WELFARE OF THE AGED
Sir,—l thank Dr. Donald for his courteous response. The residents at Howardville, based on the preliminary survey, collectively place themselves in the 8 per cent, institutionally-con-tontrolled group. Their future alternature accommodation is of paramount importance and may warrant the interim reservation of the students’ collection, £lBB2. The 92 per cent, independent neglected majority find poor solace in the knowledge that the £2OOO subsequent collection will be allocated semi-frozen to social service associations. Why adopt this procedure with specific funds when production of their pension certificate should suffice? Dr. Ddnald, as council chairman, has by-passed my reference to pension increases, feasibly as sub judice, pending an executive meeting, for whose guidance I quote Mr Holland's partial election policy in the Theatre Roval, Christchurch, on August 13, 1951: “Greatly to increase and improve the social security system.” The Prime Minister has provided the council with the requisite ammunition.—Yours, etc., _ , HUMBLE HARRY. July 19, 1953.
