SHUN THE DOLE
SYDNEY WOMEN STREET MUSICIANS WITH TALENT. SYDNEY, Saturday. Two young women who attracted a crowd in King Street yesterday afternoon, one singing and one playing an American organ, said that they would rather not give their names to The Sydriey Sun because their children would be teased by other schoolchildren. Both live at Abbotsford, their husbands are out of work, and they travel every day to town to sing in the streets to lceep their homes together. They said that their occupation of street-singing prevented them from receiving Government food relief, but as it provided them with eash to pay their rent occasionally it was better for them. The girl who plays the organ is 28 and claims to he a certified music and singing teacher. The other, who is older, said she took a scholarship for singing in the days when things were good. They say that they get a lot of fun out of street-singing, have been arrested once or twice, but are determined to keep going. On one point they are definite: "No dole for us." . • V •- y
