“ If a man could get a free bed and 7s a week to buy beer and tobacco, he would stay in town and not go on a farm,” stated Mr Minogue at a meeting of the Ashburton Unemployment Committee yesterday afternoon. When other members protested, Mr Minogue stated he was talking from experience of three unemployment centres. So long as the committee looked after the “ duds ” they would stay in town. He said they should be forced to go into the country. Mr T. Gibson said the Ashburton men were not of that type. If the work was available they would go out to it. revived love. 'New love is brightest, and long love is greatest; but revived love is the tenderest thing upon earth. —Thomas Hardy.
