RURAL RELIEF WORKERS
Sir,—Does "Relief Worker's Wife" realise that, by each and* all helping themselves, they help to end the depression. The old-fashioned race fought fate's battles with a heart full of strength and courage, and of necessity many had to leave their wives and large families for contract and casual work, providing their own camps and accommodation. Why allow anyone to dictate? Manv old men are taxed, also bachelors, who have toiled hard for years, and justice to them alone should prohibit married men's camps being abolished. Life to-day in all its difficulty has the sympathy of more than our beloved Mayor of Auckland. It is a great pity relief workers are not paid by measure, thereby encouraging the thrifty of our race to a higher principal Struggler.
