Melbourne Assn. Asks for Donations to Help Worthiest of Causes
LIKE the New Guinea Women’s Club of Sydney, the Melbourne New Guinea Women’s Association has found some difficulty in distributing funds collected for their POW fund which, after minor distributions, stood at £B2O.

children of returned European New Guinea Service men or women: and, tnirdly, to all children whose parents live m New Guinea. The scholarship will be competitive in all sections and applicants must not be over the age of 14 years and 6 months on January 1 of the year in which the scholarship is to be awarded.
It is hoped that sufficient funds will be available to make the first award in 1947.
As the money for the POW fund is not sufficient for this purpose, it has been decided to raise further funds. A Ball will be held in Melbourne in October and the Association is appealing also for donations from Territorians. A list of these will be published each month in the “PIM.” Donations should be sent to Hon. Secretary of the Association, 7 Wilson Street, Moonee Ponds, W. 4, Vic.
