BREAD DELIVERIES

WOMEN’S ORGANISATIONS CRITICISED “LEAVING WORK TO LEAGUE” “The women’s organisations do not appear to have pushed this matter as hard as they should,” said the president of the Westland District Progress League (Mr. W. D. Taylor) when the matter of bread deliveries was discussed at last evening’s meeting of the league. “They seem to have been leaving everything to us. The next move should come from them,” he added. Mr. J. M. Bunt said that the Mayoress (Mrs. F. A. Kitchingham) had originally asked for the league’s co-operation. This had been given, but as yet the public meeting which was to have been called had not eventuated. “The local Master Bakers’ Association appears to be unwilling to take the lead,” continued Mr. Bunt. “I feel we should press for a resumption of bread deliveries, and failing our obtaining satisfaction, the Mayoress should call a meeting as was decided earlier. The people can then take action.” The subject was introduced by the receipt of a letter from the secretary of the New Zealand Federation of Bakers (Mr. G. R. Burrowes) advising that the matter of deliveries at Greymouth was one for the West Coast Master Bakers’ Association. The letter stated that the Prime Minister (Mr. Fraser) and the Minister of Supply (Mr. Sullivan) had promised to investigate the matter of giving high priority to the obtaining of delivery vans.
