PLUNKET SYSTEM
Society’s Appeal for Aid \ 1 MAYOR’S COMMENDATION “It is pot greatly to our credit perhaps that the Plunket Society .is in such a position that an urgent appeal for funds has to be made to keep the organisation going,” said the. Mayor, Mr. T. C. A. Hislop, to a “Dominion representative. “Of course I know better than most people the ceaseless demands that aie being made every week for this or that deserving object,” the Mayor continued, “and very well indeed do I know how wonderfully the public have'responded, during times of unusual stress. i “There is something national in the Plunket system; something the virtues of which have been recognised in England. Qanada, and the United States,, which has 1 made the name of Sir Truby King famous throughout the world. On one occasion Lord Bledisloe, in the course of a speech, said that he thought that there were three New Zealanders whose names would be famous for centuries after their death. The three be named were Lord Rutherford, Dr. Cockayne, and Sir Truby King. It therefore behoves all who can to help the Plunket Society in this crisis in its affairs. That at least we owe to the future generations.”
