FRIDAY APRIL 15, 1921. THE PLUNKET SOCIETY.
Now that a branch of the PJunket Society has been formed in Fukekohe, it ts interesting to know how other towns appreciate that organisation. Tne Wanganui Chionicle says editorially :—“We have had ample proof, for many years past, of the great good done In the Plunket Society. Ssnce u was inaugurated by Dr Frui" the death rate among babies in New Zealand has become in lowest in the world. The Inereasis work of the Plunket nurses show,;; how greatly their hi*lj> is needed and appreciated. Du via- the last month over 1000 mothers and children visited tiie local Plunket rooms. Healthy children are the State’s best assets, just as sickly children are the State’s greatest liability. The work of the Plunket nurses helps to maintain ihe health not only of the children, but also of the mothers. All who iieip to further the Society’s work are doing something of national importance. particularly now when losses'
through war and illness have to be made good.” Therefore all who can should attend the concert to-night in aid of the local Society’s funds.
“We nothing extenuate, nor aught set down in malice.”
