Shortly after noon Sir Joseph Ward addressed the nurses on the wharf, and on behalf of the Patriotic Society presented Miss McLean, Assistant-Inspector of Hospitals, who is in charge of the party, with a bouquet. Jupp's Band played a number of airs at the vessel's side. Each nurse received from the Nurses' Association an electric torch, and the Mayoress presented them with fountain pens. Badges, designed for the occasion, were presented by the Premier. They will remain the permanent badge of this service in the Dominion. Tne emblem is a fretted medallion centred by the Geneva Cross, with a silver fern leaf on either side and the letters N.Z.A.N.S.
