FRIDAY'S APPEAL
THE NURSES MEMORIAL FUNI> During the Great War No. 1 the hospital ship "Marquette" was sunk in the Mediterranean and ten New Zealand nurses lost their lives. After various suggestions had been put forward it Avas decided that the memory ol' these nurses who hail given their live-s for their countrywould be most fittingly perpetuated not by a monument of marble or granite but rather by the establishment of a fund through ivhich help could be given their colleagues who might be in need because of sick:* ness, old, age, accident or other misfortune.
I/t is partly to assist this fund that the members of the local branch of the Registered Nurses* Association are holding a 'shop day* on Friday, March 3rd. To date no. less than 42 nurses have been assisted from this fund, and we appeal confidently to the public t6 give the cause the fullest support.
