SCLEROSIS SOCIETY
In the 10 years that the society had been established, it had progressed from almost nothing to assets of more than $45,000, the president of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canterbury (Mr R. S. Williams) told members at the annual meeting on Monday evening. Mr Williams said that the $2OOO which the society had given to the national research fund into multiple sclerosis was to be used towards financing an incidence survey in Auckland, but this project had temporarily been suspended. During 1971, more than $4OOO had been spent by the society in its local welfare work, and in grants for wheel chairs, typewriters and walking sticks. Officers elected were: Patron, Sir Francis Adams; president, Mr R. S. Williams; vice-president, Mr C. W. Deibert; treasurer, Mr T. A. Tucker; board members, Messrs R. R. Ward, R. Gasgill, S. Kershaw, W. Kerr, C. W. Deibert, L. R. Earney, J. Houston, C. A. Empson, Mesdames J. Hamilton, M. Darby, J. Sawers. Miss C. M. Raaf.
