MEDICAL CONFERENCE
DOMINION DELEGATES RETURN INVITATION FOR CENTENNIAL YEAR (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 20. The four New Zealand doctors who attended the inaugural conference of the Royal Australian College of Physicians h-d in Sydney last week returned by the Wanganella to-day. The were Drs Fred T, Bowerbank and J. M. Twhigg, of Wellington, Malcolm G-ray, of Christchurch, and J. B. McMiken, of Otaki. Asked about the value of the conference, Dr Bowerbank said there was no doubt that it was going to be of tremendous value to pure medicine and for post-graduate teaching. After all, medicine had made a tremendous advance in the past 20 years t and it had not been sufficiently recognised in Australia and New Zealand. Dr Bowerbank said it was proposed to hold a conference annually, and the next would probably be in Wellington, in about 18 months time, in 1940, although that had hot actually been decided on. The New Zealand delegates had extended an invitation to the council to hold a conference in New Zealand, but, if it were not held in the Dominion, it would take place in Melbourne.
