HERITAGE’S WORK
Society’s Role Broadening
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. June 11
Contrary to the predictions of the statisticians, the work of Heritage was continuing and did not shown any signs of diminishing, said Dr. O. C. Mazengarb, Dominion president of the society, at the annual meeting of the Auckland branch tonight. Dr. Mazengarb said the work of the society was broadening as more children of men who lost their Lives in the two world wars came under the society’s care. It had been predicted, he said, that the work of the society would cease about 1959, but there was no sign of this.
Dr. Mazengarb cited examples of the way in which the society assisted families. One boy it had helped was now a Harley street specialist, another had gained M.A. and M.Sc. honours, and a third would possibly become a celebrated concert pianist.
He said the work of the society was going on quietly and unostentatiously.
He asked the Auckland branch to assist in the cases of war widows whose children bad left home and whose income did not permit them to carry on the home.
