WOMEN'S RADIO CLUB
O form a women’s radio club which through the medium of the air will bring the women of country and town closer together and thus enable them to assist on a larger scale with vital war activities, is the main object of the 2ZB Happiness Club, which has just been re-organised with Mrs. C. G. Scrimgeour as Director and Mrs. J. W. Innes as General Secretary. The Happiness Club is working in close collaboration with the National Committee for the Utilisation of Waste Material, and besides this, the various branches of the club are doing work for soldiers’ parcels and local charities. As the membership increases, so will the assistance given to the many appeals, and the use of radio in this work has made it possible to reach a much wider public, Listeners may not be able to attend meetings of the Happiness Club, but they are urged to send in their ideas on anything that will be of interest to women; for talks along lines suggested by listeners will be a feature of the Happiness Club’s Saturday morning broadcasts. On Wednesday, April 22, the combined Auckland and Wellington Happiness Clubs held their first big afternoon gathering in the Waldorf Restaurant,
Wellington. Between three and four hundred members attended, and the function was a great success. Though work is the primary object of the club, the directors realise’ that social activity is also important, and this was the first of many social gatherings which will be held throughout the year.
