A Maori woman, Mrs. Tuteri Rangihaeata, of Oha,ngai Pa, gave birth to triplets, three girls at a mlrsing home in Hawera (states a Hawera correspondent). The parents have eight other children. The event is the cause of much jubilation at the pa. Gifts and congratulations are coming from surrounding pakeha settlers of the district. An appeal for assistance by way of baby clothing has been made. A claim for the King’s bounty will be lodged by the parents. One baby was born just before midnight on June 13 and the other two just after that hour. “Three bonny girls, each exactly 51b in weight, and everyone here is as proud as a pouter pigeon,” declared the mid-wife. The case has attracted the interest of the Plunket Society and the charitable aid officer of the Hawera Public Hospital.
