FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN

(To the Editor.) Sir, —The information published in your issue of July 10 relative to the conference of the New Zealand Crippled Children Society makes "most interesting reading, although it would appear as if Ihosc taking part in the discussion avoided making any mention of the bequest of approximately £100.000 made nearly two years ago by the late 11. Si Dadley, of Auckland. It is a fact that the bequest is subject to a life interest, and thus it is not available at present, but surely the knowledge of such provision for the benefit of cripple children should not be kept in the background. It is the duty of all persons to help to the best of their ability those who are handicapped in the struggle for existence, ! and all possible praise should be given to the Rotary Club for the action it has taken in its effort to make life easier for the crippled children, but surely the above-mentioned gift delermined upon and provision made for it prior to any similar action being j conceived in New Zealand deserves some notice from those who were present at the conference. It may be that as the gift affects only the Auckland children delegates from other parts of the Dominion, were not aware of it.— I am, etc.. CORNUBIS.
