ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING VOLUNTARY AID DETACHMENTS TO BE FORMED A very well attended meeting called by the Merivale sub-centre of the Red Cross Society to discuss the advisability of forming voluntary aid detachments (V.A.D.) was held in the Merivale . schoolroom yesterday afternoon. Mrs J. G. L. Vernon, president of the sub-centre, presided, and Mrs Herbert Smith, acting-president of the women’s executive committee of the Red Cross Society, addressed the meeting. She explained that the Red Cross Society was anxious that women should undertake training in first aid and similar work, so that in case of emergency, a band of trained workers would be immediately available to the Society for duty where most needed. This training had been undertaken very enthusiastically, Mrs Smith said, in many parts of New Zealand, notably in Wellington, where hundreds of women were receiving training. She asked for volunteers to enrol for firstaid training, which would be given on Monday evenings at St. John Ambulance Hall, Peterborough street. The lecturer would be Dr. A. M. Hartnell and the classes would begin early in October. The response to Mrs Smith’s appeal was excellent. Seventy women enrolled at the meeting, and others who were unable to be present had indicated their intention of joining the classes. Before the meeting closed, Mrs Vernon expressed gratification at the excellent support the movement had received, and said that it was 1 likely that two classes would be held each week —one on Monday and one on Friday.
