are very young. To some extent Motueka, like any other district which employs many seasonal workers, means, to the people who go there, the chance to have a break from their usual routine, and the chance to get away for a while from their own home district. It is a way of having a holiday and earning some money at the same time. Although it is a very pleasant way to have a working holiday, Miss Riwai told us that she was concerned at the number of very young girls who came down there; sometimes they came straight after finishing school, and without ever having been away from home on their own before. Also, there is a surprisingly large number of girls who have had a good education, and are not making the best use of this. After the season is over, many of the Maori workers go on to Christchurch to work, and the Maori Affairs Department tries to assist them in finding suitable work and accommodation there. One of Miss Riwai's many tasks is to help the seasonal workers to organise such spare- Sandy Bay Youth Club (above) won second place in the Te Awhina Competitions. Ngatapu Youth Club, from Dovedale, gained first place. Two elders watching the competitions were (left to right) Mr L. W. Manihera, from Bay of Plenty, and Mr R. Warren Stevens, of Motueka.
