The women of Canterbury are to be asked to help the Women’s Unemployment Committee by. accepting the responsibility of caring for a child of unemployed parentage. This would entail the providing of material for the clothes, or perhaps the books used at school. It was pointed out that sometimes people would not help unless they had some definite object. The care and welfare of one child would give them that object. “It would not be necessary for the child to be taken into the house/’ said Mrs E. Denniff, the mover. “That is not the idea.’’’ Mr R. T. Bailey said that the scheme was outside the work of the committee, but it had a very good object, and if it could be arranged something definite would be accomplished.
