At the meeting of the Society for -the Health of Women and Children held yesterday afternoon it was stated that, .JP, order to extend the work and to • ensure the travelling nurse's services being taken full advantage of, the Christchureh Committee would like to .see branch committees formed in planes such as Lyttelton, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Oxford, etc. The Plunket nurse would work under them, and great good doubtless would result from such organisation. The boys' expositions held in the Boys' Gordon Hall, Christchurch, in 1912 and 1913 were so successful that another is to he held on the same general jplan, from August 3 to 8. Every boy who can make anything is invited to send it in to let people see what boys can do. Collections of coins, stamps, and postcards will also be provided for, as well as many other things.
