EMPLOYMENT FOR DISPLACED PERSONS
Sts,—Many British people have demonstrated a willingness to offer employment as domestic servants to women from the displaced persons' camps of Germany and Austria. Perhaps there are some who would be in a position to go a step further and offer to accept responsibility for a woman and her minor child. There is a great need of such generous action, as there are thousands of women in the occupied areas whose devotion to their children has prevented them from accepting resettlement opportunities. The formalities are simple. A letter to the Foreign Office, Room 101, 19 Princes Gardens, London, S.W.7, indicating a willingness to employ a mother and to provide hospitality for her minor child is sufficient. The result should prove rewarding. Those who are able to make such ah offer will know that they have made it possible for a family unit to be maintained, and for a child in its formative years to be removed from the unwholesome atmosphere of occupied Europe.—I am, Sir, yours, &c., HAROLD INGHAM. 15 Warwick Avenue, South Harrow, Middlesex.
