The arrangements made locally for the inauguration of a relief fund, and for dealing with cases of distress have proved admirable in conception as well as in execution.
With great care and with an intimate knowledge of local conditions the area has been apportioned into districts, and in its choice of persons to serve as collectors towards the fund as well as investigators of distress cases the Relief Committee has been particularly fortunate.
The sum collected by means of house to house visits already exceeds £150, and, as yet, several of the collecting books have not been handed in. Eight cases of distress are being relieved. We have been requested by the Secretary (Mr. Mod. Thomas to publish a list of the authorised persons appointed as collectors and investigators for the respective districts, and where relief is needed these persons should, in the first instance, be notified.
