Honorary Life Members
THE
Executive Council has appointed
Mr.
J. A. Aird, Mr.
W.
M. Fraser
and Mr.
J:
Shuttleworth as Honorary Life Members in recognition of their
outstanding services to the Institute over a long period.
All
have been
Regional Group Secretaries for many years, and the Executive Council is
glad to be able to express in this way the debt of gratitude which the Institute
owes to those who give such valuable voluntary service as officers of the
Regional Groups.
Mr. Aird, who
is
a member of the State Rivers and Water Supply Council
of
Victoria, was elected a Vice-president of the Victoria Regional Group in
1935. He became the Group’s Honorary Secretary during the War, and held
this
office until last year. He has also played an important part in encouraging
the University of Melbourne to expand its facilities for the study of public
administration. Mr. Fraser is the Depute City Collector of Edinburgh, and
has been Honorary Secretary
of
the Edinburgh and East
of
Scotland Regional
Group since 1928. His unfailing energy and enthusiasm have done much to
win wide support for the Institute’s work throughout Scotland, and the
success of several national conferences which the Group has arranged is
due largely
to
him. Mr. Shuttleworth, until his retirement a year
or
two ago,
was a Principal in the Northern Ireland Ministry of Health and Local Govern-
ment, and has been one
of
the Joint Honorary Secretaries of the Northern
Ireland Regional Group since 1938. Those who attended the Institute’s
Summer Conference in Belfast in 1950 will recall the flourishing Group that
has been developed there and the esteem in which
it
is held.

some of the administrative problems of the new Federation of Western
Germany and
to

part
will be
accommodated in modern hotels in the centre of the town and will have time
both to explore the old university town of Bonn, birthplace of Beethoven, and

on
the river. Lectures, to be given in English, are being arranged
