![Home Helps have continued to give most loyal service. They are experienced in household duties and their main incentive is to be able to render a service to the elderly who need them. Too high praise cannot be given to these 60 Council employees who take such a keen interest in helping householders, not only attending to their physical comfort but, in many cases, bringing happiness and cheer to elderly, lonely persons.” Table XX shows particulars of the monthly case load.
