UNEMPLOYMENT

AND CRIPPLED CHILDREN. ROTARY DECISIONS. NEW PLYMOUTH, Thursday. The New Zealand Rotary Conference concluded to-day with final resolutions on the unemployment problem, aid to crippled children, and the election of Mr J. M. A. Ilott, Wellington, as governor nominee of the fifty-third district. A garden party was held at the residence of the District Governor, Mr T. C. List. Regarding unemployment, a resolution was passed that the committee to deal with unemployment, set up at the district governors’ assembly in August last, continue its work with power to co-opt additional members and deal with the proposals made at this conference. It was felt, said Mr List, that out of the discussion and reports much information and instruction had been gained. It was in order that that committee might avail itself of the services of those who could assist the committee in solving the grave problem that power to co-opt additional members had been given.

Following a discussion of means of assisting crippled children, it was decided that the Rotary Clubs of New Zealand should make the mental and psychological condition of the crippled children of the Dominion a major activity, that steps be taken to form a New Zealand Chipplcd Children’s Society on the lines of the report, and that meantime every Rotary Club endeavour to form a branch of the society in its community and to interest all sections of the community in the work. —(P.A.)
