The New Guinea Women's

Association of Melbourne

AS a result of a successful function, held in a Toorak home recently, the New Guinea Women’s Association of Melbourne realised over £l7O. Among the 160 Territorians who attended was New Guinea’s former Judge (now Wing- Commander) “Monty” Phillips and his wife (they were married while Wing- Commander Phillips was in London last year), Mr. and Mrs. Chinnery and their daughters, Captain Noel Barrie, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Royal, and Mr. and Mrs.

Ferguson Shannon.

TThe greater proportion of the amount raised has been earmarked for prisoner of war funds.
