The provincial president * (Mrs P, H. Jones) was in the chair, and extended a welcome to representatives from town and country branches, including* two of the three newly-formed branches at Invercargill. Mrs Jones said she felt that such a conference was a good start for the year’s work, and members would take to their branches ideas and inspirations for the tasks ahead.
