Pictures For Children
AU children like to draw and paint and amuse themselves by looking at pictures. When a child is ill in bed at home ar in hospital pictures bring interest and colour into his life. With this thought in mind, Mr John Carlton, who is an orderly at the Christchurch Hospital, decided that walls of the children’s ward needed some pictures.
He discussed the idea with the sister-in-charge. Sister P. M. Reaney, and she agreed. Mr Carlton obtained an airline poster, showing an Elizabethan actor, from a Christchurch travel agency. He had it framed—the cost was £2 12s —and put it on a wall in the children’s ward. “It’s a great hit with the children,” he said.
There are not many pictures in the ward. Mr Carlton estimates that it needs three to four dozen. He would like to see firms, organisations, and individ. uals donate more pictures of interest to children to the ward. “I am sure that if people realised how much the children love pictures and the interest they take in them, they would provide them,” he said.
