The Twilight Homes Committee led by Mr W Crawford elected officers including L Rogers and Mo McGregor with B Moore as secretary treasurer and WD Fanning auditor. The group, formed about 18 months ago, seeks better housing for aged citizens via cottage homes. It includes Progress and Welfare Council and ALP among supporters. After full investigation the committee opposed institutional care and urged government adoption of cottage homes, with ministers and senators engaged in consultations and plans for suburban centers. The annual report notes a March 23 meeting at the Services Club with over 200 elderly residents present.
