Mrs. K Hadfield. After various business matters had been dealt with, Mrs. Hadfield intimated to those present that, owing to health reasons, Bho was not able to continue in office, much to her regret. An election for the office of president was then carried out, and resulted in. the eleotion of Mrs. 0. Earle. The newly-elected president, in moving a vote of thanks and appreciation to the retiring president, spoke of her past services to the league, ajid saij that all regretted her retirement, but were glad she had decided to Temain on the committee.

She also dwelt at length on the fact that woman was many-sided, and was capable of occupying any, position.

The new president then addressed the meeting, and protested • against the unhelpful attitude of. members of the Opposition towards th'e Government in the present world crisis. Whilst asserting that they were sinking party politics, on no occasion that she could recall had. they given a word of commendation to the Government.

Further, that if the leaders of the Opposition do not endorse such conduct they owe it to the public to take the earliest possible opportunity of saying so."' In moving the resolution, Mrs. Darling said that ; such a calamity ;as 'that occurring at.' Huntly called forth the; deepest _ sympathy and sorrow of all' right-thinking people, and it was to be regretted that anyone should attempt to make political capital but of it. Misa Steele seconded the resolution, which was spoken to freely by members, and carried unanimously.
