CONFERENCE PLANS

PAN-PACIFIC WOMEN

The programme for the Pan-Pacific Women's Association conference, which is to be held at Wellington from January 11 to January 26, 1940, is now in circulation, states the association.

Meetings available to holders of £1 season tickets include the introductory and closing forums, a number of addresses by notable delegates, the official opening, lantern slides and films, exhibition of exhibits, and the two inspirational services. Two periods have been set aside for viewing exhibits when the representatives from different countries will attend to explain the exhibits to delegates and ticket holders. Slides depicting Maori craftsmanship are in course of preparation.

New Zealand ticket holders may obtain tickets, which include the enamel badge, in which the name may be inserted, from New Zealand officials, up to September 30, 1939. The New Zealand delegation will be accommodated at Wallis House, Lower Hutt, and is expected to be in residence by January 4, 1940, for final discussions and other

preparatory business,

Certain towns, such as Palmerston North. Napier, Blenheim, Nelson, and Christchurch, are within easy flying distance of Wellington. Other towns, such as Masterton and Wanganui, are within reasonable distance by car. If invitations were received from any such towns for two or three overseas delegates to speak at a public meeting, it could probably be arranged on one of the free afternoons or evenings during the conference. Expenses would need to be met, of course, and hospitality provided.
