FATS FOR BRITAIN

The National Council of Women held a meeting last night, with Mrs W. K. Cameron, the president, in the chair. It was reported that the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers’ Association had collected almost £3OO, which was to be used to assist Mr Philip Barling in the fine effort he was making to send tats to Britain. This money,was to be used to pay for a typist to attend to the extensive correspondence and for an assistant to help with the packing and sealing of the tins. Any person desirous of helping could obtain a 401 b tin from the liftman at the Savoy, or could leave with him a full tin of first-grade edible fat. Arrangements for the collection of secondgrade fat would be completed later. Miss Duthie reported on the first meeting of the sub-committee of the Domestic Welfare Association, and stressed the urgency for early treatment of tuberculosis cases and the need for domestic help in such cases. . . A message was received stating that Miss Ireland, diplomatic secretary to the High Commissioner for New Zealand in Canada, was arriving on Wednesday, and would be willing to speak to women’s organisations. Her address and movements were obtainable from the to Mrs C Jennings, on behalf of the Townswomen’s Guild, asked that flowers, particularly white flowers, should be brought to the Town Hall to-day to be used in the floral emblems.
