(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 15. The Rotary Conference of New Zealand, now sitting in Wellington, decided to set up a central Dominion Crippled Children’s Society, with branches in every town and city where Rotary operates. The desire is to make the proposed societies community, rather than Rotary, efforts, but with Rotary’s interest and support. A report presented showed that there are over 5000 crippled and deformed children in New Zealand, and that the number is being added to at the rate of 500 per annum.
Consequent upon ISO men accepting permanent sustenance, the half-pay week for Palmerston North relief workers has been abolished. Mr W. V. Dyer was elected Chairman of the Wellington Education Board, defeating the other nominee. Mr J. J. Clark, by eight votes to five. A resolution was passed, appreciative of the services of the former chairman, Mr T. Forsyth, who was not reelected to the Board, and an enlarged photograph of Mr Forsyth is to be obtained for the Board-room. The suggested reason for Air Forsyth ’s defeat at the poll was the uncompromising attitude he took up in regard to Sunday tennis, thereby antagonising some city school committees. He was a member for the past 16 years.
