An enjoyable evening party was held recently at the home. of Mr and Mrs Norman Merrifleld, Riccarton, in honour of Mr Cameron White, formerly of Lyttelton, now of Fendalton, and Mr Desmond Stock, Papanui. who were leaving to join H.M.N.Z.S. Philomel. The evening was spent in games, competitions, and dancing, and a small presentation was made to the guests of honour. An English nurse, Miss D. Clarke, who was a sister at the Ipoh Hospital, Perak, Malaya, at the time .of the Japanese attack, has arrived in Sydney by Qantas Empire flying-boat. Miss Clarke said the hospital was staffed mainly by native nurses. Some of the wards were devoted to military patients. For some time before the Japanese attack, the nurses had taken part in extensive A.R.P. training, and when the alert was given the hospital was immediately prepared to receive air-raid casualties. There were no direct hits on the hospital, but buildings near by were destroyed, and more than 50 natives were killed. Although the strawberry season has had a later start than usual, owing to the adverse weather, good supplies are now coming on to the Auckland markets.

Women and schoolboys from nearby districts are helping the growers in picking the fruit, so that tne shortage of manpower has not had a serious effect on the trade.
