WORLD IN NEED
At a refugee camp in Europe holding four hundred of Hitler's ex+slave labourers, a representative of an international refugee organisation had three jobs to offer. They were foundry jobsand his problem was how to pick three men from the great number looking for employment. He moved around the camp making his choice, and as he went out of one room, two young) men, both too slightly built for the
heavy work involved in the foundry, followed him. "Please get us out of here," said one. "Don’t leave us. in the lurch. We'll rot if _ we have to stay." But the official had no more jobs to offer and had to leave them. This in-
cident is taken from a documentary programme "A World in Need," which shows how New Zealand’s comparatively small relief organisation CORSO is working along with other organisations to relieve suffering such ‘as that depicted here. Included in the programme are lively appreciations from some of those who have received the skim milk, the blankets, and the dresses sent from these shores, or who have benefited from the equipment purchased with the aid of CORSO funds. A World in Need is written and compéred by Bryan O’Brien, and can be heard from 1ZB at 4.30, 2ZB at 4.0, 3ZB at 6.0, 4ZB at 2.0 on April 22.
