Postmen Work For The Children
The postmen of New Zealand are making a special effort on behalf of the children with their organized drives for the sale of the health stamp, this being the basis of health camp finance. Where the postmen have been able to complete house-to-house appeals, the results are remarkably good, showing that they have a splendid goodwill which they are prepared to turn to account for the assistance of under-nourished and ailing children. The health stamps sold during the sixth week of the campaign totalled 110,243, bringing a further benefit to the health camps of £4BO 12/6: The full results of six weeks’ campaigning have now brought £3058 19/5 into the funds of the health camps, the Auckland postal district heading the list with £587, while Wellington contributed £450, Palmerston North £236, Christchurch £205, Dunedin £176, Wanganui £167, Hamilton £157, and Napier £l3l.
