Hui Amorangi at Whangarei A youth forum was an unusual feature of Whangarei's Hui Amorangi, held on 4–5 March, pupils from Whangarie Boys' and Girls' High Schools and Kamo High School taking part. Guest of honour was the Governor-General, Sir Bernard Fergusson, who was welcomed by the Bishop of Aotearoa, the Rt Revd W. A. Panapa, and the Bishop of Auckland, the Rt Revd E. A. Gowing. During his speech, Sir Bernard showed the 800 people at the welcoming ceremony two patus, given him a year apart by the same man. The first had been for the Governor to use in bringing Maori and Pakeha together and the second to try to bring the Chruches together. Many people helped with preparations for the hui, animals were donated, and all worked hard to make it a success.
