SOCIAL SERVICES
MUST BE A LIMIT
Sturdee Hall, Ghuznee Street, was filled last evening when Mr. C. A. L. Treadwell, the National candidate for Wellington North, addressed electors on social services. There was a considerable amount of heckling from the back of the hall, but there was also a fair amount of applause.
Lieutenant-Colonel A. Cowles presided.
Mr. Treadwell dealt with the socjal services that, he said, it was the duty of the nation to provide. These services must be limited by the ability of the people to pay for them. They should not be extended to such an extent that industry would suffer through supporting them.
Discussing unemployment, the candidate drew a distinction between the unemployed and those who were, unemployable through physical or other disability, and said that the latter should be a charge on the general revenue and not on the fund provided for the unemployed. He went on to advocate an extension of the distribution of free milk to school children, a national health scheme, and a continuation of school dental services.
After discussing the housing problem, the candidate answered a number of questions. Mr. E. Manoy moved a vote of thanks and confidence, which \vas carried amidst uproar at the back of the hall.
