under their notice and only determined efforts on the part of the members and a steady perseverance has enabled the club to carry on its good work. Concerts have been given regularly at the Sanatorium for the benefit of the patients; magazines, books and periodicals have been distributed and whole families have received benefits from funds derived from other concerts arranged by the club. In the matter of the vegetable garden and the doss house, the Women's Club has always been a moving factor and now the members are working, making- every endeavour to promote the success of the forthcoming relief drive.
