I arrived in Marshfield an hour before the meeting. I wondered why Drake, the chairman had thought that my presence was so important. I went into the local Party office. I had to be present every Friday evening and I intended to do so for years. My work was to interview a couple of dozen constituents about their housing problems, their pensions and a lot of individual problems.
After a year of elections I started to make excuses. I couldn't find houses for people when the houses didn't exist. I thought that these constituency problems were better dealt with by letter. In reality there was so little I could do to help people, who waited patiently to see me.
I wanted to believe that they had called me in order to make me promise to attend more regularly in future. I thought that I must win them back for if I lost Marshfield I would have lost everything -no seat, no right of entry to the House of Commons.
Entering the room I met Jimmy March, the Party secretary. It seemed to me that he was avoiding me. I felt that he was rather indifferent to me. I understood that something was wrong and tried to promise to be along more regularly on Fridays in future. I drew from my experience that I should do my useless work and make image that I am helping people.
