KOPUA WAIHI A well-known farmer of the Tikitiki district was killed when his clothing became entangled in the shaft of a milking machine late on Saturday afternoon, September 21. He was Mr Kopua Waihi, aged 58, married, of Whakawhitira. Mr Waihi was demonstrating a separator to one of his daughters in the milking shed on his dairy farm. When his clothing became entangled he received fatal injuries before the machine could be stopped. Mr Waihi was a winner of the Ahuwhenua farming trophy five years ago. The Prime Minister, Mr Holland, made the presentation to him at the time of the unveiling of the memorial stone to Sir Apirana Ngata, at Tikitiki. A few days before he passed away, he was presented with a miniature of the trophy by the head of the Maori Affairs Department, Mr. Ropiha.
