I certainly would appreciate having the priv- flgge of scanning it as foundation [or further articles.

‘Allotment Gardening-

For P. E. I.

Unemployed

- The enclosed per was read before a group no Anglican clergy- men rs.ent y. r. was written by the Rector o! Port Hill the Rev. A. H. Hart-Davies, B. A., in view of the recent work that has been done in allotment gardeni by the unemployed in Charlotte own, will be read with general interest at this time.

I At a meeting of the executive ‘of the Council for Social Service of the Anglican Church on Prince Edward Island, which was held last January. the chief item oi dis- cussion was the way the system or giving relief to unemployed men in the city of Charlottetown and other parts of the Province is be-

ing increasingly abused. Instan- ces were cited or obviously un- deserv cases who continually

spend their relief cheques on pleas- ures and luxuries. At the same time it was felt that there are man deserving cases who would we- come the opportunity to work. if such an opportunity were given them. It was stated that the auth- orities have absolutely no scheme i mind whatever for solving the u employment rohlem in this P ovlnce, other an the giving of direct relief, but that they would ivslcome any constructive sugges- tionsAfrom this or any other rep- tive body. 'I‘hose who were present were asked to study the problem before the next meeting, and I was asked particularly to prepare a paper on a book first published in 1936, entitled “Dig- Sing for a New England". or "The Co-operativo Farm for Unem loy- ed Men" by John S. Hoyland’.

The English Plan Cited

The theme of this book is that the only effective method of help- 1118 the unemployed is to adopt the plan of S. Francis of Assissi. ounder or the Franciscan Order. and to put oneself on a level with ose whom one desires to help. By so doing the depressed and dis- couraged are given new hope, a new outlook on life, and inspired to help themselves. The manner in which this principle has been put IMVII in England during he is by means of University Students and Public School Boys, going‘ to the depressed areas, such as o mining towns of south Wales or the manufacturing cen- tres of "re. stayin ing guess in tho homes o the un- em loyed". and undertaking to re- clam waste pieces of ground, and by sheer hard digging. transform- ing them into useful Allotment Gardens for the Unemployed. The s ht of boys from schools such as E n and Harrow. d hard. all day long, often in a rain, at a warbage pile or a stony piece of waste land, for the benefit or the local unemployed in 99 cases out of a 100 makes them want to lend a hand themselves. and when once the local enthusiasm is aroused.

Such friendship calls for a will- ingness on the part. of the ‘pos- ses classes’ to come and share the 1i e of these men: and to mgke a contribution by hard manual labor to the success of their cour- ageous undertakings on the land. lilxperience has shown clearly that there is no other way but this of transcending the class-barrier. It is essential to live in the men's homes and to work hard side by side with them on the land.

Such a method or friendship en- ables one to come into direct con- tact with the intensely interesting beginnings of a new social order. In all these efforts to get back to the land on the part of the un- employed men, pathetically inade- quate though many of them may seem, some degree of co-operation has to be practised. In many cases this may amount to nothin more than the fact that some fif y men combine in order to rent a field. purchase manure and seeds, put up fences, and make very rudi- mentary roads.

But in a growing number of cases co-operstion goes much far- ther than this. Sometimes all pro- duce is brought into a common stock: and is redistributed in ac- cordance with the number of work- hours putin by the mansometimes the land is held and worked in common. In a number of cases a communal midday meal is supplied. Then there is the interesting ex- periment at Cheltenham in the in- troduction of a token coinage, one unit of which is equal to a pound of Eotatoes. the men being paid wee by week in this coinage, and being able to cash their wages in produce, etc.

Excerpts Cited

(Page 129)

“There is an extraordinary ex- hilaration in getting deep down be- low class-divisions, in sharing the lot and the work of hopelessly im- poverished people, and in helping hem on these co-operative ven- tures for social and economic re- construction. The work may be in- finitesimal. It may fail and die out, leaving not one trace behind. No matter, we shall have worked together. On the other hand, it may succeed. In time we may see a slow growth all over our country (and possibly not s0 slow) of hund- reds of co-operative arms for un- employed men, fostered and helped by school-groups, church-groups, and groups of unattached Francis- anly-minded people. The member- ship of these farms will._ lt_ is to be hoped, remain strictly iunited. Ex- perience so rai- shows quite clearly that a group of more than twenty unemployed men is sure to split as- under. It is also profoundly to be hoped that production will be for use, and that every effort will be made to keep off tneopen market, from the point of view of avoid- iug competition with existing small-holders and market-garden- ers, and also of escaping the in- evitable disappointments and cat- astrophes due to the fluctuations of market prices. If production re- mains for use —i. o. if the - duce of the farms is corisum by the unemployed families working

them, or is exchanged for other forms of produce coming from similar farms elsewhere we shall

indeed be building a new co-operta- tive social order throush the founding and multiplying of these communities."
