Women Ministers A decision to set up a special commission to consider and report on the question ol' the admission oi women into the ordained ministry of the church was made by the Methodist conference in Wellington. Ol the problems that confronted a special committee, the main ones were the type of training to be given deaconesses and assurance that employment would be forthcoming at the end of their training. A. Futile Proceeding At last meeting of the Auckland farmers' Union Executive a member made the statement that apples were recently brought from a commercial orchard in the Otorohanga district, right past the local school to Auckland grading stores, and were then railed back to Otorohanga for distribution. It was decided to draw the attention of the Minister of Marketing to" the report for confirmation or otherwise.

Magistrate's Court The monthly sitting of the Whakatane Magistrate's Court is to be held to-morrow. German First Aid Evidence of the Germans' loresight in making the lield treatment of wounded soldiers as simple as possible, and in ensuring that the bandaging of wounds shall be executed in accordance with approved methods, is given in a specimen of their triangular bandages which has been received from Lbya by Miss D. Whitcombe, of New Plymouth. The bandage is illustrated with the figures of men, by means cf which is shown the method of application to wounds on different parts of the body. Each illustrated bandage application is given a number which apparently corresponds with a textbook key explaining the system of treatment for different wounds. The key was not sent with the specimen bandage, but the scheme is obviously intended as an assistance to soldiers in the field who may not have had much first-aid training..
