Miss Delamere, a member of the well-known eastern Bay of Plenty family, has taken up a position in Wellington as a Maori welfare officer. Before doing her social science course Miss Delamere was Maori welfare officer at Whakatane. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Rev.

Palmerston North will soon have a complete district office of the Department of Maori Affairs. Shortly before Christmas last year, the first part of the district office staff, the housing section, moved into Palmerston. The rest of the staff will probably come before the end of 1959, depending on the progress made with the new Government building in Rangitikei Street where the department will have its offices. This district office will cover Hawkes Bay. Wairarapa, Manawatu and the Wellington area, in other words the whole of the Ikaroa Maori Land Court district. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Anxious over the standard of Maori housing, the Raglan County Council has pressed for a survey of substandard housing within its boundaries. There has been a similar move in the Manukau County. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ An active Maori club has been set up at Tokoroa High School. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Mr Mark Metekingi, schoolteacher, Porirua, was elected to the Makara County Council last November.
