accommodation for the relatives of Maoris in hospital, and at the March 1942 conference, attended by Mrs Peter Fraser, Patroness of the League, the Government was asked to subsidize a hostel. With a site and financial help given by the Government, and materials, timber and money given by the Maori people, the hostel at last became a reality. Called the ‘Janet Fraser Memorial Guest House’ in memory of the League's Patroness who had died in 1946, it was opened by her husband, the late Mr Peter Fraser, then Prime Minister, on 28 August, 1948. Members of the Women's Health League Inc. still stand firmly united to do everything possible to improve the home-life, health, and welfare of the Maori people, and to promote fellowship and understanding between Maori and Pakeha women. As well as their aims to improve health, and to encourage the planting of gardens, all members learn Maōri arts and crafts, especially weaving, (using Maori dyes), and also Pakeha home-making crafts. Most of the League's 40 trophies, some of which are memorials to early members, are for craft work, and there is always keen competition. Junior Health Leagues have been formed in many areas and they too compete for trophies. Each member pays an annual subscription of 5/-, half of which is forwarded to the Central Committee, the rest being used by each local branch to carry out the aims of the League in its district—buying demonstration materials, and helping members in sickness or misfortune. Some of the League's trophies Conferences are held every six months in March and September, the September conference also including Birthday Celebrations, when a tree is planted on the host marae. It is decided at the end of each conference where the next one will be held, and the chosen branch has six months to prepare for the hui. Last September's celebrations were held at Rotoiti, and the most recent conference at Horo Horo, both being opened by Mr P. T. Watene, M.P. for Eastern Maori. The next conference is to be at Muriwai, Gisborne. The suggestion made last September—that meeting houses be used as holiday accommodation for mothers and children—has already been put into practice. Visitors go from inland town to the coast and vice versa, taking their own bedding and cooking requirements, and having a wonderful holiday. Four hundred pounds has been given to the Waikato University Halls of Residence appeal. This contribution, covering the cost of a study bed unit complete with furnishings and a share of dining, kitchen, lounge and other facilities, is to be recognised by a small plaque over the doorway. Great co-operation exists between the Women's Health League and the Maori Women's Welfare League, members of both organisations helping each other in ‘behind-the-scenes’ work at conferences, and joining forces in many kinds of community work. The achievements of the Women's Health League over the last 29 years are a tribute to the vision, love, and hard work of its founder Nurse Cameron.
