HEALTH STAMPS

DUNEDIN SALES FIFTH HIGHEST MAYOR'S APPEAL TO CITIZENS The Mayor (Mr R. S. Black) has received the following telegram from the Hon. J. A. Young, Minister of 'Health:— “ I have been shown the progress report on sales' of health stamps up to last Saturday. Dunedin is in fifth position, following Invercargill, which so far has > sold twice as many as Dunedin. I think if this position is disclosed to your citizens and to the Press they will take steps to resume their rightful position. Next week, some one and aquarter million pieces of mail matter will pour into your Chief Post Office, and if you can get one stamp on only half of that number it will be a great achievement, adding considerably to the funds of your local organisation, which, I am informed, will hold a health camp for necessitous children this summer—a movement that has my warmest commendation.” “ The above telegram,” says the Mayor, “ appeals for practical sympathy. Thousands of children in New Zealand will benefit by the purchase of health stamps. The amount spent by each of us may not be large, but if every person uses a health stamp for each letter and parcel posted then the result will be worthy of Dunedin’s great name for giving help to every worthy cause. Christmas is near, and may I urge one and all not to delay. By giving happiness to others yon will increase your own happiness. Please buy your stamps now.”
