our pleasure. One case of illness I regret very much having to
report. A girl developed chicken pox during the first few davs
and had to be sent home. It afterwards transpired that a sister
had suffered with this complaint during the previous fortnight and
the parents had failed to call in a Doctor or notify the Medical
Officer.
No report of this kind would be complete without some
expression of thanks to those who make it possible for these
children, many of whom have never been away from their parents
or the home environment before, to experience the unfailing- joy
of a REAL summer holiday by the sea.
