Cheque Book of Kindly Actions

So many appeals are made upon both the purses and good nature of priyate und business people that what to give, and how to give it, is puzzling. The Red Cross have an ingenious way of disposing of the question to the satisfaction of the giver and receiver equally. For the subscription of one guinea and upwards the Red Cross Society provide a book of forms, and an application for assistance is met by a form being simply torn out and handed to the applicant for presentation to a branch of the Society. This saves time and does away with the dangers of indiscriminate giving. Over 1,000 eases in Wellington alone during the year ending March, 1931, received help in this manner. All this has besn a result of these cheque books of kindly actions. The present yenr has shown more distress and anffering than the last.
