CHARITY IS LAST RESORT
ASSOCIATION SAYS SHOW FINE SPIRIT, WONT GIVE IN
“The moral tone of the people is good. They won't give in to relief until their last gasp,” said Mr. C. G. Lindsay, secretary to the Unemployment Association this morning.
He paid a tribute to the work of the Jewish Women s Zionist Society, which is taking over a great amount of the distress which comes under the ken of the association.
One thing the association is striving for is that such works as are charged to the fund now being collected will be arranged so that work will be circulated. “It is no use 30 men being put into semi-permanent work if another 970 are to permanently walk the street.” In his experience at least 20 per cent, of the people who had been to him were physically incapable of hard work and another 15 per cent, had been so reduced by privation that they could not go into harness. Referring to the tendency to concentrate all on helping the families, he instanced a case of a single man who had :il to support. He was the only breadwinner sickness had left. Yet he rank€*d officially as a singles man and could not get work through the Labour Department.
