1,000 Babies In 26 Years

ON March 2 a very happy and informal party took place in the Parish Hall, Suva, to honour Nurse Grace Morri son who has not only performed the won derful task of bringing babies into the world, but has remained a friend to the mothers afterwards. The occasion marked the birth of the I,oooth baby at Nurse Morrison’s Home and grateful mothers gathered together to show their apprecia tion and gratitude to their old friend.

A lavish afternoon-tea was served and on behalf of all those nresent and many who were unable to attend. Mrs. Dan Cos tello, after a bright speech, presented Nurse Morrison with a suitably inscribed silver cake dish and a cheque.

Nurse Morrison belongs to no Trade Union, and her hours of toil are long and arduous, but she has been a God-send to prospective mothers in this small town of Suva which boasts no other nursing home and babies, of course, like the brook, go on for ever.

That Nurse Morrison is spared to carry on her good work for a great many years to come is the sincere wish of all who have enjoyed her hospitality.—G.
