The Feilding Star Oroua and Kiwitea Counties’ Gazette FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929. WHAT WE WANT

Jill- Victor Smith, ns Fojiding’s very energetic and watchful delegates on the Hospital Board which centralises in. Palmerston, moved at yesterday’s meeting of that body that Jn framing its estimates for the coming year it should make provision for a maternity hospital in Feilding. Air Smith is to he commended for framing (his proposition, and it is to he hopes that (lie delegates from the other country areas will support his motion. AVhy should all the benefits of tlio hospital he monopolised by the pig town? Foil ding’s delegate would p 0 justified in claiming at the hands of the Board the erection of a cottage hospital and maternity ward in our town for the rendering of urgent aid ro sufferers'in. Feilding aiwl its districts flint, so far have no place of 'refuge closer than Palmerston, which is inconveniently situated so far as Feilding is concerned. It goes without saying that Air Smith will push his proposition.
