Of Interest to Women

St. Andrew’s P.W.M.U. Meeting at Wanaka The monthly meeting of St. Andrew’s P.W.M.U. was held at the manse on the evening of Wednesday, March 10, when Mrs Miller presided over a good attendance. The meeting opened with devotion. Apologies for absence were received from Mesdames T. Anderson, D. Campbell, W. Hogan, Templeton, C. Morris, M. Winders, E. Morris, B. Umbers and Miss Jopp. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, and the members stood in silence as a mark of respect to Mrs Hogan in the loss of her brother. The members decided to write a letter to Mrs E. Morris to congratulate her on the birth of a son. The special collection on the Women’s Bay of Prayer amounted to £3 10s, and is to be forwarded to the Presbyterian Indian Mission. The meeting of St. Andrew’s Guild followed the P.WV.M.Ih, when Mrs Miller presided. It was decided that the Chui’ch would continue sending parcels of food to England, and the members agreed to contribute something towards the parcels. Hostesses for the evening were Mesdames Manson, McEwan and Miss Templeton. Tourist Resorts Booked Out For Easter People who have not made bookings for Easter will find it difficult to get accommodation at popular tourist resorts. Queenstown, Te Anau, Manapouri and Stewart Island are fully booked out. Many of the hotels have had bookings for this period for 12 months. The Queenstown Regatta Club have found it most difficult to find accommodation for 130 odd competitors in the Easter Regatta. Many will have to sleep in tents, as accommodation could be found for only 80. It was time for the factory worker’s son to go to bed. “ Tell me a story, Daddy,” said the boy. “ Well, my son,” began the factory worker, “ once upon a time and ‘a half. . •”

Queenstown P.W.M.U. First Meeting This Year Miss L. Gibson, of the Presbyterian Church' of England was the speaker at the first meeting for the year of the Presbyterian Women’s Mission Union, Queenstown, hold last week. Miss Gibson spoke of food rationing in Britain and detailed the meagre rations they were receiving. She said that food parcels received from this country were gratefully received and in view of the amount of food that New Zealand was sending to Britain, she saw little necessity for introducing the subject other than from the point of view of interest. New Zealand’s effort, she said, was outstanding. Flying bombs had destroyed many churches and had killed many of the church organisers. Mrs H. Davies thanked Miss Gibson for lier address which was accorded with acclamation.
