? The artist Ralph Hotere, who is at present in Europe on an art scholarship, has spent some time painting in the south of France. He and his wife were offered the job of looking after a villa there during the off-season, and this gave him plenty of time and opportunity to paint what he wanted. Under the terms of his grant, it will be another year before they return to New Zealand. ? At Matakana Island last January, more than 500 guests attended the unveiling of a tombstone erected in honour of Mr Petera Gardiner, a prominent elder, who died last year at the age of 90 years. Guests were present from the Waikato, North Auckland, Auckland, and districts throughout the Bay of Plenty. Several Roman Catholic priests conducted a mass in honour of the unveiling. ? An Open Day held at Ratana Pa recently was attended by several hundred people, some of whom had never before been to the pa. The occasion was so successful that it is hoped to make it an annual event. ? If there doesn't seem to have been very much about your own district in ‘Te Ao Hou’ lately, this is probably because no-one from there remembered to send us any news recently. We would very much like to be able to publish more news, and would be grateful for more contributions from readers—accounts of meetings, weddings, obituaries, photographs, and anything else of interest. They don't have to be long, and they don't necessarily have to be very carefully worded; you can leave this to the Editor if you wish. We are always glad to receive articles, stories and poems, also. All contributions published are paid for.
