DIABETIC SOCIETY

Slight Increase In Membership To conform with other diabetic societies, forming the Diabetic Association of New Zealand, Christchurch division changed its name to the Christchurch Diabetic Society, at the annual meeting. The president (Mr G. Harris) reported that as a result of a window display in the Canterbury Savings Bank 13 new members had joined the society. There had been a slight increase in membership but this was not as much as hoped for. Forty-four members had been transferred to the newly-formed Ashburton branch, and the deficiency had to be made up. Mr Harris said that the Diabetic Association's decision to establish a full time diabetic research fellowship would cost £2OOO a year. Officers elected were president. Mr E. Blaim; vice-presi-dents, Messrs J. H. Templeton, W. J. Bews; honorary vice - presidents, Drs. 1). Beaver, C. L. E. L. Sheppard, J. A. K. Cunningham, and A. C. Sandston; secretary, Mr G. Harris; treasurer, Miss E. M. Hart; committee, Mesdaraes M. Sheppard, M. Hallett, E. F. Spain, O. Bell, Messrs P. C. Sullivan, T. Bell, G. T. Gerrard; auditor, Mr C. Halliday.

When land uses are not respected the highway can become more than the fastest way between two points—it can become a destructive river of cement, bringing blight to the suburbs, slum to the central city and disorganisation and sprawl everywhere.—Frederick Gutheim, president of the Washington Centre for Metropolitan Studies.
