FIJI GOVERNOR PRAISES NEW ZEALAND EFFORT
Mr P. J. Twomey, Secretary of the Lepers’ Trust Board, has just received the following communication from Sir Brian Freeston, Governpr of Fiji:— “Having recently paid my first visit to the Leper Settlement at Makogaj, I am now in a position to express to you my personal appreciation of the magnificent efforts made over a number of years by the Lepers’ Trust Board Incorporated of New Zealand towards the welfare and contentment of the inhabitants. Not only by repeated and liberal donations, but also by its unfailing interest and sympathy has the Board earned the lasting gratitude of the sufferers, and I should like to place on record my sense of obligation to the Board, and to all its supporters in New Zealand for their sustained and disinterested generosity.”
