THE response of New Zealand to an appeal for funds to supply Christmas comforts to leper patients on Makogai Island. Fiji, has been acknowledged by the medical superintendent of the sta tion.
“Any expression of thanks for the mag nificent gift of £lOOO is bound to be totally inadequate.” stated Dr. C. J. Austin. “The gift enabled us to assist the patients on a scale never hitherto possible and they realise and are thankful that the in creased comforts are due to the gener osity of the people of New Zealand.”
