Yesterday in Carterton the morning commenced with a keen wind blowing which became milder during the day. In the evening a’ strong north-wester-ly wind increased to practically gale force, which aroused memories of the big gale experienced in 1934, but, of course, did not reach the force of that devastating storm. The wind was accompanied by rain which came down heavily for some time. About midnight the wind increased in force, but during the early morning died down, and was followed by heavy rain which continued . until about daylight. This morning the wind changed to the south, with occasional rainfall. PLUNKET SOCIETY At the monthly meeting of the local branch of the Plunket Society there were present Mesdames W. J. C. Wells, C. C. Callender, N. R. Armstrong, J. Steel, H. B. Keenan, A. Phillpotts, V. Robinson and the secretary (Mrs H. M. B. Trapp). An apology for absence was received from Mrs J. B. Lawrence. The Nurse’s report for July was as follows: —New cases, 3; breastfed, 2; expectant mother, 1. Visits to homes: new cases, 4; old cases, 64. Visits to rooms: adults, 86; babies, 72; older children, 12. Test scales lent once Telephone calls, 12. Car mileage, 444 miles. A circular letter'was received from the President of the Dominion Council notifying that instructions had been sent out to all nurses concerning certain modifications of the Society’s artificial feeding. These modifications had been recommended by the Medical Advisory Board in conjunction with other medical men particularly interested in infant feeding, following the recent public criticism of the artificial feeding system advocated by the Society. Dr Williams, acting-Medical Adviser to the Council, had approved of these modifications being immediately adopted, and they do not in any way depart from the fundamental principles laid down by the late Sir Truby King.
