"A SHINING HOME"
RESIDENTIAL NURSERY
When it was considered how busy people were and the number who were working for so many other causes, it was a splendid tribute that the Women's National Reserve branches had raised £200 more during the year for the nursery than in the previous 12 months, said Mrs. L. O. H. Tripp, chairman, at the annual meeting of the W.N.R. Residential Nursery. Tlie nursery was not a thing to be neglected. Children's health today was of the greatest importance and it was felt that women . realised this. The nursery was the only one-of its kind in New Zealand, the children only of sick mothers being admitted. Dr. Hubert Smith, Medical Officer of Health, speaking at the meeting, said the nursery was a place of which to be proud. It was a spotless shining home filled with a cheerful and willing staff and clean and happy children, many of them children of men fighting overseas.
IN PLACE OF A GRANDMOTHER. Dr. Smith expressed the opinion that every married couple should have, a grandmother handy, real or adopted to look after the children if the parents became ill. "Still if we haven't a real granny available in the flesh," said the speaker, "we have our Residential Nursery, which fulfils that want."
