MONEY FOR MAORI CAUSES At its annual meeting the Maori Purposes Fund Board made provision for continuing the work of recording Maori chants. It was explained that the board's secretary. Mr W. T. Ngata, who has been doing the work on behalf of the board, has visited most of the areas from which chants can be obtained. Much material has been collected and is on tapes and storage discs prepared by the New Zealand Broadcasting Service which has stated that the material on the storage discs will be good for a limited period only. The Maori Purposes Fund Board decided therefore that it was essential that the material recorded to date should be produced on Long 5. The loose threads at the end of each strip form the warps of the taniko pattern. Mrs Hetet colours them black and uses strips of various colours for weft. The colour desired in front forms the active thread and the others merely continue along behind. Thus, if black is the desired thread, the black makes a full turn around the white, yellow and red threads for the number of warps desired. After crossing the last warp black passes back to join the passive threads and white, yellow or red, as desired, is brought forward. Thus, to change colour, black and red make a half turn. Playing records so that they will be available for students and others. The Board therefore set aside £1000 for the cutting of master discs and the processing of records. Another decision of the board at its annual meeting was to commission the Wellington journalist, Mr Eric Ramsden to write a book on the life of the late Sir Apirana Ngata. The Maori Purposes Fund Board resolved to grant £1000 towards the building of the Palmerston North Maori Battalion War Memorial Community Centre and £300 to the Adult Education organisation to be expended on the teaching of Maori arts and crafts. 6.
