SOCIAL CONDITIONS
Soroptimist Club’s Proposals
Social conditions in Wellington and venereal diseases were the subject or a resolution passed at . a recent meeting of the executive of the Soroptimist Club of Wellington. The club urges in the resolution the adoption of a plan of publicity designed to enlighten every section of the community on venereal diseases and social problems arising from war conditions, aud it heartily approves of the lectures- being given by a doctor of the Health Department to women and girls in factories. The club presses the importance of boardinghouses and rooming-houses being registered and of each keeping a register of its occupants and proposes that they be liable to inspection. It presses the importance also of establishing centres where men of the forces may go with women relations and friends for talk, rest and recreation so that they wou.d not walk the streets and tend to get into undesirable company. The club strongly opposes the licensing of brothels, which it says would be dangerous and retrograde.
