Mussels for Maori Troops
The Ngati Otautahi, a club recently formed to provide a community centre for the Maoris of Christchurch, added recently to the work undertaken to help the Maori troops overseas. A short time ago members of the same club, with the help of the Tuahiwi Maoris, gave a concert and with the proceeds bought £IOO worth of mutton-birds to send overseas. Last week-end the members made an excursion to Akaroa with members of the Akaroa and Little River Maori communities and collected 20 bags of mussels. These they boiled down at the Kaik and sealed in casks of vinegar ready to send to the Maori troops in England. There were 38 gallons of prepared mussels.
