HELENA MAY INSTITUTE
(Continued from Page 2)
PRESIDENT'S SPEECH
.
Mrs. R. M. Henderson, who pre sided, said I know you will all be very pleased to hear that Lady Northcote has graciously consented to become Patroness of the Helena May Institute. Lady Northcote is extremely sorry she is unable to be present here this morning.
During the year under review there have been many changes Lady Caldecott who, left in the Spring, took a keen interest in the Helena May Institute and I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of you all of thanking her very much indeed and wishing her and Sir Andrew Caldecott great happiness in their new sphere of work...
MEMBERSHIP GROWTH
At last year's Annual General Meeting Mrs. Murdoch the then president, made an appeal for more members and I am glad to say there has been a very good res- ponse. Last year our membership stood at 341 and it is now "504. There is still room for more as in a Colony like this, people are al- ways retiring or being transferred and we need a steady stream of
new members to keep numbers up. During last Winter and Spring there was a great demand for rooms in the Institute and every month many would-be residents were turned away. It was felt that the girls and women who could not be accommodated were those whom the Institute should have been able to take In. In view of the fact that there was a profit on last year's working and it was hoped there would be one again this year, the Council, after great considération decided to build five more bedrooms on the flat roof of the top floor fating the Peak Tramway to correspond with the bedrooms facing Garden Road, also to change the bathrooms on both bedroom floors from the north side of the Institute to the south side. HARD-WORKING COMMITTEE
The House Committee has work- ed very hard, during the year to keep down expenses and hus help- ed greatly to make the proât en this year's working posible. The Library stocked with all the worth while new. publications and тле whole of the ction section has been rearranged alphabetically un- der authors, ́ I don't know if you all know there is a suggestion book In the Library and the Committee are always very glad if anyone suggests a good book which is not in the Library. Lanz Winter the Social Committee arranged some delightful concerts and I am very Sotry they were not better at- tended. Every Friday during the year except for six woers in the Summer the Religious Committee have arranged for different people to speak. at the morning meeting. The speakers have been most in- teresting and varied and I would like to take this opportunity of thanking most sincerely all those who have spared the time to come and speak to us on Friday morn- ings, I would also like to take this opportunity of thanking very much indeed all-members of Coun- cil and members of Committees for all the hard work they have put in and the time they have given so willingly to the welfare of the Helena May Institute.
The Hon. Treasurer then read her report and the reports and ac- counts were unanimously adopted.

About four months ago she went to" Paris, where she met a man who trafficked in drugs. At that time she had no experience of any of these drugs. She happened to mention to this man that she was suffering from bronchitis, and he handed her some white powder. saying: "There is something that will take the pain away."
