GROCERS' GIFTS TO CEASE During the difficult times which have been experienced throughout .the recent years: of unemployment there, has been no section of retail traders which has been more liberal in its efforts to assist those whjo. ara ‘in’,the; Unfortunate: position : of being unable to obtain work-at remunerative rates than the grocers. Besides. bearing, their full share of the taxation wh'ich the Govenimeht has imposed for the relief of the unemployed, the master grocers have responded freely to 'the appeals for. help.*by relief depots, and pound a week schemes. The position has now been reached that the average' grocer,: largely because of the burdens imposed on him by taxation, cannot continue the voluntary contributions of past years. It- has therefore, been decided by the executive that members of the' Master Grocers’Association - will not "in' future mak* donations of 1 goods "to relief organisa. tions. • • NO. 4 DISTRICT .
