HEALTH CAMPS
In her advocacy of the claims of the fund for providing permanent health camps for children, Mrs. Fraser (wife of the acting-Prime Minister) describes this public appeal as probably unique: it seeks to perpetuate the memory of a beloved Monarch who inspiringly manifested his deep and abiding concern for the welfare of the less fortunate of his people, and it aims at the enduring extension of one of the finest health movements. Mrs. Frasef's purpose in publicly supporting the appeal, as her words declare, is to enlist the fullest possible help from the women of the Dominion. They have already done much. The progress of the fund is doubtless due in great measure to their practical interest. However, Mrs. Fraser's effort to encourage an expanding flow of their contributions will no doubt evoke the response it so well merits. She has emphasised the benefits of the scheme, indeed, in a way that both sexes and all classes will v appreciate. The scheme has a national objective, and in its operation will confer happiness by means of health on a large number of individuals, these being in need of a special nurture without which all their lives would be restricted. To stimulate generous thought about that need is an activity many can share.
