MEDICAL ACTIVITIES AUCKLAND ASSOCIATION Outstanding events in the Auckland medical world were reviewed by the retiring president, Dr. E. J. Cronin, at the annual meeting this week of the Auckland branch of the British Medical Association. The withdrawal of so many medical men from ordinary practice for service in the Army had oeen a major problem, he said, but the release of a certain number of these doctors had improved the position materially. . Dr. Cronin referred to the large conference held here last April, which was attended by 400 members of the profession from ail parts of New Zealand. It was the purpose of the association to hold short post-graduate courses in various subjects every three mouths. The first of these, on heart ailments and hyper-tension or blood pressure, took place last month. The next one in February would, be 011 child diseases, and one would be held in May probably on surgical diseases. Reference was also made to the work of the Medical Planning Committee, and the various discussions that had taken place concerning the conditions of medical service in New Zealand. S

The following officers were elected: —President, Dr. J. McMurray Cole; vice-presidents, Dr. E. J. Cronin and Dr. M. G. Pezaro (presi-dent-elect for 1945); secretary. Dr. Russell F. Thomas; treasurer, Dr. Bruce Mackenzie; executive, Dr. Stuart B. Mackay, Dr. Allan Macdonald Dr. W. Wallace Main, and Dr. E. F. Fowler.

STOLE PAY WARRANT MAORI WOMAN'S OFFENCE (0.C.) DARGAYILLE, Friday Charged with the theft of a pay warrant for £8 10s, the property of Hose Miru, at Pallia, a young married Maori woman, Agues Miru. pleaded guilty before Mr. Raymond Ferner, S.M. Detective-Sergeant Finlay stated that when interviewed accused admitted the theft of the warrant, but would not say in what manner it had come into her possession. She had cashed the warrant at Russell, where she was riot well known. Accused had not been before the Court before. The magistrate said that for this class of offence accused was liable to be sent to gaol with hard labour. There was too much forgery of this kind going on among the Maoris. He did not want to send accused to gaol as she had not been in trouble before and because she had two children. Accused was admitted to probation for two years and ordered to make restitution of £8 10s.

FARMERS' CLOTHES (0.C.) HAMILTON, Friday The Auckland representative of an English firm wrote to the South Auckland Dairy Association yesterday, stating that a good nap material for the making of farmers' working trousers could be purchased in England if the New Zealand Government would sponsor merchants' orders to ensure the supply of additional yarn to the manufacturers. The writer said the Government evidently preferred American material, which was .55 per cent dearer than the English cloth. The association decided to send a copy of the letter to its affiliated companies with a view to bringing pressure to bear on the Government to facilitate the importation of the English product.
