A definite step towards the establishment of Auckland’s permanent health camp, which will be built with the money allocated from the King George V Memorial Fund, has been taken with the selection of a site of 17£ acres near Mellon’s Beach, Howick, Auckland. The central council of the national children’s health camp organisation is now awaiting the Health Department’s approval of the site and will begin the construction of the camp immediately that is received. Plans are being prepared for a camp to accommodate 100 children in the winter and from 100 to 200 in the summer. A permanent camp will cater for children for whom a short stay at summer camps is not sufficient and will enable them to remain from six weeks to six -months. The camp will also relieve the pressure on the accommodat.iojL a.t. the existing camps at Motuihi, Port Waikato, and Campbell’s Bay.—Press-Association. .
