GOOD CHRISTMAS PRESENT A subscription to Te Ao Hou makes a good Christmas present to relations and friends. If you let us have, together with a subscription, the name and address of the person to whom you wish to give Te Ao Hou. we shall send him or her one copy before Christmas, as well as a card with Christmas greetings, on which you will be mentioned as the kind donor. Literary Competition: We received many fine stories for the competition this year. The winner will be announced in our next issue, No. 17. Maori Authors: In our last number we gave a list of fourteen Maori and part-Maori authors who had contributed stories, poems, etc., to that issue. This time we are publishing work from another eight authors. Some of these are already known to our readers from previous issues, but none appeared in issue No. 15 when we gave our first list. They are: the late Reweti Kohere, of Te Araroa (represented by one of the stories he wrote for Pipiwharauroa), Kem Tukukino, Wellington, Colleen Sheffield, of Helensville, Rowley Habib of Taupo, Tawai Kawiti of Otiria, Rev. Hohepa Taepa, of Otaki, Pei Te Hurinui Jones of Taumarunui, and Te Aka Rapana of Te Tii. Contributions in Maori: Ko tetahi o nga whakaaro nui o Te Ao Hou he pupuri kia mau te reo Maori. Otira ko te nuinga o nga korero kei te tukua mai kei te reo Pakeha anake. Mehemea hoki ka nui mai nga korero i tuhia ki te reo Maori ka whakanuia ake te wahanga o ta tatou pukapuka mo nga korero Maori.
