Plunket Activities
When - the monthly committee meeting of the Whakatane branch of the Plunket Society was held last week, the president, Mrs Rex Morpeth, presided over a good attendance. Apologies for absence were received from Mesdames Cairns, Knights, Bryers, KingsleySmith, Bridger and Metcalfe. The Plunket Nurse, Miss E. M. Armstrong, stated that a full time Plunket Nurse was needed in Opotiki where she at present visits one day a week. The district covered by the Whakatane branch and its subbranches is too large to enable the Nurse to give the individual attention she would like to give, especially to the pre-school children. It is hoped that the Nurse shortage will ease during the next twelve months and that it will then be possible for Opotiki to have a full time Nurse.
Final arrangements were made for the Society’s annual street apueal on November 21, also for the house-to-house collection the same week.
