The Invercargill E.P.S. has many excellent women members who are enthusiastic and efficient workers. However, there is a need for more women for the identification squad attached to the Law and Order Unit.

Intending members should enrol at the secretary’s office, Kelvin street, or the Police Station, Esk street. ENGAGEMENT The engagement is announced of Dorothy Isobel, daughter of Mr and Mrs H. S. Miller, “Glencairn," Thames Highway, Omarau, to Oliver Gibson, youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs A. S. Scott, Melbourne street, Invercargill. 4746
