HEALTH STAMPS

NATIONAL RADIO ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR GENERAL The National health stamp campaign will be officially opened with a Do-minion-wide radio address by His Excellency the Guveinor-Ueiieral (Viscount Galway) at 9.5 p.m. to-morrow (Sunday). His Excellency will speak before a specially installed microphone at Government House, Wellington, connected direct with 2YA studio, which will relay the address by land lino for broadcasting from the Auckland national station. The Christchurch and Dunedin national stations will i«broadcast the address from 2YA, u practice which has been successfully followed in the past. The large amount of preliminary work accomplished will enable the campaign, with its £lO,OOO objective, to make a vigorous effective start, lor the co-operation of Mayors and others, prominent in local body activity has been extremely heartening to the health camp organisations throughout the Dominion. Women helpers, who have for many years been such cunhave again offered personal service right throughout tho Dominion, and already to fewer than 86 street collections in various cities and towns have been organised with the approval of the local authorities of the latter also showing a practical interest in t&e movement by deciding to purchase sup plies of health stamps —“a penny for postage, a penny for health”—for a period. Many original ideas have been brought forward to promote the collection of funds, and the result of so much splendidly organised effort will be the creation of keen public interest and good results for the children who gain such great benefit from healthy happy holidays in the health camps held every summer.
