The many friends in New Zealand of Mr Humphrey Kcmpthome, second son of the lato Mr H. E. Kempthornc, and of Mrs Kempthorne, Weybridge, will be interested to hear of his success. After gaining his degrees at Lincoln College, Oxford, he walked St. Thomas'sHospital, London; took second-class Honours at Oxford, and followed with his M.A., M.8., and B.Ch. Oxon. Three months were spent at tho Haslar Royal Hospital, Gosport, and then he joined the Royal Navy. At .the present time he is out in Hong Kong in H.M.S. Tamar, acting as surgeon-lieutenant, R.N. Ho was born at Mannamead, Plymouth, Devon.

At tho present time, being a pilot officer in the Royal Air Force Reserve, he ia training at Brough, East Yorkshire. The duration of his course there will be two months. On its completion, Mr Watson intends going to Vienna, and later he will attend an International Undergraduates' Conference at Geneva. At the beginning of October, he will go back to Cambridge for hi 3 second year. Mr H. Clouston (Wanganui) has started out on his trek' through England to Scotland, taking the Great North road as his guide. He will make deviations if useful' purpose can be served. Mr Clouston is hoping to visit schools and to talk to the children about New Zealand, his remarks to be supplemented by the showing of Tourist Department slides. A further interest will be to make known to the children the activities on their behalf of the Amalgamated Dairies, Limited, who have started "The Anchor Club" and "The Anchor Magazine," conducted by "Uncle Anchor," to induce children to become members by getting their parents and friends to buy Anchor brand butter. Mr Clouston has been provided by the London headquarters with a lj ber! *l supply of up-to-date leaflets for distribution.

Mr A. B. Malvon (Wellington), of the City Council Electricity Department, has come to England primarily for family reasons, but, in his capacity as schools organiser for Toe II in Wellington, he is intending to see something of Toe II work in England.

Clayton, joining there the London and Continental pilgrimage to the battlefields area. The New Zealand memorial at Tynecot was included in the itinerary. During the week commencing June 20th, Mr Malyon visited and stayed in the London houses: Mark I. (Notting Hill Gate), Mark 11. (St. George's Square), Mark XIII. CThe Brothers' House), Mark XXII. (Denmark Hill), and Mark 111. (South Hackney). In all of these centres he has been seeing something of their management. As there aro Toe H houses in all the British Dominions except New

Zealand, it is felt the time may arrive when one may bo established in Wellington. The centre in South Hackney ij the house set aside for visitors from New Zealand. It is a large house, and was once the South Hackney Rectory. In common with other houses, it has been given to the Movement. Mr Malyon was present at the Southern Area Festival at Windsor Castle, as well us at an overseas night at Mark XX., East Putney.
