Will subscribers kindly inform us of any change of address, or at least make arrangements with the Post Office to have their copies forwarded to them. * * * Stories Wanted: Te Ao Hou still requires more writers and artists. We want fact and fiction; we want Maori or English writing; we want drawings and photographs. Here is an opportunity for an absorbing pastime, and the chance to earn a little extra as well. Let us know what is happening where you live. News items on happenings throughout the country, sports news and obituary notices are always gratefully received. * * * Contributions in Maori: Ko tetahi o nga whakaaro nui o Te Ao Hou he pupuri kia mau te reo Maori. Otira ko te nuinga o nga korero kei te tukua mai kei te reo Pakeha anake. Mehemea hoki ka nui mai nga korero i tuhia ki te reo Maori ka whakanuia ake te wahanga o ta tatou pukapuka mo nga korero Maori. * * * Renewal of Subscriptions: Please see whether your copy of Te Ao Hou contains one of our renewal forms. If there is a form in your copy, this indicates that renewal of your subscription is due. Please do not delay and send us your renewal today. * * * Back Issues: We still have a few copies of past issues of Te Ao Hou from issue 4 onwards. These copies can be obtained from The Editor, Te Ao Hou, P.O. Box 2390, Wellington, for 2/- each.
