FOUNDER’S DAY
PLUNKET SOCIETY’S APPEAL TO-MORROW Sir.—May I through your columns remind the Nelson public of our street collection to-morrow, that being Founder’s Day. a day which has been set aside, throughout New Zealand, by the Plunket Society to commemorate our late Founder. Sir Truby King and his great work. This fixture was inaugurated last year and locally met with warm support. It provides an opportunity for all to give in some small degree and to help on his cherished work which has done so much for mothers and babies. Will all grateful parents to-mor-row remember the name of one whose life work was the foundation of the Plunket Society, an organisation that has brought that valued friend, the Plunket nurse to your homes, with her skilled knowledge which is ever at the disposal of you and your children. This year the committee has decided to give a share of the collection to the Truby King Memorial Fund for which a Dominion-wide appeal is being launched next week. May I ask you to remember a great | work and help to carry it on?—I am, I etc., W. E. NEVIN. President Nelson Plunket Society. I Nelson, 10th May
