AID FOR ORPHANS
PENSIONS ACT CRITICISED “NEEDS BOILING DOWN” “The Pension Act needc. boiling down,” said Air. AI. J. Savage, M.P.. when the Hospital Boards Association’s report on pensions for children born out of New Zealand was considered at the Auckland Hospital Board yesterday. He recounted a ca jse in which the father died one day and the motier the next, and because the mother had not applied for a widow’s pension—which she had had no opportunity of doing—the children could get no assistance from the State. “There should be an orphans’ pension, but there is not,” declared Mr. Savage. There was only one department in the land to which such cases could come and that was the public hospital. Air. Savage stated he would bring the question up in the House during the session.
