North, of the staff of the Stratford Post Office, who has been appointed assistant supervisor of the Invercargill telephone exchange, began her duties yesterday. Mrs W. Orr, Balfour, a Dominion vice-president of the W.D.F.U., is visiting the North Island. She addressed a provincial meeting of the division at Wanganui and later went to Palmerston North and Hawke’s Bay. The St. John Ambulance Women’s Guild appeals to the public for old or new material to be made into bandages for use in an emergency. The need is urgent and the response is required at once. Persons may ring Mrs W. M. C. Denham (president, 1324) or Miss M. Todd (secretary, 525 R) to have material collected. •
