THE HUMAN TOUCH.
J.S. writes: It is to the credit of the Canterbury Rugby Union that it decided at Tuesday night’s meeting to accede to a request for a football made by men in a relief works camp at Balmoral. One member remarked that “he could not see many men on relief works playing football.” It ought to be realised that many of the men employed in relief works are engaged, not always under the best conditions, on road-building operations of national importance. They are in surroundings entirely strange to them, separated from their families, and, as the writer observed recently, any little provision made for their recreation after working hours is gratefully appreciated.
