Under these circumstauoes, 1 beg to suggest that her<Mas in so many cases m imgland, women should do their part. Although many of the women of Timaru are busy with work connected' with the war, there are yet surely a certain number whose time is not so fully occupied as to prevent their taking up the burden of civic responsibilities. Just as in the days before women in New Zealand had the parliamentary franchise, they showed by fchcir work on municipal ttodies how valuable their/ 00-operation could be, so now in' this-time of stress let thorn" cameforward;, and show their zeal for the welfare of this community.—l am etc -» " - LONDONER.
