MELBOURNE CENTENARY
WOMEN GETTING BUSY Fifty organisations of women, urban and rural, aro making busy preparations for the Melbourne Centenary celebrations, beginning in October next year. They propose to raise £50,000 by a shilling drive and hope to gain much more by selling little books and certificates giving biographies of women pioneers and graphic scenes from their lives. A bronze statue will probably be erected bearing memorial panels to women pioneers. Country nursing colleges, a cancer Hospital ward, extensions of children's well are work, a college of social science, civic beautification schemes and other proposals make up an extensive programme. One of the features will be an Empire knitting competition with Australian wool, for which there will bo rich prizes open to every woman under the British flag.
