VIOLET DAY APPEAL
P.B. PLUNKET SOCIETY STREET SALES ON FRIDAY SERVICE TO COMMUNITY With a number of issues before the public at presenlt, there is a danger of certain deserving causes, with immediate problems to solve, being overlooked. The Poverty Bay 'branch of the Plunket Society is anxious, on 'behalf of its Violet Day appeal, to acquaint the public with its plans for the annual effort to raise funds.
The appeaL will be made on. Friday, through the medium of street sales of violets and cut flowers. Every citizen and country resident is invited to aid in keeping the funds of the society up ‘to a poinlt at which the continuation of its services to the community is assured.
The society lays out several hundreds of pounds each year in maintaining a nursing service to care for babies, and the success of its programme, on a Dominion-Wide basis, has made New Zealand the leader in baby welfare and a .pioneer In' all things pertaining to safe and natural motherhood. In this district much success has attended the work of the society and its staff, and it has been suggested that if every mother and father whose occasional anxieties lhave been relieved by the work of the staff were to contribute a shilling, the immediate financial problems Of the organisation would be disposed of.
