Mr. E. W. Meyerstein, the hospital benefactor, has given a third £SOOO to the Princess Elizabeth of York Hospital for Children at Banstead, Surrey.
An unusual position has arisen in connection with the manufacture of Carbonettes. A few years ago the factory in the Waikato was working only short time. The demand has grown steadily and with the advent of intense cold weather throughout New Zealand the factory has had a rush of orders.
