As well as Sir Turi Carroll (whom we had an article on in our last issue), a number of other Maoris received honours in the Queen's Birthday Honours this year. Mr Hone Heke Rankin of Kaikohe was awarded the O.B.E. Mr Rankin is a descendant of the famous Hone Heke who three times cut down the flagstaff at Russell, and a nephew of the Hone Heke who was the first Northern Maori, M.P. Mr Rankin has worked hard over a long period for Maori interests, taking an active part in many enterprises and organisations. Mr Mete Kingi Takarangi, a highly respected elder of Putiki, Wanganui, has been awarded the M.B.E.; so has Mr D. M. Perry of Opotiki, a Pakeha who is very well known indeed in Maori circles, and who has done much to assist Maori organisations. Major B. M. Poananga, of the New Zealand Regiment (Regular Force), who lives at Porirua East, was awarded the M.B.E. (Military Division), and Corporal Lewis Tuka Williams of the New Zealand Regiment (Regular Force), who is serving in Malaya, was awarded the B.E.M. (British Empire Medal). Flight-Lieutenant Te Waaka Hemi Morete, of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, Whenuapai, received a Commendation ‘for valuable services in the air’.
