Harvey, W. E. Moyle, E. Stowell, J. Stowell and D. Stowell in their recent bereavements was carried in silence. Mrs Evans read correspondence from Miss McMillan, organiser of the A.C.E. who would be lecturing in South Canterbury at an early date. It was decided to Invite the members of the Women’s Institute, National Council, pupils of the Girls’ High School and the Technical College to attend Miss McWilliams lectures. It was reported that this branch of the Women’s Division could not find one girl who wished to enter the training school for domestics, and it was agreed that this branclj could not support the scheme financially as the strain would be too much on this section of the community.
