Something That Belongs Here This blending of the two cultures, Maori and Pakeha, is, in my opinion, how it ought to be. Only in this manner, I feel, will we be able eventually to develop a culture that we can immediately identify as our own — a culture unique to New Zealand, something that really belongs within these shores. ? With the appointment of Mr Taiki Parata as its manager, the Te Kaha Butter Factory, 44 miles east of Opotiki, is now staffed almost entirely by Maoris. The only Pakeha associated with the company is Mr Norman Perry, the secretary and advisory director. All the other directors of the company, and also all the suppliers, are Maori. Mr John H. Waititi is the chairman of directors; the trading department is managed by Mr Hakaria Pahewa. As well as the dairy factory, the company owns two camping grounds in Te Kaha. These provide holiday housing, camp and caravan sites, and the company plans to develop the grounds further in the near future. ? Members of the Arawa Trust Board for the next three years have now been appointed. They are: Messers A. Te A. Bennett, R. Te T. Kingi, H. Rogers (Whakaue sub-tribe); A. Keepa, P. Wihapi (Tuhourangi); M. Makiha (Wahiao); P. H. Leonard (Rangiwewehi); H. Te R. Te Kiri (Rangiteaorere-Uenukukopako); H. Awhio (Parua); R. Hunuhunu (Te Takinga); W. Emery (Te Rangiunuora); Te M. Morehu (Hinekura); T. Wharehuia (Rongomai); M. Tukuru (Tamateatutahi and Kawiti); H. Horne (Makino); H. A. Mohimoke (Tumatawera); K. Te Ua (Tarawhai); H. Semmens (Rangitihi); and K. Waaka, who represents the Returned Soldiers.
