DEPENDENTS OF RECRUITS.
PRINCIPLE OF RELIEF..
DECISION IN CANTERBURY.
[BY TEL7.GRAPII. -PRESS ASSOCIATION'.]
TiMAß.tr, Tuesday. A meeting of the South Canterbury Patriotic Committee to-day discussed the general principles on which relief shall be afforded from the local fund. The discussion arose out of a case reported from Christchurch of a needy family of a man who had joined a South Canterbury contingent for the front.
It was unanimously resolved to assist dependents of men actually enrolled in South Canterbury Military District, independent of their domicile, and that relief to dependents not domiciled in South Canterbury shall be given through and with the co-operation of the local committee in the district where they live, if one exist?. The recommendation of the Christchurch committee on the case in point, that 12-, 6d a week should be granted, was adopted as from December 9, when the Christchurch committee began contributing the relief.
