LODGE SUGGESTION
Handling Medical Services By Telegraph—Press Association. INVERCARGILL, March 26. The suggestion that the medical services embodied in the Social Security Act should be handled by the friendly societies* is contained in a motion passed at the biennial session of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand Independent Order of Oddfellows. The resolution, a copy of which is to be sent to the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, is that the grand lodge, though in sympathy with the humanitarian principles expressed in the Social Security Act, respectfully suggests to the Government that the Act is seriously detrimental to the friendly societies and tUat the medical services as embodied in the Act could and should be handled through the machinery provided by the various friendly societies operating throughout New Zealand, thus honouring to some extent the many promises of the Government, to preserve their wellbeing and future prosperity.
