Newspaper Article – Elsie Leipst to Korea
SOUTH KOREAN children will have a personal link with New Zealand when Sister Elsie Leipst from the Memorial Hospital, Hastings, is nursing in the Masan Hospital, 40 miles from Seoul.
The Save the Children Fund is sending this popular sister, the first nurse from New Zealand, with the good wishes of all those who remember less fortunate children overseas.
Besides nursing in Hastings, Gisborne, Staratford [Stratford] and Dunedin, Sister Leipst has nursed overseas in the British Isles and Palestine.
Mrs. A. H. Hutchins, a grand-mother who has had eight children of her own, but finds time to be president of the Hastings Save the Children Fund branch, presented Sister Leipst with a rug for her journey just before her departure.
