LEPERS AT MAKOGAI
Sir, —I recently visited the Ma'kogai Leper Station ami when I saw with my own eyes the splendid work that New Zealand's sympathy had done here, I felt proud to be a New Zealander. One of the patients, in referring to our gifts,, said, "It. is just these things that make, our lives bearable and worth living." The sufferers made a- special request that we would not forget them this Ghristmas. We have now formed an incorporated body to continue, this annual collection, and we appeal to all, young and, old, rich and poor, to help us. Gifts of cash or goods may be sent to me at 172 Bealey Avenue, Christchurch, and all donations will be acknowledged by me personally. A leaflet giving further particulars or a copy of our audited Balance Sheet will be gladly sent on request. With heartfelt thanks for past help and, trusting once again in your generosity. _ Yours etc., P. J, TWOMEY, Secretary, Lepers' Trust Board.
