K.L. was a married woman undergoing hospital treatment. Her husband
died under tragic circumstances, and she was prepared to give up her treatment
and return home. The home was visited and K.L. assured that matters there were
as satisfactory as possible, so that there was no need for her to return. The
youngest child was then boarded out and K.L. agreed to continue with her treatment.
M.N. was a married man, without family, who had to undergo Sanatorium
treatment. His wife carried 011 during his absence by doing needlework, but during
a slack period a weekly grant w as obtained from the United Services Fund, which
helped her a great deal. She herself needed medical advice, but neglected to seek
it, but after friendly relations were established she was persuaded to do so, and
later was very grateful for the persuasion used.

which has been given by the Public Assistance Committees throughout the year.
