	DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
		Elizabeth McCombs became a political figure in her own right in 1921 as the second woman to be elected to the Christchurch City Council.
		Elizabeth was conscious that her sex was an obstacle, and in her second attempt to win a seat, at Christchurch North in 1931, she faced the issue squarely by using as her slogan: 'Vote the first Woman to the New Zealand Parliament'; she admitted publicly that this distinction was, indeed, her ambition.
		Elizabeth McCombs had dedicated herself to improving the lot of women and had demonstrated that women were the equal of men in political life.

		I've got an Archibald McCombs who was born (according to his son's history in Wood Co, Ohio) 13 May 1799 in Washington Co, PA. Looking on the 1800 census, Robert is the only one who had a son less than 10 yrs old.
		There may also be a connection with John McCombs; Catharine Jeffers' brother Joseph married Elizabeth McCombs in Harrison Co, Ohio 25 Mar 1830.
		I believe Elizabeth was born in Harrison Co, Ohio and may be the daughter of John & Margaret McCombs.

	UNEMPLOYMENT IN NEW ZEALAND AT
		At times of weak labour demand, any assessment of whether the large numbers of people with low or nil incomes are in the workforce or not is subjective; some would say meaningless (eg Smuts 1960, p.79).
		In this paper's opening quotation, Elizabeth McCombs separated the unemployed into three categories; categories which match the three central categories of Figure 1.
		In estimating a total of 224,000 members in the non-Maori workforce without employment or with grossly inadequate employment, this paper supports her claim that there were 240,000 fully or partially unemployed people in the New Zealand workforce in 1933.
