WANTED—WIFE AND JOB

UNEMPLOYED MEN WILL MARRY FOR WORK When the Mayor of Southend, Councillor Richardson, promised Jack Sinclair, an unemployed Halifax man, that he would help him to find a wife and a job, he shouldered a bigger task than lie anticipated. Sinclair has asked for the address of a woman who would give him work with a view to matrimony. Since the Mayor announced this result he has been inundated with letters from women who want to meet a man like Sinclair. . . * But now the affair has taken a different turn. From all parts of the country have come requests from unemployed men offering to take over the women who are left after Sinclair has had his choice. The applicants will marry any women, a widow included, if by so doing a permanent job is guaranteed. “I don’t quite know what to do now,” said the Mayor, Quite a number of men aspire to the hand of the woman from Henley-on-Thames, who offered Sinclair marriage and a job on her poultry farm. An applicant from Checkheaton, Yorkshire, sent a stamped addressed envelope, with the. request that the Mayor should forward his application to ihe woman. From Paddington, London, has arrived an offer to marry any woman living. The writer, who is 38, describes himself as very modest and shy.
