INT	WERE YOU BORN AT HOME OR IN A HOSPITAL? 
13
JB	There'd be miles of them.  Actually my father was a city  councillor.  He 
was also a member of the HOSPITAL Board.  Dad could tell you miles of stories  
about counselling and that sort of thing.  414
JB	Yes, we always had hens.   We didn't have a cow though.  My  mother and 
father had hens right up until twenty years ago.  No, fifteen years ago.  My  
grandmother always had hens and a lot of fruit trees.  I'll tell you something 
else about  Caversham.  I don't know whether you'll be interested or not.  Next 
to the Caversham  School was Tallboys which is now Parkside.  It was in the 
1930s.  They had one egg a year  which they got on Christmas Day.  The HOSPITAL 
Board ran it. 
442
JB	Yes, that's what it was.  Also the HOSPITAL Board laundry was  there.  
That place was an insult to the dignity of old people.  It was a terrible place.  
Actually in the end I opted out and wouldn't go.  I couldn't stand it.  Then 
there was the  scandal of the Caversham School.  When I first started school it 
was in College  Street.  That was the old Caversham School.  Then they built 
this lovely new school down on  the corner of Surrey Street where it is now.  It 
was a very big imposing building.  It was beautiful. Of course after this old 
place in College Street we thought it was  wonderful.  How long ago did they 
pull it down?  It was after the centenary because I've  got a photograph in here 
taken outside the old school.   When was that centenary?  It was  after 1961.  
They found that there'd been some great fiddle over the Caversham School  and it 
was starting to crack.  There was quite a scandal about it.  They had to pull it  
down and put those wooden boxes in that they've got now.  But it was a really 
imposing  beautiful school. Quite scandalous.  I'll see if I can find that 
photograph.  It was  taken in front of it. I don't know if you can see much of 
the school.  But it doesn't look  anything like those boxes that are there now.

MW: When Grandma was in the HOSPITAL once and the nurses used to say,  'couldn't 
make out what she was', because the Salvation Army man used to go and visit  
her. Mr Dodds, the Presbyterian Minister used to visit her, and the Catholic 
priest used  to go and visit her, like, because he knew us and knew of her. And 
they couldn't make  out what she was, because she had all these religions 
visiting her.

MB: When mum went into the HOSPITAL for an operation, Mr Sing Wah  said, you 
know, "you take these in. Two big bunches of grapes". You know, none of the  
other shops who knew us did anything.

LC	My brother became a tailor's cutter but he didn't like that.  So all of a 
sudden we woke up one morning to find he wasn't in the bed.  There was a note  
on the dressing table to say 'gone to sea.'  That's what he did.  We didn''t see 
him  for a long time. He sailed all around the world.  He finished up with a 
poison leg in  Melbourne.  After getting out of HOSPITAL there he settled down 
in Melbourne and has  been there ever since.  He died there about a year ago.

that  bloody size,  [JM: yeah, yeah]  still in my leg.  They healed it up and I, 
there was a  big push in France, I was over in England at the time, there was a 
big push and they  emptied the HOSPITALs out as much as they could and they sent 
me to Hornchurch Convalescent  camp.  It started to fester up again, so put me 
back in hospital, part of my uniform in  there, had to open it up and take that

	FD:  My second eldest brother was, he volunteered, went to  the war and 
got shell shocked in the Battle of the Song, in September 1916 and was invalid  
at home to England and was in the Oaklands Military HOSPITAL until after the end 
of the  war and it was quite an interesting thing.  He arrived home to see his 
first  daughter, my niece Alene, she was three and a half before she ever saw 
her father, so it was,  [LD: quite [058 inaudible] quite a fantastic thing [LD: 
yeah].  She was called Alene,  which was the French for Ellen, because her 
father was fighting in France at that  time.                   204 	FD:  The 
whole, people right throughout the community.  Young  and old.  I had a bit of 
an attack of it.  I felt pretty ill but of course I wasn't bad enough  to, I 
don't even think that the doctor, but um, where it hit our family was that my  
sister, I mentioned before with nursing, she was ah, nursing at the public 
HOSPITAL here.  She would be, what, in her second or third year of her training 
and she and her  mate, ah, were, when it struck the epidemic, they nursed till 
they literally fell on their  feet.  The, my sister she got the flu to the 
extent so severe that they didn't dare  tell her that her mate had died of it, 
they reckon it would have killed her and um, ah,  the, my sister was in a 
special ward in Nightingale ward, which has just recently been  demolished, in 
the special there and she was delirious for weeks.  She was literally  blue with 
tubes in her back, draining off the fluid and ah, they cut her hair off to save 
it  being, having to try and do it, she was so ill.  She told us that it had got 
to the  stage that she was so ill and then one day she said, if I don't try and 
do something about  it, I'm going to die and from then she [123 inaudible] so 
she stuck it out, gradually  got better.  She'd been that ill, they gave her six 
months leave of absence afterwards  to get over it. Her mate, she was buried 
over in the Andersons Bay, she's buried over  there.  And my sister told me, not 
many years before she died, she died about seven years  ago, that so dreaded was 
the epidemic that the authorities said that on no account were  the graves of 
epidemic victims to be opened for at least 50 years.  [LD: help] 
That's how [LD:serious
it was] how the impact was seen as a serious result.

       I had one serious trouble with it, ah you don't know this, my brother had 
paralysis when he was three or four and I had to get on a push bike  out at 
Amberley to come to town and get medicine for him and on the road home, just 
down  here, just where the gardens there, a bloke run into me on a push bike and 
I was on a  push bike and it was just below the HOSPITAL hill and they picked me 
up and the bloke  got a taxi and he took me right over to Enfield, and I was 
just right beside the  hospital, (35)                37
       BD:  I was going to tell you in a moment, and they got a taxi  driver and 
come and pick me, and the man said, 'Take him home to Enfield', he says.  And  
he says, 'I think he should go to the HOSPITAL'.  Oh, he says, 'I'm employing 
you', he  said, 'take him home to Enfield'.  Now I was stunned, I was 
unconscious and got me  home to Enfield, then he had to ring up and talk to, the 
doctor never arrived till next  morning and he says I have to go to hospital 
straight away and I had concussion of the  brain and a fractured skull there.  I 
lost my hearing in both ears, this one is still bad.  [Hearing aid beeps]  Oh, 
it's objecting.  And then I was stuck into hospital and I  was there for about a 
month or six weeks, I had concussion of the brain and a  fractured skull, one 
ear came back and the other one didn't. 
45
       BD:  One in the morning as a rule, but I was doing, telling you about the 
HOSPITAL.  My brother was only three or four, a couple of instances,  we were 
both taken to the hospital in the ambulance. 
77
       BD:  Yes, he spent most of his life working in a HOSPITAL,  after he grew 
up. When I was talking to him the other day, he was 30 years in Dunedin  
Hospital I think, (80) 30 years, of working. (MC: YEAH, YEAH.) Just orderly and 
that sort of  thing.                    89        BD:  Oh, I always had 
inclination that way when I was a young  'un,  (MC: RIGHT, SO IT HAD STARTED...) 
we weren't able to do much.  But, we had some  kiddies there for twelve months, 
might have had a breakdown or something, or have come  from HOSPITAL and go in a 
mental place or something, you know, what over some people  having trouble with 
babies when they were ill but there was always trouble and that we,  well you 
have a baby in the house for twelve months and then it gets taken away, some  
people might want to adopt it or something like that. 
455
       MC:  OR FOR ANYONE TO HAVE A BIT OF A BREAKDOWN AND HAVE TO GO  IN 
HOSPITAL.           481
       BD:  I think circumstances forced a lot of it.  (MC: RIGHT.)  You know, 
and even some of them when we only had for two or three weeks to give their  
mother a spell.  They had been ill and had been in HOSPITAL or something like 
that.

       So he came home one night all smiles, he was only twelve, he  said, 'I've 
got a job'. He'd met another young fellow down at Port Chalmers, they  walked 
down there, and he said, they need another fellow on the boat, he said, 'Would 
you be  allowed to come?' Was our Omarama, the first HOSPITAL ship that had come 
into port, and  he said, 'Oh, I'll have to ask my father', and in he come and he 
said, 'I've got a job',  he said, 'What is it?', and he said, 'Oh, one of the 
cabin boys at the Omarama'. And  they had to let him go 'cause he declared he 
was going anyway. 
323
       He said, 'How old are you?', he said, 'I was twelve when I went  to, went 
to the war', he said they wouldn't believe him, and they said, 'What were  you 
doing?', and he said, 'I was the, I was a cabin boy on the, on the HOSPITAL ship  
Omarama', and he said it was the first ship that went though the Panama Canal, 
Canal, at  the hospital ship that was. 
333
       MD:      Anyway, he'd done his service, and he wasn't going to  be called 
on to do any further service seeing he'd done it already on the HOSPITAL ship,  
so he no sooner got told that he was free of it, what he did he go down to the  
recruiting office and put his name down to be sent to war. 
341
       MD:      Well, people had to be neighbourly, if you can un -  only take 
it on a wide term, because everyone didn't have a telephone, and if there was  
any sickness of the house they had to either ask the chemist or their shop-
keeper or,  or somebody they knew might speak for them, or else go where there 
was a phone. You  couldn't just - I know [indistinct] they had to, they sent 
away to their own doctor was  overseas and they had to go to the chemist in, in 
Caversham, in the main street it was,  and ask him whether they could ring up 
the HOSPITAL and send someone out because  they thought we might need an 
ambulance. I'll never forget that ambulance. You'd have  two horses, high 
steppers, big fellows, and they raced those into town ... oh, right  into the 
city where the hospital was from Caversham, that was no small ride. And sure  
enough, I did have [indistinct] and so I had to be operated on, and going in 
there I  said, 'I think you must like me after all, mum because I saw you 
crying'. She ... ,  'sorry little so and so', she said, 'I was crying for myself 
because the roof, the roof  was off the house, the, the - it was raining, you 
didn't have a clean nightie left and  the baby was bawling her head off'. There 
wasn't crying for me at all. And for years I  thought mum was crying because I 
was ill. Oh, well, it wasn't as bad as that, but it must  have driven everybody 
dilly with all that wrong. There was a canvas pulled over half the  house 
because they were renovating it. And of course ...  1067        MD:      They 
were building - wanting to, to further the  district anyway, but the government 
was making generous loans to young ones wanting to start  up, so we thought we'd 
have a go. And we were there two years when the Depression came,  and the job 
went, and, and Bert was in the HOSPITAL, oh me, what was the matter with  you 
that time? I know you had your birthday there because Jill took you up an - we 
brought,  brought a cheap rug thinking it would be nice for a birthday present 
and I let Jill  sit on the bed while she gave it to you. Anyway from there we 
heard his brother was down here,  he reckoned there was a place down here he 
could come, so second time I dashed up  -                    1828        BD:

307       DD:  I used to express the milk and I used to fill a lemonade  bottle 
every day.  My husband used to ride a bike to work then down to the HOSPITAL 
Board.  He would ride down the main street and when he saw a number five 
Anderson's Bay tram car  coming he would get to the next stop with his bottle of 
milk wrapped it.  He would  give it to the driver and the driver used to take 
them to the taxi depot at Andy Bay  terminus and then when they went up anywhere 
near there they would take the milk up.  450       DD:  I don't know what they 
thought was wrong.  I know when she  got to about six they put it down to home 
influence.  They put her in HOSPITAL.  She  was in hospital when she was two and 
she was in hospital when she was four and she was in  hospital when she
was six. 
462
Oh, but the start of that was I got a ring at home or at least at my  
neighbour's place one day from the HOSPITAL. It was to say that the doctor 
didn't want  me to go in and see her or us in the meantime.  The grandparents 
could go but we weren't  to go.  And so I rang up the doctor Begg who was a 
children's doctor and we had  Lorraine under him too. I said, 'well I'm going in 
to see her today and I'll tell her that  we're not coming back but I'm not going 
to leave a little girl of six and not explain to 
her.'                    468

      MG:  I was at high school when the second world war broke out.  I was 
going to boarding school and we were all going back for the third term when  Mum 
and Dad came and said there was a war broken out.  It didn't really mean very 
much but  they seemed to be pretty serious about it.  I was at Timaru Girls High 
school.  My  sister and I both went there.  That's Noreen the second one.  My 
other sister had left  Dunedin.  She was a bit older so she went off nursing in 
Christchurch HOSPITAL and that was  the end of Rae if you know what I mean. Now 
what was the question you asked? 
135
       Oh I didn't tell you what she did.  She was brought up in Mornington.  My 
grandmother lived there all her life until she was old and then got a  small 
place. My mother I think must have been - she was a fairly strong person.  She  
said she was going nursing.  Well that wasn't a thing for people to do.  She 
trained at  the Dunedin Public HOSPITAL as a nurse.  166
      MG:  Well it wouldn't have been successful.  In fact it lasted a  very 
short time so I decided to leave Dunedin.  I changed everything.  I stopped  
teaching and I went to train as a nurse at Greenlane HOSPITAL and I did my 
nursing training  in Auckland.  I thought I would get out of it. 
199
       But I remember the milk coming.  It was delivered and it wasn't  hygienic 
either because it was clomped out of a big can into your milk jug.  Nobody  had 
fridges.  We didn't have a fridge in the early days.  I never liked milk because  
in the summer time mother scalded all the milk.  She was very fussy.  That 
helped it  keep.  During my time in Dunedin tuberculosis was quite rife.  There 
were infectious wards  at the HOSPITAL. Also there was a lot of goitre because 
the salt wasn't iodised.  My  father was aware of all these things.  So mother 
was very careful with the milk.

INT	WERE YOU BORN AT HOME OR IN HOSPITAL? 
14
VH	Yes I had to leave school. I had eighteen months at secondary  school and 
then I had to leave because my father went into HOSPITAL with peritonitis.  In  
those days they didn't know much about peritonitis.  I think he was the first 
person  Dr Batchelor did the operation and I think it was and that was 1925 so I 
would have  ben fourteen. I was born in 1911.  It was 1925 or 26; the exhibition 
was on.  40 VH	Yes. I had to leave school then and go into the shop to work  
in the shop while Dad was in HOSPITAL and then he was helpless for a long time 
so I used to  go down there at mine o'clock in the morning and work until nine 
or ten o'clock at  night.  My mother used to come down. I used to cook my dinner 
there on a little gas ring at  the back of the shop  - we had a little fireplace 
and my mother used to come down  there and help me close up and take me home. 
44
MH	Well in my childhood days I had to go to Sunday School every  Sunday.  My 
mother was very active in the Methodist Church.  She used to run stalls and  
bazaars they had in those days. I can still remember her getting dressed up in a 
Japanese  kimono with her hair done up with blossom, artificial blossom in her 
hair because she  was behind one of the stalls and I used to go to bazaars. In 
Sunday school we used to  sit in a little a form there and a form there you know 
cubicles but then when my  brother was born my parents just somehow didn't go to 
church any more and my mother made  the excuse they couldn't leave the baby. I 
don't know whether that ... or not but  then in later years they went to the 
Presbyterian Church in Caversham.  My Dad was  singing in the choir then. He was 
a beautiful singer. a very musical man. Also in later  years of his life he used 
to walk down to the HOSPITAL ... Dunedin Public Hospital every  fourth Sunday to 
sing in the hospital choir.  I can still remember him on Sunday  afternoon 
pressing his navy blue trousers and cleaning his black shoes and he and Mr 
Butler  who lived on the ... used to walk down .. there were five of them .. the 
choir used to  sing ... he was life member of the [Royal?] ... choir, and then 
he was into the  Presbyterian Church when I was grown up in the choir of the 
Presbyterian Church.  But when I  was 16 or 17 my aunt, well we called her an 
aunt, she wasn't really an aunt. She was  a cousin of my fathers twice removed 
or something but she took me to an Anglican  service at St Peter's Anglican 
Church and I felt that than I got at the Methodist church so  I went over to 
there and, but then you see he connected with the Briggs family.  Now  Briggs 
brewery, you could get in touch with them, they had a brewery and my mother,  my 
father's mother, was a Cochran, her name was Cochran, and they started the 
brewery in  Caversham.  I don't know how many years ago, but then all the Briggs 
family were my  father's sort of second cousins.  So that I can still remember 
the brewery right at the  terminus, Caversham. The tram used to stop, I don't 
know that name of it, I think it was a  big steep street that goes up to the 
right of the terminus.  And the brewery was just  along there above the railway 
line before you come to the Caversham tunnel and I was  terrified to go past 
there because there was a funny old man who used to sit there  smoking. I think 
he used to stoke the fire or something, and I used to be terrified of this  
funny man.  Perhaps he gave me fright or something as a little girl. I didn't 
want to go  past Briggs brewery because this funny old man was sitting there and 
... as I say related  to my father. Uncle Alfred I remember. He had one of the 
first motorcars on the  roads in Dunedin called [Kelthorp?]. I still remember 
him taking my mother for a ride  in that car.            69

CI:Yes, well I joined the New Zealand Government training ship  "Amokura" in 
1915 with the intention of going into the Navy. They trained New Zealand boys  
to go either into the Merchant Navy or the Royal Navy. There was quite a lot 
went into  the Navy but most of them went into the Merchant Navy. And 
unfortunately I had an  accident - breaking and spiking me in the stomach and I 
finished up with peritonitis and  HOSPITAL for ten months. When I came out I 
went back to sea but I served what time I  did at sea in sailing ships and I 
never worked on a steamship. And when I was 17 I  joined the Fire Brigade, 
joined the staff of the Fire Brigade, and I worked there  until I was 59. I 
retired a year early. I had had 41 years service. I was very keen to  have a 
trip overseas so I left a year earlier and I've been retired 21 years come  
August.               111

John's Ambulance at, at Hillside, and one night there was a lady came and  spoke 
and she said that with the nurses going overseas they were short, and they would  
like nurse-aides. And I had been talking with some friends on holiday. Oh, this 
was  alright, we were told that they were building a new Middlemore HOSPITAL, we 
could go up  there. And, so we put our names down to go [indistinct], get a 
letter saying we were going  to Wellington.         218        Got off the boat 
and my sister Helen, she was nursing at  Wellington then, she said, oh, coming 
to Wellington, we're supposed to go to Auckland. Oh,  oh, what are you going 
into, I said, twenty- two, and she said, oh, you lucky little  brat, she said, 
that's the soldiers' ward, and she said, we're all dying to get in  there and 
you get in there, so - and then I was in there for quite a while, uhm, then I  
went out to Otaki, which was out at the Childrens' Health Camp, they had taken 
it over  for the older folks from Wellington HOSPITAL so as they could use the 
wards for me -  emergencies and soldiers. And then ... the Americans had shifted 
out of Silverstream  ... and they took the hospital over there.

MJ:      And all you - you know, if you hurt your leg you might  have to go back 
again, because then when I went back to the doctor one time, he said,  that's 
all the things I should have been doing. Playing sports and riding bikes, but  
once again, they didn't tell you that ... what to do, because I didn't really 
want to  be ... uhm  ... I didn't really want to be back in ho - look, HOSPITAL.  
985        MJ:      After he had gone back to Hillside he used to come  home and 
he was cough, cough, cough, cough, coughing and the, the doctor didn't like this  
and they though it was the dust of the turnings that were ma - making the bomb 
passages  or something out there and all the dust, and they thought it was that, 
he was into  HOSPITAL - and I don't know how long he was in there ... and that - 
in those days you could  only visit Mondays ... no, on Wednesdays, Saturdays 
and, and Sundays, but I think mum  was allowed in this, this Friday he, he, dad 
said, you know, I want you to bring me some  Aspros, you see, he said, I want to 
take some Aspros, mum said I can't do that. And I'm  not sure whether it was ... 
it was the Monday the lady from the shop came up and said  that dad had died. He 
had had a - oh, was it Friday, oh, I don't know now, and he had, uhm,  they, 
they thought he might have had fluid on his legs, but every time they pressed 
it,  they - it didn't leave a mark, and he - this morning they washed him and 
sat him up in  bed, and I'm not sure if he had his breakfast or not, and then he 
just collapsed. So  it had to do perhaps more to - and he had an enlarged heart

The house is not there now, it changes every time I go down to Dunedin.  I  
thought it was good when I read in the paper that you were after a bit of 
history.  I  have vivid memories of the great epidemic.  My mother took the flu.  
I thought it was a  marvellous thing.  She went to the HOSPITAL but I didn't 
understand it all.  I'd be turning  just 8 or 9.  My Dad got a pillowcase, put 
it on the end of a broom handle.  I didn't  know the house was under isolation.

LR	Yes, a bad sign all right.  But I was proud putting it out to  let people 
in the street below see.  The baker had just gone up in one of the old carts  of 
the time.  They have one of them in the museum here.  I put it out and he lifted 
his  hat.  I felt so proud.  The wee windows were shut down.  You know the four 
square  little pains.  I pushed that flag out and after that there was 
everything - butcher,  baker, postman - everything was left below our wooden 
steps.  We had a flight of steps  down to the street.  It was coming into the 
winter months too.  I remember the  first falls of snow. My Dad got a 
housekeeper.  It was while my mother was in the HOSPITAL where she ultimately 
died.  This snow was falling so there was no school of  course.

LR	Anyhow I remember one long funeral.  It took a long time to  get to the 
cemeteries then because they all walked.  These four black plumed horses would  
draw the hearse. There was a black plume on each corner of the hearse.  Blow me 
if  there wasn't a funeral from our Peter Street.  Every street was visited.  
There was nothing  but funerals.  This was coming near the end of the war or 
just after the War.  I went  into the HOSPITAL and my mother was still there.  I 
went in because there was a kiddies  epidemic of infantile paralysis.  I don't 
know when it started but I was in for  observation.  I remember quite well lying 
in this white quilted bed.  The wards were all open and  there were rows and 
rows.  The nurse came in with this beautiful-tasting malty sort of a  drink.  It 
was in like a teapot with a wee handle.  Then at visiting time a lot of  
soldiers were arriving. Some would arrive from Lyttelton and I think Port 
Chalmers, I'm not  sure.  They found that their uncles, aunts, mothers, sisters 
and that were in the  hospital.  There was absolute chaos.  And the smell, that 
burning creosote mothballs  mixture.  The sadnesses of all the faces, the 
crying.  One nurse was attending two or three  other patients.  I saw them carry 
her off, she fainted or something.  It was a real sad  terrible sortof a thing.  
I didn't know what it was all about.

       And in the New Year's Eve I was in agony, I couldn't, I could  hardly 
see, I didn't know where I was, I was behind the counter you know and was going  
like this and anyway they sent me home and when I got home, this is to St Clair, 
my mother  was in bed ill with ah, sciatica, so she said to me, uh 'Just go to 
bed and get a  hot water bottle', I had peritonitis and the next day the lady 
next door, Mrs Macassie,  she came in to see mother and mum said to her, 'Go and 
have a look at Zeita, she's not  well', and she came back and she said, 'She's 
ill'.  I was unconscious by then and ah so  they got the doctor and out and he 
just picked me up and took me in his car to Bromar  HOSPITAL and of course in 
those days there was no antibiotics and it was just the fact that  I was a very 
healthy person that I got through it.  I was unconscious for about  five or six 
days, they never expected me to get through, but I did and so, I was six  months 
recuperating and then I went back to work and I was seven years at A & T Ingles. 
57
       ZS:  Three years and three months (MC: right) when he died.  So  that was 
that. But the neighbours then, you see they'd come round with things and  
strangely enough that the September that year, my eighth birthday, Dad had gone 
into the  HOSPITAL the week before with diphtheria and ah when on my eighth 
birthday, we always  had little parties, 'cause there was enough of us you see, 
(MC: mm) and the Macassie boys  came into tea and I remember that Lindon brought 
me a lovely book and of course I was a  reader right from the time I could first 
read, and I was sitting there with a lump of  toffee, I can see, feel it still 
in my mouth, trying to look at this book, and being ill  you see, well that 
night I was taken off to the hospital with diphtheria. 
73
       ZS:  Oh yes in those days, yes and mother was meticulous, it  wasn't as 
if it was any neglect on her part, she was the most wonderful person and ah  
that, I was there in isolation in the HOSPITAL and Dad was there.  He was a 
funny man, a  strange man he didn't show much affection to anybody but going 
through his things  later on, here was an envelope, it had, mother and father 
were both beautiful writers, and  it had 'Zeita's first letter to her father' 
you see, and in it, I had written him a  wee note you see, 'cause although we 
were both in hospital, he couldn't come to me,  although he had the same thing.  
So that was that.  Well from then on, you know I seemed  just to grow, all the 
family were on the beach nearly all the time. 
77
       And I remember one time, you see I'm the eldest, and then there  is 
another sister - that's that one that does that, she's a painter, a very good  
artist, and then came three boys - Charles, Hugh and wee Willis you see, and 
then came  three girls, and a long time after came, what we called Nellie's 
mistake, Henry the baby of  the family.  He's six foot five and half, a big 
tall, good looking boy, man (MC: a very  large baby), yes, his mother was very 
sick then because she had a clot and if it had  gone above her knee it would 
have been dangerous and she was months in bed, the baby went  to Karitane 
HOSPITAL then. 
105
       ZS:  Well, I timidly, he said, 'You're better now', I got over  this, 
although I did have a very nasty hernia too, cause I had two big tubes in here  
you see and I timidly asked him if I, that I would like to be a nurse.  I feel 
at  home in a HOSPITAL and if any, anything goes wrong, say an accident or 
anything I feel  quite at home, I don't panic or anything like that.  And oh did 
he fly up in the air,  you know.  He was only thinking of himself, that's all.  
He was being selfish and sort  of thinking that my bit of money was keeping the 
house going you see.  So you didn't have  much say in those days (MC: right) 
what you wanted to do you see. 
201
       ZS:  Yes, and it was only after the first world war when they  had to 
diversify, and go in to, well they did poultry mostly, and supplied all the  
hotels, HOSPITALs and that with high class poultry (MC: right).  And when the 
government  took this place over, the three brothers who worked together here, 
well they weren't going  to work together later on so they all went out in 
different parts of it.  Herman,  people said, 'Oh what are we going to do for 
poultry' and all this and foolishly he kept  the poultry part on, which cost us 
a lot of money because we had to buy a place out the  Taieri, out at Wingatui to 
keep the poultry and I used to go out and help him then. 
[Phone rang]          467
       He wasn't well and he had, as I've said to you, he had two  bouts of TB 
through his life and ah he sold out then and ah he just took odd jobs then.  He  
was never ashamed to go and do a lowly job like the woolstores, he worked there 
for a  while, Macintosh Kileys, he was there for a while.  Never worried him, he 
was never  snobby at all in that, 'cause we were comfortable enough but it was 
just something to  do (MC: MMM) and we lived on that, we've always lived within 
our means which is, you  know, that is why I've got a free house, I've got a 
free car.  I don't owe any, and I paid  all my HOSPITAL bills yesterday, that 
was $600, just to take that little damn thing  off my eye.  gosh, I could have

I had a big  piece, I had a treacle tin, you know a golden syrup tin, inside 
there is a rim and I  was hanging on to it, and my sister wanted it and she 
pulled it and of course it sliced  that you see. Well he took me out to who was 
a great friend of mum and dad's, the  chemists and he bound it all up you see 
and said don't touch it for a couple of days.  I was just sneaking off to school 
and dad said, come and let me see your finger.  Of course what had happened that 
had lifted and the bandage had gone underneath, and  it was knitting on it.  I 
had to, dad had to take me the HOSPITAL and I think I had  about six or seven 
stitches in that.  When I was playing the piano, if I slid down from  the black 
key to the white and caught that, I instinctively lifted my hand.  So there  we 
are.                535
       You see they came from Wiltshire, in England, Upperting  Wiltshire, and 
ah this must have been one of the specialities of the place (MC: mmm, mmm)  but 
oh know, aunty, we always had birthday parties, just among ourselves 'cause 
there  were so many by that time, we always had that and that's why on the 
eighth birthday when I  had diphtheria,I had this lump of toffee in my mouth and 
I was trying to look at a  book that the Macassie boy had brought in and I 
couldn't, and that night was when I was  whisked off to the HOSPITAL.

       But you see that was the kind of thing, and yet I remembered  when her 
mother died, and I went and stayed with her for a while because she had two  
younger sisters, much younger and he was in the HOSPITAL with a broken leg or 
something and  the mother died, and I stayed with her, well,  we had to get up 
in the mornings, we  got lunch for the two girls to go to school, tidied up the 
house and then walked off all  the way down to A & T Ingles and same thing, came 
home, cooked their dinner and that so  although I stayed there with her, I 
didn't, we didn't go out anywhere.

       Yes, I took them right from the time, because the Plunket nurse  used to 
come up and the child was Mike of course, he was up in the front room, she  used 
to say - look it's lovely coming into a place that's quiet.  I never had music.  
I  never had radios going.  I'm not fond of radio, can't stand talkback show 
things, not  much, I suppose there is a lot I miss out on but I'm not fond of 
those things and she  said it's lovely and peaceful, quiet and healthy for the 
child you see (MC: mmm) and  then I joined the Plunket and I was on the 
executive in town for Karitane HOSPITAL,  couldn't buy a reel of cotton unless 
we said so.

       SS:      Well, uhm, my eldest sister, after she had done two  years at 
Otago Girls High School, she went to, uhm, oh, it was a commercial college, I  
think Ross Bottoms was the name of it, and she did a year there and then went 
into office  work. And she joined the Red Cross but, at that time, and she ... 
part of their training  was to go into the HOSPITAL for a week at a time and 
observe and help on the wards, and  one week they did a day time, and it - at 
some other stage they'd go on for a week during  the night shift. And we thought 
that perhaps that would put her off her thoughts of  going nursing, but it just 
encouraged her, and she went into nursing. And my other sister  worked in shops, 
in Brown Newing's, and she did the ... side for underwear and ...  foundation 
garments, that, that side of it.

       SS:      And she did, eh, training for that. And then later she  went 
into the Army, and it was the case of either go to the ... do laundry work,  
this was in war time, and she was given the choice of laundry work or working at 
Parkerside  HOSPITAL, and she decided to go into one of the services, so she 
joined the Army, and  she was in the stores [indistinct]

       SS:      Yes, wonderful. They gave you a bit of confidence, and  I had 
problems when my first son was born, I had breast abscesses, and ... it was  
good, the, the nurse just coming in, and then I had to have HOSPITAL 
[indistinct] I was  twice in hospital for about five and a half weeks all 
together.

MT:  I really have been very fortunate that Dad was as good - he  didn't drink.  
He smoked, but that stopped too because he had a very bad heart attack.  And he 
went, when he was at work and just took a heart attack and into HOSPITAL.  We  
had never heard of the operations that they - knew in those days.  340 MT:  He 
only was with us just before he died.  I've no recollection  of him being at 
home, but I think he was for maybe, it might have been while he was  sick.  But 
he died in the HOSPITAL.

Now from that discussion that day we often talked.  Dad wanted to  invest money 
and how, about ten years earlier, he'd had a chance of getting into investing.  
Mum wouldn't agree.  I could see her point, because she had so little money all  
her married life that she had to hang on to what she had.  And I've become very 
like that  too I've realised. But she had to hold on to what she had.  Anyway, 
it turned out Dad  didn't do it and that really upset him.  And he talked about 
that to me when he was up and  we were talking about it.  Now right up until he 
was in the HOSPITAL a week or two  before he died, he was still talking of 
investments.  He had no money.  He was living  with my brother.  He had nothing.  
But 'how, dear, if you could do this, it would bring  you in',  and I listened 
to him you know and I followed up and questioned myself and  found out.  He 
would have done all right.  He wouldn't have been too much on the  losing at 
this latter part of his life.

       JW:  He went away to the war.  My other brother, he got as far  as 
Trentham and he was to go overseas but his legs broke out in a, something like, 
what  do they call it? Something like eczema.  But anyway it stopped him going 
overseas.  All his gear went overseas.  We got a letter from my brother in Egypt 
for him and he'd  wrote down and told us that his mail was closed.  There'd be 
no more mail from him.  So  we just sent the letter up to him you see in 
Trentham.  Of course then before he got  away he come down to the HOSPITAL down 
here.  He was in hospital.  Of course the first  thing he wanted to know how 
Bill was in his letter.  He said, 'I haven't had a letter  from Bill.'  I said, 
'No, we re-posted it to you at Trentham'.  He said, 'I told you that  our mail 
was closed.'  I said, 'Yes, I knew it would be closed as far as you were  
concerned but we didn't realise that our mail was closed'.  Well that letter 
went to  Egypt and back again.  It went back on the boat with all his gear. 
That's how close  he got to go.          831

      JW:  She had diphtheria.  That was a fatal disease in those  days.  It's a 
blocking of the windpipe.  About I suppose a month or so later my mother got  
diphtheria and she was in the HOSPITAL.  I went to live with my grandmother and  
grandfather.                    55
      She had a very sad life.  She was married, she married a doctor.  He was 
the Superintendent of Wairoa HOSPITAL in the North Island.  I don't know  what 
but something, I always think it was a clot, went to his heart.  In those days 
they  had nothing to dissolve the clot.  They were bringing him from Wairoa to 
Auckland  but he died on the way.  My sister had one girl and was pregnant with 
the second child.  She brought those two girls up and took them all round. They 
had not much money because  they'd just started out in life.  But she took those 
girls all over the place,  sent them to Battle Abbey School, 1066 and all that 
down there.  And she taught in  London.  Then she took them all over Europe.  
They were young then.  She brought them back  and they went to Columba College.

      It wasn't so much ladies, but they did have a dress-making  place, and 
they had very exclusive lay - babies layettes and they specialised in that, and 
so  three sisters went in there, and when two married, Gwenda was there for 
quite a while,  and she was the one who shared the home with me, because we were 
the two single ones left  in Dunedin, and - cause our other sister, she, uhm, 
trained as a nurse here in Dunedin  HOSPITAL, and then got very involved with 
Army Airforce and Navy and was director of  Army nursing, and she - before she 
retired, and she has since died, but she was overseas,  and ... and then as Joan 
married, so Gwenda and I were the two who lived together for  eighty-two years.         
211        HW:      She was very ill, and then she, she was in Stafford  
HOSPITAL, and I remember one Sunday I went in, and I could tell she was very 
ill, and  the nurse knew she had a tempe - I was just fourteen I think, and I 
could tell the nurse  was very upset about her temperature, and yet they still 
brought a tray and said,  eat that up, there will be money in the plum pudding 
and I looked at it and thought, oh,  she can't eat that, she was operated on 
that night by Sir Jeffrey Barnett, and there'd be all [indistinct] at St. 
Matthews, and I remember walking home and cried  all the way home, and I walked 
from town to St. Clair. We'd think nothing of walking 
into town.               309
       HW:      And she was very ill and the doctor was out at  Waitati, Dr 
Williams, and when we rang him to say Joan was very - had a temperature and she 
was  very ill he said, oh I can't come because I'm out at my cottage, you see, 
and so we got  Dr Murray from the corner, he came, but then Dr Williams had a 
conscience so then he  came back, he came up the steps and he said to, uhm, Dr 
Murray, well, who is going to take  over now, you or me, and dad said, oh, well, 
Dr Murray was the one to come. But that  was very costly for us because we had 
to have an awful lot of help with Joan, and had to  get a surgeon for her and go 
to Stafford HOSPITAL -
