PLUNKET BABIES
VIGE-REGAL FAMILY LADY NEWALI'S TRIBUTE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 15. “ I brought up my own three children on the Plunket system, so I know what very helpful advice is given,” said Lady Newall, speaking at the opening of the annual conference of the Plunket Society at St. Francis Hall. New Zealand, as a land of healthy babies, was known throughout the world, she said, and it was wonderful work the members of the society were doing in helping to build future healthy citizens. She had met several of the nurses, and been very interested in seeing and hearing of their work. She hoped they would grow from strength to strength. The work of the society was both war time and peace time—babies and families were for all time, and the strength of a nation lay in its families, especially good families. The splendid work of the society must go on and increase in all sections. A sustained effort was what each member could contribute, and this was necessary to carry on the benefits to the community. About 200 delegates from 70 branches were present.
