NURSES’ MEMORIAL FUND
DOMINION APPEAL BEING MADE. An appeal is being made throughout New Zealand on duly 1 for the Nxirses’ Memorial Fund. This fund was established when the Marquette was torpedoed during the Great War, for the use of indigent nurses, the feeling at that time being that the most pleasing form of memorial to those who were lost would be one to benefit their fellow nurses. ' Many nurses through ill-health, or perhaps having to help keep an aged parent, are unable to save for their old age. There is a central committee, established in Dunedin where all the. funds are sent, and very careful investigation is made in every case. ' This is the first occasion on which the nurses of New Zealand have appealed to the public, but owing to the Government withdrawing the subsidy of 10s for every £1 collected for the fund, this appeal has been felt necessary. Mr. Baker, of Baker and Company, Devon Street, New Plymouth, has very kindly consented to exhibit in his show window a pound cake for a guessing competition.
