Nurse Dix reported that* during October, 108 mothers andi babies had visited the Plunket Rooms, and she had called at 30 homes.

The secretary, Mrs Lyttelton Roberts, read correspondence intimating that the central council would be pleased to get in touch with any members visiting Dunedin Exhibition, with a view to showing them round the Karitane-Harris Hospital. It was reported that during the quarter the committee, had held a street stall, which realised over £l6. A sheep auctioned in connection with the stall brought £d 10s, making a total of £2l.
