WOMEN'S UNEMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE
The following letter has been sent by the Women's Unemployment Committee to the various secretaries of the Women's Divisions of the Farmers' Union* "With reference to the unemployment among women and girls, I wish to direct the attention of your mem- 1 bers to the fact that the Women's i Unemployment Committee has a training centre, in which unemployed women and girls are taught cooking and domestic dutres. It is hoped, by this means, that a number of unemployed women may be placed in domestic positions ir. the country. "It is realised that the farming communily is feeling the effects of the depression, and, therefore, the principle, of the 4a scheme for males is applied to females. "If any of your members are in need of domestic help, will you kindly communicate with this office, and an endeavour will be made' to select a suitable person to fill the position. A subsidy up to 5s a week will be paid ir. all approved applications. "Should any of your members care to inspect the training centre and see the girls at work, kindly telephone 33-002 and make arrangements."
