Resignation

Miss Newman, Matron of the St. Helens Hospital. Wellington, has resigned that position, and will retire from active work. She intends to make her home with her sister, Mrs. Moore, m Christchurch.

Miss Newman was trained at Christchurch Hospital and Christchurch St. Helens, and became Sub-Matron of Christchurch St. Helens m 1910. During the war she relieved Miss Cameron, the Matron, who went on active service, and on the hitter's return, invalided, succeeded her as Matron m 1917. In 1923

she was transferred to Wellington St. Helens as Matron, thus having been m the Public Health Service for over eighteen years.

Miss Newmans retirement, which, under the Public Service regulations need not have taken place for five years, is very much regretted by her Department and the staff and pupils of St. Helens, but she has given most devoted service all these years, and fully deserves to enjoy the leisure she has earned.

She is not due to leave St. Helens until September.
