SALE OF HEALTH STAMPS A representative meeting was held in Khe postmaster’s room last week with a View to furthering the sale of health Stamps in the Milton district. The Mayor (Mr C. Keinan) presided. It was decided to approach all business houses to use health stamps, to organise sales through the schools, and to make a canvass generally in the district. The chairman mentioned that the health camp at Pounawea had received a proportion of Milton children and that the camp was financed through the sale of health stamps.

At the conclusion of the meeting a letter was received from the secretary of the South Otago Health Camp Executive requesting that a health camp committee be formed locally with a view to furthering the interests of the community in the work of the health camps in general and the Pounawea health camp in particular. It was pointed out that a committee had been formed in Milton some years ago, but had been allowed to lapse, although the sending of Milton children to the camp had not ceased. It was unanimously agreed to form a committee, and the following officers were elected:—President, the Mayor, Mr Keinan; secretary, Mr F. W. McDonald; treasurer, Mr L. G. North; committee—Mesdames J. Gray, I. C. Vidal, L. G. North, Miss H. Hislop, Messrs W. Grant and I. F. Thomson, with power to add. For some considerable time four members of the committee have been meeting the Dunedin children bound for the Roxburgh camp, and have catered for their needs at the Masonic Hall. Some 20 to 30 children have been attended to on each occasion. FREAK LAMB A freak lamb was discovered on the property of Mr T. M. Scott, Main South toad, on Sunday. It had eight legs, two tails, its eyes were close together, and Its nose was merely a flap over its eyes.
