Misses E. S. Kay, H. M. Lewitt, F. H. McDonald, Messrs T. Neil, R. B. Stansfield, and W. H. Wylde are passengers booked to Lyttelton by the Ormonde, that left Tilbury on December 3.

Mr and Mrs L. S. Hearnshaw left England by the Ormonde on December 3 en route for Wellington. The latter belongs to Australia, so a break of two weeks will be made in Perth. Mr Hearnshaw will, on arrival, take up the position of lecturer in psychology at Victoria University College. He is the son of Professor F. J. Hearnshaw; who recently retired from the professorship of history at King's College, London. Mr Hearnshaw has been on the staff of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, in London. Before her departure for Sydney on her way to South Africa to join the staff of the Florence Nightingale Hospital,.. Johannesburg, Nurse Jean F. Jones, who was trained in the Christchurch Hospital, was entertained at a 5 o'clock party by the Nurses' Club, Mountain road, Auckland, and also by her mother, Mrs Charles Ward, Morrinsville, and her aunt, Mrs Norman Westwood, Remuera, late of Christchurch. Some evidence of the enthusiasm of "The Press Ship" members for their Christmas Mission is shown by the kindly thought of two boys at Rangiora who are sending green peas: to be included in the old -people's Christmas parcels, and a girl at St. Albans, who is sending small bunches of flowers for old persons living in rooms. Other contributions of the same rlature would be a welcome addition to the parcels, as flowers and fresh vegetables are often difficult for old people to obtain. Parcels may be left at "The Press" office on Friday or Saturday morning.
