1 CONC Notes from Mary Barnes (nee Pym), 2001
1 CONT
1 CONT Samuel Arnott Pym was a lawyer, and yes he retired as soon as he receiv
1 CONC ed his inheritance.  John (my Dad) used to say that his father played t
1 CONC he country squire and just spent it all.  Years later Emma Bertha ( Samuel
1 CONC 's wife) was still playing the weathly lady, with all the airs and grace
1 CONC s, although she wasn't ( Jill told me).  Dad remembered the family havi
1 CONC ng a big house,servants, a carriage (with a coat of arms on the door......
1 CONC hence the one hanging here above the TV. Dad (John not Robert!) want
1 CONC ed to find out about it).  The children had a nanny, and an absolutely fab
1 CONC ulous rocking horse that Dad loved.
1 CONT  
1 CONT Yes, the money was virtually all gone by the time Samuel told John th
1 CONC at he had three choices as far as his career was concerned.  The church, l
1 CONC aw, or the army and what you remember about Dad's finances, or lack of the
1 CONC m, is quite right Rachel.  After World War 1 Dad was paid out (I think tha
1 CONC t's what you call it) and had enough money left after paying his deb
1 CONC ts to emmigrate.  He thought Canada or NZ.  He decided on NZ because th
1 CONC ey played good rugby and grew good apples!  He arrived by ship and had £1
1 CONC 0. He had no desire to ever go back to England, even for a visit. 
1 CONT  
1 CONT The first job was somewhere in the wop wops in the North Island, a far
1 CONC m.  A tough old widow with three tough sons, they ate off a bare wooden ta
1 CONC ble except on Sunday's when she had a table cloth of newspaper. What a dif
1 CONC ference for him!  
1 CONT  
1 CONT I'm not sure how many farms he worked on.
1 CONT  
1 CONT He met Joyce through Freda.  Joyce and Freda had been friends for years, s
1 CONC tarting at Cheltenham Ladies College (Dad went to Cheltenham Boys' College
1 CONC ).  Freda was coming out to NZ to see "Bean" (as she called him) and ask
1 CONC ed Joyce if she'd like to come too. We have an old photograph book of Fred
1 CONC a's, labelled "snaps".  In it are pictures of both her and Joyce.  They se
1 CONC em from the photos to be quite modern/radical for their time (well, you al
1 CONC ready know all about Freda).  When I look at some of the pictures I thi
1 CONC nk of Isadora Duncan. Both of them were very good looking and had lovely f
1 CONC igures (another downer for Ehya who thought of herself as plain, like h
1 CONC er father, Arthur). I don't know when they were married but Jill (the elde
1 CONC st of their two children,the other one was John) was about 16years old wh
1 CONC en I was about one. 
1 CONT  
1 CONT Joyce had heaps of money from a family trust her father had set up (from t
1 CONC he proceeds of his sailing ships and the collection and sale of guano). Th
1 CONC ey bought a farm at Woodhill and later a run-off near by for fattening t
1 CONC he cattle.  They built a new house and it was, from all accounts, a thrivi
1 CONC ng farm. Joyce sent a photograph of her first load of washing on the li
1 CONC ne to her mother, it was a big deal as she'd never lifted a finger in h
1 CONC er life. 
1 CONT  
1 CONT Mum and Joyce met through a mutual love of music and being in local produc
1 CONC tions.  Joyce was teaching them how to do dance routines for HMS Pinnafor
1 CONC e. Mum met Dad then too because Joyce asked him to show the cast how to pr
1 CONC esent arms properly.  They were all good friends.  Joyce took Mum to Engla
1 CONC nd with her to help look after Jill and John (they had a 6 week boat tr
1 CONC ip to get there then, no planes).  Mum was overwhelmed by the house and se
1 CONC rvants Joyce's parents had and Mrs Godden gave Mum that little silver gond
1 CONC ola I have in the cabinet.  It was only after Joyce left Dad, taking the c
1 CONC hildren with her, that anything developed between Mum and Dad.    
1 CONT  
1 CONT Mum and Dad had to wait three years for Joyce and Dad's divorce to be abso
1 CONC lute, I was born fairly smartly (within the right time frame of course
1 CONC !) so perhaps the divorce was through in 1940/ 41. The 2nd World War had b
1 CONC egun and he was asked to reinlist. When they were first married he w
1 CONC as in charge of gun's (anti-aircraft?) on Mt Victoria, Wellington. He h
1 CONC ad started in Wellington when he sent your ring to Mum by post, it was tot
1 CONC ally unexpected as they had decided not to have one and she sat on a cra
1 CONC te outside the kitchen at Springside and bawled her eye's out.
1 CONT  
1 CONT After they were married Mum moved to Wellington but very soon after that D
1 CONC ad was asked to go to Nandi.  Mum was furious as she thought he'd done eno
1 CONC ugh already in the last war, but he said it was his duty and went.  She we
1 CONC nt back to Springside and soon discovered she was pregnant but was so piss
1 CONC ed off with Dad she didn't tell him for 3 months.
1 CONT  
1 CONT He was back by the time I was born and in charge of Mt Victoria in Devonpo
1 CONC rt.
1 CONT  
1 CONT After the war they bought the Whangarei Heads farm, but that didn't work o
1 CONC ut so they both returned to Springside.
1 CONT  
1 CONT Another thing we have here is a letter written to Dad from:-

1 CONT  
1 CONT Dear Major Pym,
1 CONT  
1 CONT The Director has asked me to write to thank you very much indeed for yo
1 CONC ur letter of the 12th October about the action of the Right Section of t
1 CONC he 59th Siege Battery at the battle of Loos.  The information you have giv
1 CONC en to the Section is both valuable and very interesting, it will now be fi
1 CONC led here among the Records, and thus will always be available for historia
1 CONC ns of the Great War in the years to come.  Meanwhile the Director has corr
1 CONC ected and amplified the Official History, and identified the 59th Siege Ba
1 CONC ttery as the one that pushed forward a Section of  6" Hons to the close su
1 CONC pport of the infantry attack.  Your account has many interesting details t
1 CONC hat we could have obtained nowhere else, and we are extremely gratef
1 CONC ul to you for writing.
1 CONT  
1 CONT Yours sincerely,
1 CONT  
1 CONT A.F. Becke.
1 CONT  
1 CONT The 6"Hons as mentioned Rob thinks is 6 inch Howitzer.  We wrote to the
1 CONC se guys too and have never heard back :-(.  Maybe it all got bombed in t
1 CONC he 2nd World War.  If it is anywhere though we'd love to know more.

1 CONT
1 CONT "Aunty Freda".  Progressive, bohemian, champion of the underdog,
1 CONT  communist - you choose.  She taught languages in Russia and in Hanoi
1 CONT  (during the Viet Nam war), was thrown out of Parliament
1 CONT  (demonstrating for suffragettes), knew James K Baxter, Tim Shadbolt,
1 CONT  etc.  Was a very interesting (and likeable) person, although rather a
1 CONT  stirrer.  Unfortunately she never wrote an autobiography.    
1 CONT  Although very involved with many causes, and seeming to have many
1 CONT  friends, she died a lonely death in a rest home in Wellington.

1 CONT
1 CONT Freda Mary Pym was born on 9 November 1896 at Alvescott, Oxfordshire, Engl
1 CONC and, one of four children of Emma Bertha Harrison and her husband, Samu
1 CONC el Arnott Pym, a solicitor. Freda attended Cheltenham Ladies' College fr
1 CONC om 1905 until 1916 and won a scholarship to Oxford University. She studi
1 CONC ed at Lady Margaret Hall from 1916 to 1919, gaining an honours degree in E
1 CONC nglish language and literature. At university she made her first contact w
1 CONC ith socialist thought, reading the New Statesman and taking part in stude
1 CONC nt discussions. After graduating, she taught at Bridgnorth, Newcastle-unde
1 CONC r-Lyme, Oldham and Plymouth.
1 CONT
1 CONT In 1924 Freda followed her brother to New Zealand and from mid 1926 unt
1 CONC il early 1927 worked in Auckland as girls' work activity secretary for t
1 CONC he YWCA. In 1927 she moved to Christchurch, and then in 1929 to New Plymou
1 CONC th, where her brother lived. In both places she worked for the YWCA. At N
1 CONC ew Plymouth she met her future husband, Eric Kingsley Cook, a teacher w
1 CONC ho shared her ideals. Both were active in the communist and unemployed mov
1 CONC ements, and from 1931 were members of the League Against Fascism, an inter
1 CONC national organisation which aimed to influence governments to isolate Na
1 CONC zi Germany.
1 CONT
1 CONT Moving to Wellington in 1934, Freda Pym was secretary of the Wellington wo
1 CONC men's section of the National Unemployed Workers' Movement from 1935, a
1 CONC nd worked tirelessly to improve the conditions of the unemployed, especial
1 CONC ly women. She helped organise demonstrations and deputations to Parliamen
1 CONC t, local authorities and landlords for better housing, cheap meals and imp
1 CONC roved legislation. She recounted a protest at Parliament: 'We shouted fr
1 CONC om the Gallery every time a member made some speech attacking the unemploy
1 CONC ed and the poor…I was the first to shout, as secretary, and the policem
1 CONC an who escorted me out was really shocked and told me that the lady sitti
1 CONC ng next to me was a Presbyterian minister's wife and that one ought to beh
1 CONC ave more decently in such company. But I knew she was the next one on t
1 CONC he list to start shouting.'
1 CONT
1 CONT During this period Freda became involved in the communist Working Women
1 CONC 's Movement, and helped organise its second conference in 1936. She also w
1 CONC as much involved in the preliminaries to the establishment of the Sex Hygi
1 CONC ene and Birth Regulation Society (later the New Zealand Family Planning As
1 CONC sociation) in Wellington in the mid 1930s. She arranged a representative m
1 CONC eeting of women's organisations, and study groups were set up, but she h
1 CONC ad left for England by the time the society was formed.
1 CONT
1 CONT Freda Pym and Eric Cook were married in Wellington on 12 September 1935, a
1 CONC nd went to England the following year. They did not have children. In Lond
1 CONC on the couple founded an alternative news service called the General Ne
1 CONC ws Service (later Democratic and General News), to ensure that the progres
1 CONC sive press of the world had independent news and analysis of the internati
1 CONC onal situation. Freda made contacts with people in the anti-fascist moveme
1 CONC nt, and worked for the WEA and in after-school child-care centres. Duri
1 CONC ng the war she drove trucks for the Women's Army Auxiliary Force, and join
1 CONC ed the China Campaign Committee. She became a member of the League Again
1 CONC st Imperialism and worked for V. K. Krishna Menon in the English headquart
1 CONC ers of the India League, which struggled for Indian independence until th
1 CONC is was achieved in 1947. Throughout this period she sent articles to New Z
1 CONC ealand periodicals: the Working Woman , Woman To-day , Workers' Weekly a
1 CONC nd Tomorrow. Immediately after the war Freda visited countries such as Pol
1 CONC and, Hungary and Czechoslovakia on behalf of Democratic and General New
1 CONC s. In 1948 Eric Cook died, but, with the help of friends, Freda kept the n
1 CONC ews service going for another two years.
1 CONT
1 CONT Freda Cook returned to New Zealand in 1950 and worked as a cleaner at Well
1 CONC ington Hospital, and as a teacher at Wellington College and at the Corresp
1 CONC ondence School. She also travelled to India, Russia and China. In 1960 s
1 CONC he was invited to North Vietnam as the first full-time English teach
1 CONC er at the university of Hanoi. This she described as 'next in line to t
1 CONC he UWM the most absorbing, interesting and beautiful period of my life'. T
1 CONC he letters she wrote to the New Zealand Monthly Review during the 1960s we
1 CONC re a great assistance to the New Zealand anti-war movement.
1 CONT
1 CONT In 1968 Freda Cook returned to New Zealand to attend the Peace, Power a
1 CONC nd Politics in Asia conference in Wellington. Krishna Menon had agre
1 CONC ed to attend the conference if Freda would introduce him. Freda deliver
1 CONC ed a message from Vietnam at the conference to an enthusiastic receptio
1 CONC n. The war was worsening and she was unable to return to Vietnam. She beca
1 CONC me involved in the New Zealand anti-war movement, joining the Committ
1 CONC ee on Vietnam. She visited Vietnam in 1974 and again after the war in 19
1 CONC 76 at the invitation of Premier Pham Van Dong.
1 CONT
1 CONT Freda Cook continued to work for socialist causes, campaigning against apa
1 CONC rtheid in South Africa as a member of the Halt All Racist Tours movement (
1 CONC HART) and the Citizens' Association for Racial Equality (CARE), and joini
1 CONC ng the Maori land protests at Bastion Point in the late 1970s. Mailou
1 CONC ts on behalf of organisations were her forte. She was determined to take p
1 CONC art in political activities even when she reached old age. Her last mar
1 CONC ch was an anti-apartheid family march to Parliament at the end of the 19
1 CONC 81 Springbok tour: she had to be helped and supported, but she made the ef
1 CONC fort to be there.

1 CONT Freda Cook cared about people more than political theories. In her opposit
1 CONC ion to the Vietnam conflict it was the effects of war on the Vietnamese pe
1 CONC ople that disturbed her most, and inspired her most trenchant observation
1 CONC s. She had a special empathy with those experiencing trouble - prisoner
1 CONC s, patients in mental hospitals, drug addicts - and kept in touch with a v
1 CONC ast number of people in New Zealand and around the world.
1 CONT
1 CONT Freda was small and at times she would exploit this apparent frailty, whi
1 CONC ch contrasted with the fearless statements she was accustomed to make. S
1 CONC he was morally and physically courageous: even in her 80s she loved to ri
1 CONC de on the back of a motorbike. All her life Freda Cook was a true rolli
1 CONC ng stone with virtually no possessions apart from her papers. She was alwa
1 CONC ys on the move; as she tired of one scene, she would be off to anothe
1 CONC r. In the last nine years of her life, however, she lived in a rest ho
1 CONC me at Titahi Bay, Wellington. She died there, aged 93, on 20 January 1990.
