NEW PLUNKET DIRECTOR

AUCKLAND BRANCH’S WELCOME Dr. Derrick, the newly appointed medical director of the Plunket Society, and Mrs. Derrick, attended the last meeting of the Auckland branch of the Plunket Society, and were welcomed by the president, Mrs. Parkes. in introducing them to the committee. “Those of us who are closely in touch with the Plunket organisation throughout the Dominion,” said Mrs. Parkes, “realise that the time has come when its illustrious founder, Sir Truby King, must be relieved of the severe strain imposed by the rapidly increasing activities of the society. “The recent annual conference in Wellington was impressive by reason of the largo attendance of delegates, and it revealed the extraordinary extent to which the society lias become a national institution. With the rapid growth and development, the responsibility of administration necessarily increases, hence the urgent need of relief to Sir Truby King, whose health lately has been lar from satisfactory. “We can assure Dr. Derrick of our hearty support and co-operation in the onerous duties he has undertaken. He is especially fortunate in possessing a wife of ability and personality, and we all fully realise from past experience what that means. Lady King was a wonderful woman, to whom is due infinite credit for the valiant support afforded to her husband in founding the society. Together they bore the heat and burden of the day, and had the satisfaction of realising the enormous value of the work to the community. We feel quite sure that the mutual co-operation of Dr. and Mrs. Derrick will be marked by a continuance of a similar success. “We very much regret that Sir. Truby must be relieved, for we realise what a benefactor he has been to the mothers and babies of New Zealand; but he himself asks, and we are quite prepared to give, just as loyal support to Dr. and Mrs. Derrick in the future as we have always given in the past to Sir Truby and Lady King.’*
