Health League Conference The Women's Health League Conference at Muriwai in early September was attended by 150 delegates from the 15 branches in the Tairawhiti Rotorua, Mataatua and Te Teko districts, and presided over by its founder, Nurse R. T. Cameron. Among the topics discussed were the abolition of Maori seats in Parliament, extended drinking hours, the ‘milk in schools’ scheme, holiday accommodation at meeting houses, children appearing in court, and education. All branches of the league now operate play centres, and the value of this movement was emphasized. After a memorial service, trees were planted to commemorate the passing of Mr Steve Watene and Mr Peta Brown. A third tree marked the league's 30th birthday. Members of the Maori Women's Welfare League had the task of judging entries in the 50 sections of the competition. Ten of the league's 40 trophies are for action song, haka and poi competition, one is for the best of the secretaries, reports, and the rest are for handcraft.
