Very important motions will be brought forward — viz., centralisation of the sick funds of the branches in the same manner as the funeral fund now is ; also, snperanuation and old age pensions — both questions of vital interest to friendly society members. The District President (Mr. Wm. Beehan, J.P.) invites members of other friendly societies to be present, as questions of vital importance to all societies will be discussed.
