DOCTORS DISCUSS DAYLIGHT SAVING.
WILL OBTAIN REPORTS FROM ALL BRANCHES. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, February 24. The effect of daylight saving upon the health of the community was one of the questions raised at the council of the Medical Association. The council did not record any opinion on the subject, it being decided to obtain reports from the thirteen different divisions throughout the Dominion and re-open the subject at the quarterly meeting of the council to be held at Wellington in June. At the annual dinner of the association last evening the president. Dr H. Douglas, presided. The Hon J. A. Young, Minister of Health, and Dr Valintine, Director-General of Health, were present. A presentation of a silver-mounted inkstand was made to Mr Victor Bonney as representing the British Medical Association. The stand, which is a gift from the New Zealand Medical Association, will be used in the new offices of the parent body in London. A chairman’s mallet, a gift from the English Obstetrical Society, was presented to Dr W. Irving, president of the newly-formed New Zealand Obstetrical Society, by Mr Bonney.
