? A new world record for a marathon twist contest was claimed by Mrs Ra Denny, the mother of three children, and Mr C. Witehira, aged 19, of Dunedin, when they both completed 132 hours of twisting in a Christchurch contest recently. The marathon was organised as part of a campaign to raise funds for a Maori Community Centre in Christchurch. ? The first two full members of the Tuwharetoa tribe to graduate from university received their degrees recently in Dunedin. They are Anthony Peter Hura (M.B., Ch.B.) and Wairehu Hikaka (B.D.S.). ? The Nga Hau e Wha (Four Winds) Credit Union at Pukekohe, which recently became a registered member of the New Zealand Credit Union League, is believed to be the first Maori credit union to have taken this step. Nga Hau e Wha started two years ago with a small group of Pukekohe Maoris interested in promoting the welfare of their community. Membership has grown to 100, with savings of £656 in hand and loans totalling £781 lent out among 27 people. In two years, 407 of the loans have been repaid.
