New Guinea Women's

Club Of Sydney

THE New Guinea Women’s Club of Sydney will hold a “Games Nighf’on Friday, May 23, at 8 p.m., in the Feminist Club Rooms, 77 King Street, Sydney. Ail Territorians and their friends are cordially invited to attend.

Since the Christmas recess, the Club has settled down to its year’s activities Numbers are, of course, now greatly re duced with the return of so many former members to New Guinea but those mem bers who remain in Sydney are apparently determined that the Club will not die through lack of enthusiasm or from apathy. Attendances at the Thursday morning meetings have been excellent and have given great encouragement to the executive of the Club. New Guinea resi dents who are visiting Sydney are wel come at these informal gatherings which usually begin about 11 a.m. and are held in the Feminist Club Rooms.

At the Dawn Service in Martin Place, Sydney, on April 25, Mrs. M. Forsyth, who is a returned nursing sister of World War I as well as a member of the planting community of New Guinea, placed a wreath on the Cenotaph on behalf of the Club.

Before Mrs, U. Adams left Rabaul for Sydney recently, she arranged, on behalf of the Club, to have a floral tribute placed on the Stone of Remembrance. This took the form of a cross of flowers which was made by Mrs. N. Normoyle of Rabaul.

A small party visited the Stone and Mr, Paul Mason, who was awarded both the British and the United States Distin guished Service Cross during World War 11, placed the flowers in position. (See page 73 for Rabaul Donations to Club Funds.) We have received from Mr. Joseph Henchel, of 37-35 90th Street, Jackson Heights, Long Island, New York, an ap peal for the address of Major Clifford Cheong, of the AIF, with whom he was associated at Morotai, during the Pacific War. Major Cheong, or anyone knowing his address is invited to communicate with Mr. Henchel, at the New York address given above.
