A STARVING FAMILY.
DISTRESS IN CHRISTCHURCH. CHRISTCHURCH, May 12. Stating that the distress in the city at the present time is the worst she has ever known for so early in the winter, Nurse Maude, ’ one of the best-known social workers in Christchurch, expressed the opinion this morning that a centra] relief depot should be opened immediately. Instancing the class of case she is now being called upon to help, Nurse Maude mentioned that last night she gave food to a family which did not have a bite to eat in the house. These people had been too late to obtain relief that day from the Hospital Board. They were starving when she was appealed to for help.
