DEBT TO PIONEERS
ASSOCIATION REMEMBERS Press Association. WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The provisional committee of the New Zealanders’ Association has met regularly since its appointment at a recent meeting of native-born New Zealanders. At the last meeting the honorary organiser reported that more than 400 men and women born in New Zealand had signified their intention of becoming members. The committee has drawn up a constitution, and has decided to recommend that each applicant for membership must have been born in New Zealand, or on the voyage to New Zealand of his or her parents. The first of the proposed objects of the association reads as follows: “To honour and perpetuate the memory of the old pioneers, who. in the face of difficulties and hardships that to the present generation seem to have been almost insurmountable, so well and so truly laid the foundation of New’ Zealand as it is to-day.’’ The committee will recommend that the association do not affiliate with the New Zealand Natives’ Association, as the constitution of that body permits other than native-obrn New Zealanders to become members.
