WON’T HAVE A BATH
INMATE OF BUCHANAN HOME. INSTRUCTION OF THIRTY YEARS AGO. “I suggested that they should change the bath day and catch him unawares,” remarked the chairman, Mr H. H. Mawley, when it was reported at yesterday’s meeting of the Wairarapa Hospital Board that an inmate of the Buchanan Home was causing worry as he frequently ran away when his weekly bath day arrived. He also refused to be sponged in bed. “He says that a doctor told him thirty years ago that he was not to have a bath,” reported the Matron. Apart from the suggestion of the chairman, no solution of the problem was forthcoming.
