AMENITIES FOR WOMEN
SOME NATIONAL PARTY AIMS. OUTLINED BY MR HOLLAND. At a meeting of women in Hamilton on Tuesday, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Holland, said that his desire was to see better amenities provided for country women. He desired cheaper electricity, cheaper labour-saving appliances, more frequent mail services and improved transport and school facilities. He advocated the establishment of trained home helpers to relieve housewives in times of need. The National Party, said Mr Holland, wanted to help women by establishing a fund from which home mortgages would be wiped out in the event of the husband’s death. Loans for furniture would be granted to young couples, and the liability would be wiped out as the assets in the form of children arrived. A drastic overhaul of the licensing laws vzas required, said Mi’ Holland, who described the existing conditions as disgusting and revolting. Mr Holland was accorded a hearty vote of thanks and confidence.
