CAMPS FOR RELIEF WORKERS.

Now that relief camps have been opened, by refusing them other means of relief, « seems that single men have not the rights ol law-abiding- citizens, so might I ask in what clause of English law is being single a cru? e - Has it never entered the Ministers mind tna* single chaps like to see a little of life the same ae anyone else? Single men have to pay the levy just the same as married men. so"why be s'o down on us? It is not our fault that so many of us are unemployed and unma T " ried. On going to these camps what chance have we of procuring a permanent position should there be one offering? I, for one, want to receive better, and to see better, things in life than to be cast away in the baekblocks. But while we do not want to tafce bread out of kiddies' mouths, we would at least like a little consideration. Let those who want to go to the camps go, and go o * luck to them, but it is very unfair to try and make us all go by refusing other reliei work. Being a relief" worker under No. a scheme, I would like to thank the Minister for the benefit received from it, and also the staff of the Mount Hoskill Eoad Board. CITIZEN-
