Miss Pat Mason, the national president of the Young Christian Workers' (Girls) Movement, arrived in Perth over a week ago and after a few days in Bunbury has been visiting groups in the metropolitan area. This is Miss Mason's first visit to Perth. During the past three years as national president she has spent some time in all States in an effort to obtain a better understanding of the current problems facing girls in different parts of Australia and an appreciation of what. action the Y.C.W. should be taking as a movement of the Church in the lives of young women.
