Club Notes

FIRST AID. As in previous years First Aid classes met on Friday after- noons, and we should like to thank Mr. Hosier for his inte re st- ing lectures, and his continued encouragement. The ·class was smaller than last year, but we hope it was no less keen. Bandaging was popular and whatever slight skill we may have lacked was compensated for by our en- thusiasm. As we were when we began bandaging we dread lo think of the fa te of any patient who had submitted to our ministrations, but we venture to believe that we have become· moderately proficient since then. An examination to test our knowledge was held recently, and it seems that the sufferings of the various patients have· not been in vain. We should like to thank Miss Lill ey for making the holding of the club possible, and Miss Maclean for helping us so much with our work. -Y.M.C. WANDERERS' CLUB NOTES. Have you ever been conducted round Parliament House? No7 Well, if you had been a Wanderer you would be able to say "yes" to that question . One of the honourable members showed us the principal features. In the Legislature Assembly room we d ivided into the Government and Opposition, one girl acting as Speaker of the House. Another giri was very p leas- ed when asked to read aloud the prayer with which the House is opened every morning. Some of our members had the great honour of signing the visitors's book. Our destination one Friday afternoon was the Museum where we were all very interested in the art display and the variou s other things which we saw. Twice the Shell Company very kindly sent up some films, one of which told of what was being done to combat the 'malaria-carrying mosquito. The Debating Club invited us to a deoate on "The Written Word against the Spoken Word" which we enjoyed very much . England was the subject chosen by two of our lecturers, Miss Campbell and Miss Barton, while Mrs . Herbert trans- ported us to Manila. 33
