MEDICAL BENEFITS
SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
ODDFELLOWS' SUGGESTION
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, March 26.
The suggestion that the mediqaJ services embodied in the Social Security Act should be handled by the friendly societies is contained in a motion passed at the biennial session of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand Independent Order of Oddfellows.
The resolution, a copy of which is to be sent to the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage), is that the grand lodge, though in sympathy with the humanitarian principles expressed in the Social Security Act, respectfully suggests to the Government that the Act is seriously detrimental to the friendly societies and that the medical services as embodied in the Act could and should be handled through the machinery provided by the various friendly societies operating througho"-* New Zealand, thus honouring to some extent the many promises of the Government to preserve their wellbeing and future prosperity.
