Meals on Wheels

Latest Cook Hospital Board scheme to care for Gisborne's elderly folk is "meals on wheels". The idea is to ensure that people unable to care adequately for themselves get one hot meal a day.

One couple, Mr and Mrs H. Gould, of Stout Street, is already receiving the service at a nominal charge of 1/- a meal. Mrs M. Miles, supervisor of the district nursing service, delivers the meals.
