FAMINE RELIEF
GREATER EFFORTS NEEDED THIS YEAR “We in Canterbury can take some pride in the results achieved to date, but we must in the name of humanity do far better in the future,” says a circular letter issued by the secretary of the Christchurch Famine Emergency Committee (Mr E. A. Chivers) to district committees and Red Cross branches and sub-centres. Setting out the basic points of the campaign—further voluntary rationing. the collection of waste fat, the avoidance of waste, better mealplanning, increased production, and the dispatch of gift foods—Mr Chivers says 1947 will call for harder work and bigger results. “What we are doing in the war against hunger is a grand job of work in the name of friendship, of sympathy, of humanity. The work goes on into another year, bearing greater rewards in that heart-warming satisfaction which comes within ourselves with the helping of others,” he says.
