NURSE MAUDE ASSOCIATION

NEW BRANCH FORMED AT RANGIORA A branch ot the Nurse Maude Association was formed at a public meeting held at Rangiora last evening. Preliminary arrangements were made for a district nurse, Miss Elspeth Croy, to begin duty in Rangiora soon. The meeting was addressed by members of the Nurse Maude Association and the North Canterbury HosEital Board. It was stated that the department of Health would need to be convinced that there was sufficient work to keep the nurre occupied before she was appointed permanently. In the interim, however, she would be engaged for a year. Her activities would be restricted at the start to a radius of two miles, and it should be understood that she would not be able to do anv domestic work. The Mayor of Rangiora (Mr C. W. Tyler), who was elected chairman of the new branch, said that donations and grants in hand or expected amounted to about £lOO, leaving about £2OO to be found for the first year’s bperations.

Mr C. Campbell was elected secretary of the branch and Mr J. S. C. Thomas treasurer.
