Brisbane Ng Association
From Our Own Correspondent THE annual meeting of the Brisbane- New Guinea Association was held at the Lyceum Club, Queen Street, on March 13. About 14 ex-New Guinea residents, representing varied callings in the Islands, were present. Considering the number of Territorians who have re turned, the attendance was satisfactory.
Mrs. S. J, (“Jock”) Campbell, formerly of Rabaul, was elected president for the ensuing 12 months; Mrs. A. Jamieson was re-elected secretary, and Mrs. Stan Mc- Cosker, treasurer.
In declining re-election, the immediate past-president, Mrs. Gladys Forsyth said that she considered two years should be the limit for any person to hold office as president. Her decision not to seek re-election was accepted with genuine regret.
Despite its dwindling membership, the Brisbane-New Guinea Association is de termined to carry on. No more co operative and loyal body of women exists in Brisbane; and, if only to recall happy pre-war times in the Islands, its con tinuation is justified.
The bright companionship found at the Club is a solace to the women who lost their husbands on the “Montevideo Maru” in June, 1942.
