RESIGNATION OF SENIOR RED CROSS OFFICER RECEIVED
The resignation of Miss Iris Crooke, Director General of the New Zealand Red Cross Voluntary Aid Detachment, was accepted with very great regret by the Red Cross executive committee, Mrs A. W. Winstone, secretary of the Eastern Bay of Plenty Centre, reported on her return to Whakatane from Wellington this week. Many tributes were paid to Miss Crooke’s work. The Dominion Chairman, Mr A. E. Gibbons, said Miss Crooke’s work for the Society was beyond praise. Not only had she consolidated and enlarged the Voluntary Aid Detachment, but she had been one of the delegates to the International Red Cross Conference in Sweden last year, and the reports she had brought back had been very valuable. In addition her public and broadcast addresses had put the work of the Society before the people of New Zealand. *
The appointment of a successor to Miss Crooke is expected' to be made shortly.
