THE UNEMPLOYED.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I have read with interest, from time to time, letters in your issue drawing attention to the privations of families of the unemployed. To me, as a countryman, such letters seem strange when I see all round the country thousands of hares and rabbits waiting to be caught for human food. Surely some of the city firms that deal in such game could arrange supplies to the unemployed. The method suggests itself: arrange for a central authority for receiving and distributing; railways provide ice-packed trucks; country lorries supplied with ice (where procurable) collect from the rabbiters,' who could save all carcasses readv paunched and skinned—in the case of the paunched only with salt put inside. , , . What about hare drives, as in war time There seems to be plenty of people about with money to spare to shoot tor pleasure—why not shoot for helping those who need food? I leave these suggestions in the hands of the Mayor and his helpers.—l am, etc., February 6. Countryman.
