KINDLY DEED
BY LATE MR J. A. LYONS. STRUGGLING FARMERS HELPED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. MELBOURNE, April 20. It is revealed that just before Mr Lyons’s death a struggling dairyfarmer at Leongatha, Victoria, wrote seeking Mr Lyons’s influence with the Closer Settlement Board to obtain an advance to buy more cattle. The man’s appeal so touched Mr Lyons that, aftei ascertaining that further State assistance was unobtainable, he personally guaranteed the man’s overdraft. The urn involved was £6O.
The guarantee lapsed by Mr Lyons’s death, but the publicity given to the itory led a woman to offer to take over the guarantee. She is now making arrangements with the man’s bankers.
