ont ‘PHE last meeting of the Wellington branch for 1938, held on December 12, was well attended, and although there seemed to be more business to get through than usual, a most enjoyable evening Was spent. First came the important question of picking a responsible and yeliable nominee for the vacancy gn the advisory board. The one member of this branch fully capable of filling the position accepted: the nomination. , The kindly invitation of the Auckland branch regarding an an inter-branch competition, was next discussed, and although our boys think it is like "taking candy from a baby," they are keen to have 2 go at them. I will write to you personally, Auckland, regarding full details of the discussion. Thanks also were extended from our members for your Christmas greetings. Two new cups are to come into operation for the branch-one for the runner-up of the Best ‘Verifica-
