Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol 7, No. 4 June 7, 1944

[Introduction]

At Wellington this Easter a National Youth Conference was called, and V.U.C. was represented at the Conference and has a member on the committee set up—"Youth for Victory Committee." The Conference was well attended and fairly representative, considering the travel restrictions. Apart front the delegates from V.U.C., students were in various other delegations, including Catholic and Methodist Youth, Communist and Labour Junior Party representatives, and the Young People's Club.

The Conference was opened by Major Skinner, M.P., M.C., Minister for Rehabilitation. An able speaker, Major Skinner dwelt on the part youth is playing in the present conflict both overseas and at home. He had many interesting anecdotes of the front line, little-known facts about the fighting in Crete and in the desert and the part of New Zealanders in this struggle.
