STUDENTS FROM DOMINIONS
ENTERTAINMENT IN LONDON
The work of the Dominions’ Fellowship Trust in London in entertaining students and visitors from the Dominions was praised in Wellington this week by Mrs R. G. Adams, formerly Miss Pauline Craig, who was well known as a violinist in Wellington. Mrs Adams, who has been overseas for nearly five years, was a student at the Royal College of Music, having gained an Associated Board scholarship. She studied the violin under Mr Albert Sammons, a leading Englisn violinis*. and gained the A.R.C.M. The Dominions’ Fellowship Trust was known during the war as the Dominion and Allied Services Hospitality Scheme, co-directors being Lady Frances Ryder and Miss Macdonala of the Isles.
“The organisation does really wonderful work,” said Mrs Adams. “The establishment is a big flat in Sloane square, and people from the Dominions. are made to feel very welcome.” A qualified pharmacy dispenser, Mrs Adams took dispensiQx jobs in and about London for several weeks during the year. Pay was good, and positions easy to obtain, she said.
Mr Adams is to enter the Royal New Zealand Navy, and Mrs Adams will make her home in Auckland.
