Study the architect’s impression of what our Orphanage should he like, and you II appreciate what a. tremendous amount of thought and foresight has been put into the planning of this home toi Northland's homeless children. “One hundred pounds is the aim. ” remarked one of the members of the Social Club which is organising the ball, “but if we can make it more, so much the better. Whangarei, in a civic way, is doing all that it can, to make the ball a first-rate success. The Borough Council is co-operating and othe businessmen have given generously. Our supper will come to the tables cost free; free buses have been provided tto bring in patrons from some country dis riots; Whangarei bands are helping and will provmc the music free of charge. Whangarei’s Mayor smiles upon the effort and has given his patronage to the ball. Truly this is Whangarei’s second big function to raise funds for Tikipunga Orphanage, an Whangarei citizens will give it the support it deserves.” Kupe and H.Q. are going down in history tomorrow; their mission of good will be perpetuated in Maori song ami dance. An appeal was made to the folk of Whangaruru to assist the Orphanage by providing one or two special betweeu-dance numbers. There was a ready response and immediately vhese renowned harmonists went into training, and what they have to offer is something special in the way of Maori melody.
