ngati poneke hall in Wellington is in danger of demolition. The Ministry of Works recently announced that a proposed Government centre will extend over an area which includes the present site of the hall. The Minister of Works, Mr Allen, has told the association that no space will exist in the new centre for a Maori meeting house, but that an alternative site will be made available. a fabric design employing freely-interpreted Maori motifs has been chosen for use by the leading British fabricmaker Ziki Ascher. It is the work of Mrs Heni Sherratt, sister of Lady Pomare, who lives with her daughter, Mrs H. T. Fletcher of Te Awamutu. Her drawing, a black and white abstract pattern, was sent to Mr Ascher several years ago by Mrs A. M. Steven of Timaru, formerly an art teacher on the East Coast.
