MAORI V.C.
Auckland, This Day. The presentation of the Victoria Cross to the relatives of the late Lieutenant Moana Ngarimu is to take place at an East Coast centre, probably Ruatoria, on a date to be fixed after the arrival of the decoration in New Zealand. This information was disclosed to a meeting of tribal committees from Hick’s Bay to Wairarapa by Sir Apirana Ngata, who said the Gover-nor-General had approved the proposal. It was also reported that the East Coast people, Maori and pakeha, had suggested as a suitable memorial to Lieutenant Ngarimu the raising of a scholarship fund to assist deserving Maori youths in their education.— P.A.
