Otago Branch

There has been nothing going on m this Branch during the past few months. Council meetings have been resumed after the holidays, and it is hoped that we shall be able to arrange a series of evenings for the winter on the lines of those given last year, which proved very pleasant and instructive. The only thing of importance to report is the collection for the New Zealand Nurses' Memorial Fund, which took place on March 22nd and proved fairly successful, over £250 being taken m the streets. It is expected that the proceeds of the entertainment given the next evening, will bring the total amount to approximately £500.

Nurse Verey has rejoined the staff of Stafford Hospital, Dunedin, after three years' absence on active service. Miss Hay, of " Prospect House" Private Hospital, has been seriously ill m Codford Hospital, England, having undergone an operation for gastric ulcer. She has been working very hard at canteen work at Salisbury Plains and Codford for the past two years. Sister Ohalmor is spending her furlough m Dunedin, and has visited various Red Cross centres, giving valuable hints as to useful articles to send.
