Of these 32 were for members. An appeal was made for housekeepers and it was decided to advertise in the local paper. At present the position is so acute that two housekeepers have had to be borrowed from headquarters. It was proposed and seconded that a letter of congratulation be sent to Mrs Mclntosh upon her appointment as a Justice of the Peace. Remits to go forward to conference were carefully gone through and some which it was considered were local matters and already covered were withdrawn. The plight of starving refugee children was discussed and the advisability of sending regular supplies of food rather than money was stressed.
