CO-ORDINATION OF RELIEF
SOCIAL WORKERS' PLANS The co-operation of all relief societies, largo and small, as one organisation, was a desire reiterated at the meeting of the Auckland Social Workers’ Association this week. The Rev. G. E. More ton presided. The chairman said that more than 20 societies had affiliated with the association, and the association had appointed a registrar, who was to keep a record of all help granted by different workers. In order to obviate the abuses that would follow the overlapping of one society by another, coordination was essential. The Hospital Board, although not affiliated, was willing to co-operate in the prevention of overlapping, and an officer of the board’s relief department was usually present at the meeting of the association executive in an advisory capacity. The Rev. G. E. Moreton, the Rev. C. G. Scrimgeour (treasurer) and the Rev. T. Halliday (secretary), were appointed as a committee to go more fully into the ways and means of coordinating tho work in order to make the association a greater force in helping the poor and needy in the city.
