Fashion Parade

An entertaining fashion parade was held in the Nurses' Recreation Hall at the Cook Hospital on August 28 with 30 models taking part. They were from five sections of the hospital staff-nurses, occupational therapists, theatre staff, district nurses and dietitions. The show was sponsored by Common Shelton & Co. Ltd.
