PLUNKET SOCIETY ANNIVERSARY
Special Gathering At Seacliff (New Zealand Press Association) DUNEDIN, April 30. The Minister of Health (Mr J. R. Hanan) and other members of Cabinet will be invited to attend a special gathering at Seacliff on May 11 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Plunket Society. While they are there the Ministers will meet some of the people who worked with the founder of the society, Sir Truby King, more than 50 years ago. The gathering is being arranged at Seacliff because it was there, while he was medical superintendent of the Seacliff Hospital, that Sir Truby King did much of the preliminary work that led to the formation of the society in 1907, and his home at Karitane became virtually the first Karitane hospital for babies. Sir Truby King’s old home is now the residence of the present medical superintendent (Dr. G. B Palmer). Among those of Sir Truby King’s former helpers who are expected to attend is New Zealand’s first Plunket nurse, Mrs J. Murray, of Dunedin.
