50 YEARS’ VOYAGING
EX-IMMIGRATION MATRON. ' MISS DALE’S UNUSUAL RECORD. Not many people, it is safe to say, can claim a record equal to that of Miss A. Dale, formerly immigration matron to the New Zealand Government, whose 57th trip to New Zealand ended on Tuesday when the Tainui arrived in Wellington from Southampton. By a coincidence it was exactly 50 years on Tuesday since she first arrived iu the Dominion by the sailing ship Sukar. Miss Dale told an interviewer that she had been doing New Zealand Government work for about 21 years, during which she had been matron in charge of probably 2000 domestic servants who had come out to New Zealand. She was looking forward, she said, to meeting some of the girls on the present trip, which she had. undertaken mainly for health reasons. Miss Dale retired from the position Si senior Government matron five y&ars ago, and lives now at Southsea, England#
