M iss Norman had been invited to New Zealand prior to the State championships and the trip, from latest advice, is contingent on her having a chaperon, according to the rules of the International Athletic Federation. The New Smith Wales Association queried Miss Norman’s .statement ef not being able* to get a job. The secretary said that it was hardly in accord with fact. .... „ ... “Any negotiations- made by her lor employment were purely individual. “The A.A.A. had nothing to do with it. “A position had been promised .Mi ss Norman, but fell through for various reasons.” lie said. “M'iss Norman lias since been offered five positions. but lias refrained from making any decision in the meantime. “Kaeb is attractive, and suited to her profession as a stenographer. “In any case, A.A.A. officials will take pains to see that Miss Norman is comfortably and happily settled.”
