LATE DIRECTOR OF HEALTH
SERVICES TO THE DOMINION PRESENTATION FROM INSPECTORS. ELTHAM, December 12. The respect in which Dr T. H. A. Valintine, late Director-general of Publie Health, is held throughout the Health Department of the Dominion was typified at Eltham this afternoon, when he received a presentation at a representative conference of health and sanitary inspectors from Wanganui to New Plymouth.
Speaking on behalf of the conference;, Mr Fear (Wanganui) said that Dr Valintine had endeared himself to the whole service. He was a gentleman in the true sense of the word, and always treated those under him as such. Added to this was the personal touch and charm characteristic of him. No man had done more for the public health of the Dominion than had Dr Valintine.
In the course of his reply. Dr Valintine paid a tribute to the efficiency and loyalty of the service, and urged that the control of the milk supply should be brought under the supervision of the department from the time the milk left the cow till it reached the consumer. The Mayor of Eltham (Mr I. J. Bridger) also eulogised Dr Valintine’s magnificent record of service.
