Mrs Te Pura Taka The death occurred on May 4 of Mrs Te Pura Taka, wife of Mr George Taka, of Prospect Terrace, Pukekohe. Mrs Taka was a foundation member and past-president of the Maori Women's Welfare League—of which she was a representative of the Honouring Age Committee—a member of the Tribal School Committee in Maori Welfare work in Pukekohe. Mrs Taka also played a prominent part in the Queen Carnival which raised funds for the Maori Hall in Pukekohe. She was highly respected by both Maori and Pakeha residents, and her passing will leave a tremendous gap in Maori welfare work. Mrs Taka is survived by her husband and three children.
