I wish to take this opportunity of mentioning the excellent
services that have been rendered by the Voluntary Helpers at our
Centres. May I also tender my best thanks to the Members of
the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee for the co-operation
and help I have received from them during the past year.
Maternity and Child Welfare Work.

This was celebrated on June 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th.
