Minogue (Mid-Canterbury Health Camp A ccrtPiaHnnl Following a discussion taken in committee, it was decided to instruct the council’s delegates to see that healthstamp funds were not utilised for the maintenance of permanent health camps. „ , Messrs Savage and Tyler were appointed delegates to the Dominion Advisory Board of the National Federation of Health Camps. . Authority was given to the District Executive to send children to Cholmondeley Home at a cost of up to £8 a month. . , “The Sunlight League, as an independent body, has definitely decided not to send children to the home when the Mayor’s fund (£200) is exhausted.” Dr. Currie explained. It would be a proper function, he thought for the District Executive to supply the money for the children to be sent to the home, and it would be a pity if children were no longer sent because the Sunlight League was not supplied any longer with the requisite funds. The league had sent a limited number of children to the home, and he suggested that the district executive be authorised to carry on a similar practice. Dr. Currie’s suggestion was adopted.
