QUARTERLY MEETING OF MOTHERS’ UNION OBJECTIONABLE THEATRE POSTERS At the quarterly meeting of the Auckland Council of the Mothers’ Union, held at Bishopscourt yesterday afternoon,’ reference was made to the objectionable theatre posters, and an urgent appeal was made by Mrs. G. Coats, acting-president, who presided, to all members to recognise their individual responsibility to others. The president of the Auckland Council of the Mothers’ Union. Mrs. Averill, will be returning from England in December, and it was decided to extend a welcome, in which members of all branches in the Auckland Diocese are asked to participate. Correspondence relating to the union was read by the secretary, Mrs. W. J. Simpkin. It was decided that the annual festival will bo held on November 12, in the Cathedral Church, when the service will be conducted by the VicarGeneral, Archdeacon MacMurraf FAREWELL PARTIES FOR PAPAKURA RESIDENTS DR. AND MRS. McRAE Dr. and Mrs. Mcßae, who are leaving Papakura, have been guests at a number of parties of honour during the last two weeks. Mrs. Goddard, Mrs. Agmen Smith and Mrs. W. A. Pavitt were the hostesses at three bridge afternoons, and Mrs. G. O’Connell gave a musical afternoon. The final party was a bridge evening given by Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Rico at their home in Elliott Street at the end of last week. TINNED FOODS ADDRESS TO CIVIC LEAGUE The prevalent idea that food kept in an open tin can acquire injurious properties was exploded last evening by Dr. E. B. Gunson. in addressing members of the Civic League. This idea, said the doctor, is a fable, like the souring of milk by a thunderstorm. It was necessary, on the other hand, to be as careful in the matter of cleanliness and refrigeration as with fresh or cooked food, as the contents of a tin might easily become contaminated or infected after opening. The process of canning did not interfere seriously with most vitamins, and the widespread belief that tinned foods had lost their dietary essentials was, generally speaking, without foundation. Tho common method of preserving canned goods was in tin, and poisoning from tin did not occur.
