It is hoped, by this means, that a number of unemployed women may be placed in domestic positions in the country. It is realised that the farming community Is fetelfng the effects of the depression, and, therefore, the principles of the 4a Scheme for males be applied to females. If any of your members are in need of domestic hJelp, will you kindly communicate with this office, and a n endeavour will be made to select a suitable person to fill the position. A subsidy up to 5s a wesek will be paid in all approved applications.
