THE WOMAN'S PART
VARIED WAR WORK.
POWERFUL INFLUENCE.
The women of New Zealand are playing a noble part in the nation's fight for freedom.
The various women's units of the fighting forces constitute the front rank of feminine effort, but behind them are a host of women of all ages who devote much time and effort to knitting, sewing, packing of parcels, Red Cross work, and numberless other activities connected with the war. The women who are thus showing their keen sense of responsibility and duty are truly representative of New Zealand womanhood. But unfortunately there is a small minority whose behaviour is unsocial, and also unhelpful to the national cause. In particular women who abuse the privileges associated with the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in hotels, by overstaying their time in public lounges, and by drinking unwisely, are betraying the good name of their sex. Women everywhere are making their influence felt in the maintenance of decent conditions of public refreshment, in keeping with the spirit of liberty in whose name the Empire is fighting. An announcement inserted in the Nation's interests by the National .Council of the Licensed Trade of New Zealand.—P.B A
