HOME FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN

THE DADLEY ESTATE U'RE.SS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND, March 13. Referring to the statement made by M:- C. J. B. Norwood, of Wellington, in which he expressed the hope that the national fund for crippled children might receive a further sum of approximately £IOO,OOO from the estate of the late Mr H. S. Dadley, of Auckland, enquiries made from the Public Trustee, who is administering the estate, have elicited the information that under the terms of Mr Dadley's will the estate must be applied to the establishment and maintaining of a home for crippled children in Auckland.

Mrs Dadlcy, who is advisory trustee in the estate, had expressed her pleasure that the cause which her husband had so much at heart, and for which he had already made some provision, had now also appealed to the generosity of other citizens. There was no reason why there should not be friendly co-operatjon between the two schemes, but having regard to the terms of the will, it was impossible that the funds in the estate could be made part of the national fund now being raised. By the terms of the will the estate funds must be used for a home for crippled children in Auckland.
