How New Guinea's Women

Are Helping
AS a result of a “bridge afternoon” held by the New Guinea Women’s Club in the Feminist Club rooms, King Street, Sydney, on January 9, over £8 was raised for club funds. Five War Savings Certificates, which had been donated, were raffled, and home-made sweets and posies (the posies the work of Mrs.
Ormond and a feature of club functions), were sold.
The attendance, 62, is smaller than is usual at these functions—probably due to school holidays. Territories residents who wish to help are advised to watch the PIM” for further announcements of club activities.
In spite of disbursements to evacuees in need of help, hospital comforts for New Guinea sick and wounded in Yaralla Hospital, and Christmas parcels to all New Guinea men in the fighting services, the club’s Special Fund is in a flourish ing condition. It is hoped, however, to build it up still further, against the day when it is possible to aid those New Guinea residents who fell into Japanese hands when the Territory was invaded in the early months of 1942.
