HEALTH STAMPS
Assisting A Good Cause At the present time there are 100 boys in the Otakl Health Camp who will remain there over Christmas and until January 4. The maintenance charge for all children admitted to the camp was recently fixed at 19/6 a week for each child and 2/9 a day for any portion of the week, inclusive of admission and discharge.
The cost of maintaining 100 boys is obviously heavy, and although the King George V Memorial Fund provides funds for building camps the responsibility of carrying them on rests with the public. For this reason an. appeal is made to every one who is using the post to affix health stamps to their Christmas packets and parcels. The pennies soon add up, but many pennies are needed if the benefits of the health camps are to be extended to all who need them.
It is a small thing to buy a few health stamps, but their purchase means a big thing to the children. A happy Christmas can be given to many by the simple expedient of purchasing health stamps, and In doing so laying the. foundations of a healthier nation.
