Wo are informed of the great need for a private nursing home or a registered nurse at Takapuna. Failing a fuly qualified nurse there is no doubt a maternity nurse would probably do very well. There is a reliable doctor, we are informed, and there is not any hospital or any registered nurse. We have received a letter from Ormondville pointing out the great need in that district for a nurse, more especially a maternity nurse, to settle and practise in the district. There is no doctor or nurse nearer than Dannevirke, not even one of the old registered midwives. There is a good population in the district, mostly well able to pay, and the writer thinks that if a nurse or two nurses took a house and were able to take in one

or two cases they would very well, besides being of inestimable benefit to the people. There is a house suitably available which could probably be obtained on easy terms. We commend the above to the attention of any one of our readers, who is looking out for an opening, adn would be glad to give any advice or assistance in the matter.

The Canterbury bianch of the Red Cioss of St. Johns are sending each month to the Matron-in-Chief a sum of £15 for division between the matrons of the Trentham and Featherston Military Hospitals to spend for extra comforts for the men in hospital. This is a privilege much appreciated by the matrons who are able to get many things not supplied under Army regulations.
