Dominion Executive have quite a number of matters to attend to at the next meeting, and this tends to show the need for such an organisation at the present time.

Rakaia At a meeting of members of the Rakaia Catholic Church, held after Mass on Sunday, April 6, it was resolved to form a branch of the New Zealand Catholic Federation. Rev.
