RED CROSS INTERESTS
MISS E. HADFIELD’S VISIT STIMULUS TO JUNIOR CIRCLES Miss Elizabeth Hadfield, DirectorGeneral of New Zealand Junior Red Cross, has been visiting the Whakatane district talking to children in the schools. Headmasters have hown Miss Hadfield every assistance and those Circles which have been working for Some time will go ahead with new enthusiasm, while five new Junior Red Cross Circles have been formed.
On Monday a social evening was held in the Red Cross rooms, when Miss Hadfield gave a short talk on the aims and objects of the Junior Red Cross movement. She was welcomed by Mrs W. Sullivan, President of the Centre. Members of some of the sub-centres were also present. Apologies for unavoidable absence were received from the Mayor, Mr B. S. Barry, and Mr C. Kingsley-Smith, Scout Commissioner.
Miss Hadfield said she would like to see an enlargement of the Junior movement in the form of Social Clubs, or something similar. Mr C. Thomas outlined for Miss Hadfield’s benefit the place taken by the Junior Caledonian Club in the district, which greatly interested the guest of honour. A dainty supper served by the Red Cross Voluntary Aids brought the evening to a close. Mrs A. Winstone accompanied Miss Hadfield on her visits to the schools, as she is taking over (protem) the position of J.R.C. organiser in the area, following the resignation of Mrs N. Semmens.
