ST JOHN NURSE
31 Years Of Service
Thirty-one years ago Mrs E. M. Halliday decided that iti would be “a good thing to do” to travel up to Christchurch from her. home in Lyttelton twice a week to help the St John Ambulance Association as a voluntary ambulance attendant. She has done so ever since, except that in the last five years she has reduced her work to one day a week. Now more than 70, Mrs Halliday has decided to retire, and the staff, brigade nurses and committee of the Christchurch sub-centre plan to mark the occasion with a presentation in the board room on August 8.
“Mrs Halliday’s regular attendance has been of inestimable value to our ambulance service and to the many thousands of patients she has comforted,” said the subcentre secretary (Mr G. A. Brown) yesterday.
