WELFARE OF CHILDREN
TWO WOMEN JUSTICES AUCKLAND APPOINTMENTS The announcement is made of the appointment of Mrs. N. E. Ferner and Miss S. E. Jackson, of Auckland, as special justices of the peace under the Child Welfare Act.

With the appointment as special justices Mrs, Ferner and Miss Jackson will be empowered to preside over the Court when necessary. At’ present Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., and Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., are the only two with authority to preside over such courts. Mrs. Ferner has long been associated with welfare work, and has done much to further the interests of children and others in Auckland. Miss Jackson, who recently retired from the position of matron at the Mount Albert ludustrial Home after many years’ experience, has a wide knowledge of welfare work.
