OBJECTION TO PYJAMAS
OLD BUSHMEN'S CUSTOM A statement that tlic compulsory wearing of pyjamas would revolutionise the manner of living of some inmates of Hie Memorial Home was made by Mr 11. J. F. Tombleson al a meeting of the Gisborne Hospital Board. Many old bushmen, he sa,id had acquired the habit of removing only their boots and trousers before going to bed. The medical superintendent, Dr. R. J. B. Hall., said three of the men would not sleep in pyjamas, but would agree to nightshirts. The main difficulty was undressing in a cold room and once heating was installed in the dormitories there would be no more difficulty.
