WELFARE ASSOCIATION
DEVONPORT ACTIVITIES The Devonport Welfare Association continues to do its humanitarian work in the borough and, whenever its funds will allow, it administers relief to necessitous cases. Since the month of April this year the committee has distributed food, clothes, firing, milk and medicine. The committee has been helped considerably in this work by donations from the Metropolitan Relief Association and the committee which controlled the Prosperity Week funds. The difficulty at Hobsonville has caused a good deal of extra strain upon the resources of the association, which deals only with a family's needs. Relief in this direction reoently cost the association £23 in one week and £lB in another. In fact, the Hobsonville difficulty has already cost the committee close on £7O. The general committee includes six borough councillors and every minister of religion in Devonport.
