It is true and be- coming increasingly apparent that with the prolonged struggle for mere existence some people are becoming somewhat harden- ed, and embittered and are grad- uaBy losing their morale, but in many cases it is developing s very tender thought for the other fellow. Only last week, someone not too well oif herself, sent her lad to chop wood for an elderly woman, and cn hear- ing that the wood was wet im- mediately phoned the Welfare Association to o(Fer some of her dry wood if the Association could get it delivered. Often people beg to be allowed to give service or exchange some thing for what has been done for them. They say it makes them feel better, snd it evident- ly does, for after aB the whole scheme of the local Welfare As- sociation is merely co-operation, to help one another through s bad spell which has mi~d no one entirely. The suit size 42 is not yet forthcoming, but the disiributor is still hopeful. The echo"I-girl also waits for shoes size 18. The grocery shelves of course need replenishing every week as aB good housekeepers know. The Committee is grateful for two lots of woad, soap powder, soap, butter and groceries re- ceived during kst week.
