W.C.T.U. CONFERENCE

DELEGATES AT WHANGAREI Delegates attending the Auckland Provincial Conference of the W.G.r.U. were enthusiastically welcomed to Whangarei on Monday evening by a large gathering which filled the Methodist Church. Upon their arrival by the afternoon train the delegates were entertained by the local branch, afternoon tea being provided by members of the Congregational. Church. A civic welcome was accorded the delegates yesterday by the Mayor, Mr. L. J. Brake, who emphasised the national influences of the work that the W.C.T.U. and sister organisations were doing to uplift humanity, and referred particularly to the number of public posts that of late years had s been made available to women. The union was not only a temperance movement, but was proving invaluable in advising the of the needs of women, and supporting their representatives in public positions who were doing work that men could not undertake so well. By the efforts of the union public men were beginning to realise, accept and welcome the advent of women to those public offices for which they were peculiarly fitted. Mrs. Goodal, president of the Whangarei branch, the Rev. H. Knowles Kempton, Ministers’ Association, Mrs. A. A. Jack, Women’s Club, Mrs. J. E. Holmes, Civic League, and Mr. O. P. Owen, of the Y.M.C.A., also extended a welcome. Replies were made by Mrs. Benfell, Auckland Provincial President, and Mrs. T. E. Taylor, of Christchurch, national president, the latter making a striking appeal for assistance in forwarding the temperance cause. A resolution was passed on the motion of the Mayor thanking the local branch for its arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors.
