CURRENT NOTES

Miss Mary Enright was yesterday elected chairwoman of the Local Area Committee of the New Zealand Federation of Health Camps, succeeding Mrs W. F Kent-Johnston, who will leave Christchurch early next month to make her home in Napier. Miss Enright, who was also electee! delegate from the area committee to the district executive committee, is a foundation member of the Sunlight League, and has been actively Connected with the organisation of health camps since they were first established in Canterbury 12 years ago. She is also a member of the Central Council, on which she represents the Buller district. The annual report of the Christchurch branch of the National Council pf Women expressed regret at the death of Miss Frances Cooper, who was branch secretary of the council for several years, and Dominion secretary at the time of her death. The. report welcomes three new affiliations— British Israel Association, St. John Ambulance Auxiliary, and Central Townswomen’s Guild —and 16 new associate members. It expresses pleasure at two new interests—the direct outcome of the war. One is the Women ; Voluntary Land Army planned by Miss Mary McLean, one of the council s vice-presidents, and the other is the formation of study circles to study and discuss international affairs and problems of social reconstruction.

The sum of £499 was raised in the Christchurch postal area by the sale of health stamps during the 1940-41 period. Of this amount the sum of £221 was raised in the vestibule of the Christchurch Post Office. These figures were disclosed by the deputy-chief postmaster, Mr D. J. Lattimore, yesterday, at a meeting of the local area committee of the New Zealand Federation of Health Camps.

The annual report of the Christchurch branch of the National Council of Women expresses deep concern at “the increase of drinking amongst younger girls and at the apparent ignoring of laws regarding the hours during which intoxicating drink can b e sold.” The report says that members feel strongly that particularly in time of war, the protests,of the women of Nev Zealand against this national evil should be of some avail.

At a meeting of the Local Area Committee of the New Zealand Federation of Health Camps, held in the City Council Chambers yesterday afternoon, Miss M. Enright, the newlyelected chairwoman, and Mrs G. Trevor Hill, secretary of the Sunlight League Health Camp Committee, paid warm tribute to the splendid work done for health camps by the retiring chairwoman, Mrs W. F. Kent-Johnston, who for the last four years, had most capably directed the sale of health stamps in Christchurch. Mr D. J. Lattimore, deputy-chief postmaster, who attended the meeting, said that the Post Office staff deeply appreciated Mrs Kent-Johnston’s fine organisation of the sale of health stamps in the vestibule of the Post Office, and hoped that she would be as busy and as happy in Napier as she had been in Christchurch.
