THE COUNTRY STOREKEEPER
SERVICE DURING CRISIS. (By Telegraph—Special to Standard.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 27. While many classes in the community have been given legislative snelter from the results of the economic depression, it is the opinion of Mr T. D. Burnett that the turn of the country storekeeper has arrived. _ He asked the Finance Minister (Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates), in the House to-day, to consider measures for the relief of the country storekeeper who during the crisis had performed a splendid national service in feeding, and in many instances clothing, many thousands of down and out settlers without a vestige of security. “It is an absolute certainty,” added Mr Burnett, “that if it were not for the fine disinterested actions of the country storekeeper the demands on the funds of the Unemployment Board and the charitable aid boards would have been much greater.”
