WIREMU PAORA The death occurred suddenly at his home in Auckland of Wiremu Paora, eldest son of the late Rev. Hauraki Paora Kawharu, paramount chief of the Ngatiwhatua and Tamaki tribes. Mr Paora was educated at the Auckland Grammar School (1906–10) where he was for three years a member of the first fifteen and a Captain in the school cadet Battalion. Three years after leaving school he qualified as a surveyor and later passed the difficult computer's examinations. Mr Paora was severely wounded when serving with the Pioneer Battalion in Word War I. After his return to New Zealand he studied engineering mathematics at Canterbury University College and rejoined the staff of the Lands and Survey Department. Before the completion of the Shrine of Remembrance in the Auckland Museum, Mr Paora spent many months, spread over a period of years, touring the Auckland province, checking the names of those of his Maori comrades-in-arms who fell in the Great War, thereby ensuring that all would have their names inscribed on the Shrine's Roll of Honour. After his retirement in Auckland in 1951, Mr Paora enthusiastically continued his activities, so far as failing health would allow, in promoting the welfare of his people; and at the time of his death he was preparing a scheme on a self-help basis for Maori housing, to supplement that administered by the Government.

MRS NGARUMA KARAURIA The death occurred at Woodville of Mrs Ngaruma Karauria, a prominent chieftainess of the Rangitane tribe. She was aged 68. Mrs Karauria owned a considerable amount of property in Hawke's Bay, the Wairarapa, and the Murupara area; and her family were the original owners of the land which is now the Awapuni racecourse. Mrs Karauria's son, Ruru Karaitiana, is the well-known New Zealand song writer. During the war her hospitality to the men of D. Company of the Maori Battalion, in which her son served, was much appreciated. HAERE KI O KOUTOU TIPUNA I TE PO! HAERE KI TE TINI! HAERE KI TE MANO! HAERE! HAERE!
