CHILDREN’S CAMP
In Need of Equipment The Smith Family and the Wellington Health Camp Association are appealing for funds to permit the extension of accommodation at the Otaki camp. There is still money available for the support of children in the camp, but the accommodation is limited, and the existing funds are earmarked fox the actual maintenance of the inmates. The camp has been established for six months, and the average number of children housed is about 00, while the stay averages between five and six weeks. The cost to date has been 7/2 a week for each child, but new clothing, adequate bathroom facilities, and additional bedding are required. Ailing children from poor families have made remarkable progress in the Otaki camp, and if the money can be found the benefits in the aggregate will be far-reach-ing. If the equipment can be augmented, the camp will have room for 100 children.
