A HELPING HAND.
RAILWAVIVIEN’S PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.
A fine example of man’s humanity towards man was revealed at the meeting of the Wanganui Ho*pitai Board recently. A railway man in a Main Trunk centre, through the long illness of his wife, had incurred fees for hospital 'treatment at Auckland totalling over £SO. There was also a large account for 'the maintenance of his child in the Taihape Hospital. His workmates have come to his aid, raising by subscription amongst themselves £7O. by which it was proposed to pay the Auckland account. They asked the local board if it could make any concession regarding its account for the child. The board decided to forego its account, and passed a motion commending the railvaymen upon their generous* spirit. '
