NEW ACT NOW IN FORCE On April 1, the provisions of the new Maori Affairs Act, 1953, began to apply. In several articles in Te Ao Hou we have discussed this Act, describing first the original Bill, and later, a number of changes that were made as a result of representations by the Maori people. The Bill was passed almost exactly in the form shown in the Spring issue. There was, however, one important change since that article was written, namely, that the provisions restricting the succession to small uneconomic land interests now apply only to land valued under £25, instead of £50 in the original Bill. Copies of the Act can be obtained by sending eight shillings a copy, plus fourpence a copy postage to the Government Printer, Wellington, C.I * * * * An outstanding Maori Rugby forward in Dunedin last season, P. W. Tapsell, is playing in Auckland this year. He is taking the final year of his medical course at the Auckland Public Hospital. As a side-row forward, Tapsell represented Otago and New Zealand Universities last season. Before he went to the University of Otago he attended the Rotorua Boys' High School. * * * * Maori women in pas around Hastings earlier this year competed in their first gardening competition. Out of about a dozen entries, the gardens of Mrs Ormsby, Kohupatiki, and of Mrs Edwards, Bridge Pa, were placed first equal.
