MIRAMAR R.S.A.
"Anpther .milestone in. our history has been passed," remarked Mr,, O. G. Smith in his - presidential address at the fourth meeting of - the Miramar auxiliary of the Wellington Returned Soldiers' Association on Tuesday. He sa!id that the auxiliary had. done much good work in the district during the slump, but as times had improved there was not now the urgent need for the auxiliary's assistance. There was, however, important social■. work that the auxiliary could do in the future. The annual report stated that the year had begun with a membership of 46, which had risen to 63 at the conclusion. Grants, consisting chiefly of grocery orders, clothing,: and blankets to necessary local cases had been made to the extent of £46 3s. The Poppy Day effort had been successful, the ladies' committee collecting £15 5s 9d. The parade held at the Miramar South School on Anzac Day had been successful, the men being addressed by Colonel H. Cowles. president of the W.R.S.A.
The election of officers resulted as follows: —Patron, Mr. J. Gordon Harcourt; chairman, Mr. O. G. Smith; vicepresident, Mr. C. O. Bell; hon. secrer tary, Mr. F. M. Thomson; hon. treasurer, Mr. B. Climo; committee, Messrs. E. G. Downe, P. J. McCarthy, A. Xj. Trower, C. V. Pell, and E. A. Golding.
