"THERE are people in this town A receiving charitable aid who should not be getting it,” said a speaker at a meeting of unemployed at the Civic Square this morning. “You can see them at the Charitable Aid Board’s office every day in their fur coats and with their bangles and wristlet watches,” he continued. “I wfent along the other day and the chairman told me that I was paying too much rent. He wanted me to shift into rooms.” The speaker paused in order to let the enormity of the suggestion sink in “Into rooms,” he bepeated, “where I would have to put up with the inconvenience of not being able to play my gramophone.” And they say that New Zealand is not a musical country.
