Poverty
Wrecks

Homes

The suffering unemployment
brings to parents and children
was described in human terms
by Miss Beesie Touzel, execu-
tive’ director of the Ontario
Welfare Council, in a letter to
the Toronto Star following the
announcement of special grants

by the provincial government to
municipalities

for unemploy-
ment relief.
A long-term solution should be
worked out by senior govern-
nts, as the problem of unem-

LADIES STAGE

Fifth Annual Banquet of the
Ladies Auxiliary of Local 1-
357, IWA, was held May 11th,
in the Russell Hotel, New
Westminster, with Local Union
Officers as guest speakers.

Business of the evening was

preceded by a turkey dinner dur-
ing which the Auxiliary birthday
cake was cut by President Mar-
garet Seabrook.

The guests, Joe Madden, Pre-

sident; Rae Eddie, MLA, Record-
ing Secretary; Andy Smith, Safe-
ty Director;

ployment will not vanish with the
Snow, she warned.
No Income
“Regardless of numbers, the
problem of unemployment con-

cerns men, women and children,”
Miss Touzel said. ne
“means cold, hunger, fear, anger
and defeat.”

No income

“Many families today are hun-
gry. This is not the hunger that

we all know on occasion, this is

the gnawing pain of never having

enough. This is mothers and fath-
ers reducing their portion
favor of the children, knowing
well that their hunger still will
not be satisfied. This is babies,

in

who should he round and rosy and
chuckling, who are instead pale,
thin and crying constantly from

hunger.
Cold Houses
“Many families are inadequate-

ly clothed. Many are living in
cold houses, because there is no

money for fuel. These people are
praying for summer, so that they
may once again know warmth.

ANNUAL FETE

Business Agent; and Lawrence
Vandale, Financial Secretary in
a few well chosen words paid
tribute to the work and spirit
of the Auxiliary members.

The election of officers fol-
lowed. Officers elected were:
President, Margaret Seabrook;
Nola Jones, Vice-President; Vel-
ma Vandale, Financial Secretary;
Pearl Smith, Recording Secre-
tary; Margurite Gobin, Warden;
Margaret Nashnik, Three year
Trustee; Mary Brown, Conductor;
Sophie Rosen, Social Chairman.

Surely it is obvious that condi-
tions such as these are ’contribut-
ing to the municipality’s hospital
bills.

There are so many things the
unemployed and their families
have to fear: Fear of the land-
lord, fear of illness, fear of sep-
aration, fear of men and their
wives of facing each other when
desperation sets in and. some way,
any way, must be found to solve
their problems.

“Anger may result from fear.
A man who loves his wife and
children may strike them because
he feels he has failed, And anger
is sometimes expressed in crimi-
nal acts, a retaliation at the so-
ciety which rejects the man with-
out a job. Not only adults, but
children, too, know this anger,

Long, Hard Journey

“Financial assistance through
an organized program relieves
many of these problems for peo-
ple, just enough to help them to
retain their ability to deal with
their difficulties.
