EARTHQUAKE IN HAWKE’S BAY.
“White Ribboners” will all join in extending sympathy to our stricken sisters in Hawke’s Bay. On that fateful Tuesday the District Executive was to have met in Hastings, and were arranging for Miss C. M. McLay to work in their district. Mrs. Smales, the President of Waipukurau, was on her way to the railway station to take train for Hastings when the shock occurred. Bravely all are taking up their work in the stricken districts, and the greatest courage and devotion has been sliowm. The response to the call for help has been Dominion-wide. The W.C.T.U. in Wellington is co-operat-ing with other women’s societies in the work of relief. All social functions have been postponed, but our business meetings are earnest and sincere.
In face of this national disaster, we feel that the economic waste of ihe Liquor Trade must stop, and grimly in earnest we meet to do our part in the work.
