The, funcjp ■ raised .this yeAr, the Hon A. J. Stallworthy says^,will provide a nucleus for the. establishment of permanent, children’s health camps. The damage rate of the disease,; affecting ns, it does so many people in their earlier years, is perhaps worse than tne mortality rate. It was reported recently, lie says, that there were 27 notifications of tuberculosis weekly in New Zealand. There, were initial difficulties in inaugurating the Christmas seal campaign and, an unforeseen delay in getting the stamps on sale. This no doubt affected the, measure of success. However, the Minister said tnat he was gratified.at the result and felt confident that this year it would •be at least trebled.
