TE AO HOU KO TA TE AO TAWHITO He aha ta nga kaumatua i ki ra ko te pakaritanga o te tangata kei te wairua o ona tipuna Maori? Tera ano tenei e tika? Ko ta te tangata kei te kite iho i te noho a te Maori i nga taone ki, ka penei na, ka nui te taikaha o te noho taone ki te tangata ahakoa tamariki, hei reira ka hoki nga whakaaro ki ta nga kaumatua, a ka raparapa nga whakaaro ki to ratou Maoritanga. Ka taikaha te noho inga taone ka konohi nga whakaaro ki nga mahi Maori. Mehemea he tangata whai whakaaro ka haere ki te korero i nga pukapuka mo nga mahi o nehe ra. Ahakoa ra kaha te konohi o nga whakaaro ki nga mahi Maori ki nga taonga Maori ka mau tonu ki nga mahi Pakeha hei oranga mo te tinana, ko nga mahi Maori hei whakaahuru i nga whakaaro. He aha tenei Maoritanga? Ehara i te Maoritanga e kitea nei e te whatu, engari ia ko te wairua hohonu o te Maoritanga, ko te ihi ko te wana o nga tipuna kua mene kei te po. He takitahi nei tenei momo tangata e kitea e nga taitamariki noho taone a ka kite ana rere tonu mai te wehi me te ihi. I mua ko nga korero mo nga mahi o namata te kinaki o te noho a te tangata a te kaupapa o nga mahi. Kua ngaro te tangata a ko nga pitopito korero kei te pukapuka a Kawana Kerei—Nga Mahi a Nga Tupuna-tetahi huarahi ki te wairua o te hunga kua mene kei te po. Kei taua pukapuka nga korero mo Hatupatu, mo Turi, mo Manaia o te Maori ona tipuna. Mau ana te wehi o nga mahi a aua tipuna, otira ko te kaupapa tera o te Maoritanga. Ka nui te oho o te wairua ki te pupuri i te Maoritanga a e tika ana kia hohonu ano te hoki o nga whakaaro ki te tuturutanga o te Maoritanga.

An announcement from THE N.Z. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IT IS A FACT: THOSE WHO SMOKE HEAVILY ARE MORE PRONE TO LUNG CANCER IN GREAT BRITAIN the proportion of lifelong smokers who will die of lung cancer is something like one in eight. The number of non-smokers who will die of lung cancer is about one in three hundred. IN NEW ZEALAND the death rate is rising. • In 1926 there were nine deaths from lung cancer and the age-adjusted mortality rate was 1.10 per 100,000 • In 1955 there were 286 deaths from lung cancer and the mortality rate was 18.7 per 100,000. • In 1956 deaths numbered 303 and the mortality rate was 19.0 per 100,000. • In 1957 preliminary figures indicate that 347 people died from lung cancer. The risk of death from lung cancer rises in proportion to the number of cigarettes smoked. It is estimated that if a person stops smoking in his early forties his chances of getting lung cancer are reduced by probably half. Giving up smoking reduces the risk • If you are a non-smoker—stay that way • If you are a heavy smoker — cut down or use the less dangerous pipe or cigar • Encourage young people to leave tobacco alone — parents should set the example.
