A distinguished surgeon, Sir John Lynn Thomas, of Wales, is expected to arrive^ at Wellington early next month, says "The Post's" Auckland correspondent. Lady Lynn Thomas, who i& accompanying her husband, is a cousin of Dr. C. Campbell. Jenkins, of Manurewa. During the visit, the object of which is to escape the-English, winter, it is likely that Sir John'will attend the annual conference of the New Zealand Branch of the British Medical Association in Auckland, and he may also go to Taupo for. trout fishing. Sir John Lynn Thomas, whose home is in Cardiganshire, was kirghted in 1919 in recognition of the" eminent place he holds in the surgical world. In addition to. many notable consulting' positions, he is surgeon of the King -Edward VII. Hospital and a member of the council of the Royal College of Surgeons in England. He served with the Welsh Hospital in South Africa, in connection witlrv which he holds the Queen's and King's Medals. During the Great War he held the post of chief surgeon in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He was principal medical officer with the Welsh Army Corps, and was mentioned in dispatches. He obtained his F.R.C. in 1892. In addition to his extensive prac^, tice, Sir John is author of numerous medical papers. Lady Lynn Thomas likewise has had a notable career. She is a prominent official in the Red Cross oiganisation in Cardiff (Wales) and in St. John's Chapter there, and holds the Royal Red Cross (First Order). A correspondent states that the name of the,boy over six months of age who was the prize-winner at the baby show at Newtown Park in connection with Welcome Week is Edward Sundberg.

The following items of interest are from "The Post's" London correspondent :—Three New Zealand singers who are taking instruction at the present time in Rome are Miss M. Esquilant, Miss Teresa" M'Enroe, and Miss Eileen Driscoll Mrs. P. C. Corliss (Wellington) has recently delivered to large audiences, under the auspices of the Victoria League, useful lectures on New Zealand, and the League has arranged for her another programme when she returns from the South of France. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Moss Davis are going to the South of France to escape the winter in England. They are going to make their headquarters at Monte Carlo. . . Mr. Marcus Marks (Wellington( and his sister are having a delightful time on the Riviera, making their headquarters at Nice. They travelled through' France, Switzerland, and Italy, and had a very enjoyable tour. Already the Cote d'Azur is filling up, and every day the Promenade dcs Anglais becomes more crowded. All the casinos are in full swing, and there is plenty, of gaity everywhere for the visitors. Mr. Marcus expects to remain on the Riviera until the first week in April, then to return to London in time for the University Boat Race and the Exhibition. He hopes to leave on his return to New Zealand in May. In her presidential address at the National Council of Women, Melbourne, Mrs. Henderson drew attention to sev,eral matters that awaited consideration. Among these was the cinema. Statistics showed that on an average every person in the United Kingdom went to the pictures once a fortnight, and it was obvious that tho cinema had become the cheap amusement of the whole people. Investigation in England had shown that the effects of it for good and evil on the community were enormous. There was a -censorship of the films themselves, but Mrs. Henderson said that a demand must be made for stricter censorship of film advertisements; for the difficulty is that the more objectionable deal in suggestion, and censorship, while it can and often does restrain flagrant indecency, is very timid about dealing with suggestion. These advertisements, she declared, were so glaring and omnipresent that they formed the most striking adornment of our streets, and their influence on the minds of children was enormous. To combat this,- she suggested that the council should form a special committee and do its own censoring. It could then help parents by making known those theatres where children could attend without coming into contact with wrong ideas, and by inference letting parents know which cinema theatres were unfit for children.
