CURRENT NOTES

Mrs E. Corrick-Tilly (Launceston, Tasmania) is visiting Mrs A. H. Corrick, Clissold street. She is the youngest of the musical Corrick family,, which made many concert tours in different parts of the Empire several years ago. She will leave Christchurch on Monday for Wellington, and intends returning to Tasmania in September. Miss M. Campbell (sub-mataron of the Dunedin Hospital) is visiting Christchurch, and is staying with Mrs R. T. Tosswill, Allister avenue. A musical programme of unusual interest was provided yesterday at a meeting of the Travel Club. Songs were sung by Miss Edna Graham, who will leave New Zealand soon to continue her musical studies in London. Mrs E. Corrick-Tilly, a member of a musical family formerly well known in Christchurch, played as a violin solo one of her own compositions. The accompanists were Mesdames R. S. Storie and J. C. Cullman. Mrs John Stewart and Miss M. Enright were the hostesses.

“The adolescent is the most important person in the nation’s community,” said Mrs K. Dobson, formerly a Moral Welfare Officer working among women and girls in England, when she addressed members of the Business and Professional Women’s Club at the Y.W.C.A. on the subject of “Problems of the Adolescent.” Little was being done in any country in the world today, she said, to help young people with their problems, which might be divided into three main categories, social, physical and education. In the speaker’s opinion the only solution would be for specially trained workers to be placed in every organisation and institution dealing with youth. There was also a need for better training facilities. At the beginning of the war in 1939 the Josephine Butler College in Liverpool was the only one in England with provision for a moral welfare course. Miss L. B. Bishop presided at the meeting.

At a meeting of the Civic Health Committee, held last night, the Mayor (Mr E. H. Andrews) said that 448 applications had been received for any house that might become vacant at Harewood. Members of the Canterbury Association of the New Zealand Federation of University Women met this week to bid farewell to Mrs F. J. T. Grigg, who has been a valued member of the federation for many years and who is leaving Christchurch soon to live in Wellington. Mrs Grigg has been the association’s delegate to the Christchurch branch of the National Council of Women for several years and has, in the past, held the offices of president of the association and convener of the study group. In making a presentation to Mrs Grigg on behalf of members, the president (Mrs C. Malthus) paid a tribute to Mrs Grigg’s work for the association. Miss Irene Milnes and Miss E. Baxter, who have been associated with Mrs Grigg in the work of the federation for a number of years, spoke appreciatively of the excellent service she had given. During the afternoon pianoforte solos were played by Mrs J. P. Stubberfield.
