REPAYMENT OF LOAN
SACRIFICE BY RETURNED SOLDIER.
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") DUNEDIN, This Day. An effort that was made by a returned soldier to repay the money advanced to him by the Welfare Committee of the Otago Patriotic Association was related by Mr. J. J. Clark at a meeting of the executive of the association. The returned man, who had been ill, and whose family was in distress, had been advanced the sum of £8 by the association. Last Saturday he came in with the money, and expressed his regret at being so long in repaying it. He and his family had made enormous sacrifices to pay the money back, and it was learnt that he would be left with only £1 to carry on with. Tho money was not accepted, and the man was told to regard it as a gift and not as a loan. Mr. Clark used this instance to show how returned men who had been assisted -were doing their best.
