SERIOUS DISTRESS
POSITION IN CHRISTCHURCH (Special to the Herald.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Unless plentiful assistance is forthcoming at onoe, the Salvation Army men’s home at Addington, which for the past month has been laboring under the stress of greatly increased demands of accommodation and larder because of unemployment, will not lx* able to* carry on. Week after week the financial resources of the home have been overtaxed. More money is the chief need, not to shelter wastrels, but to support in tlie meantime 40 or 50 workless men who are the finest type that Staff Captain J. Dry, in charge of the home, has seen since he came to New Zealand. “I shudder to think of wha( the winter will be like unless work is found for the unemployed,” Captain Dry told a. reporter today. “It will he worse than it is now, and that is bad enough.”
