GIRLS COME TO THE CITY PHOTOGRAPHY JOHN ASHTON It is easier for young Maoris to settle in the city if they have a responsible adult person there to guide them, and help them over such difficult problems as accommodation. This story tells about a group of girls from the Wairoa district who were given real help by the factory who employed them, and by a Maori welfare officer. It shows that if only such help was available to everyone, life for the young city Maori could be far more secure. Our cover girl, Aroha Te Aho, arrives at Wellington station from her home sheepfarm at Waihua, Hawkes Bay. At their well-appointed flat, the girls cook their meals in comfort after work.
