hoki mai ano. Ko te whakatonga tena o te Kumara me te Hue ki nga moutere. (5) He tika ra he maha tonu nga tikanga, me nga kupu, a Nga Poronihana e rite atu ana ki o Amerika—engari he ahuatanga tenei e kitea ana i nga iwi katoa o te ao. Heoi kaore i tika kia waiho ko aua wahi e tauriterite ra tena iwi ki tena iwi, hei meatanga he iwi kotahi ratou. Kao e rite aua ano nga tangata katoa, ahakoa no hea, i roto i etahi o a ratou tikanga. (6) Momo tangata. Mehemea ka whaia i runga i te momo tangata ka kitea, he momo ke Nga Poronihana, he momo ke nga iwi o Amerika. He Mongoraiti nga Inia o Amerika, he Iuropoiti ke nga Poronihana. (7) Nga Waka. Ko tetahi korero pai tonu hoki, kaore he waka o nga moutere o te moana e tika mo te hanga waka rere i te moana, engari a Amerika he rakau rarahi. Otira me titiro i te hanga o te waka o nga moutere. Herea ruatia ai te hanga o nga waka. Tetahi ahakoa ririki nga waka I tenei ra e taea ana te hoe ki waho i te moana, i te toa o te tangata i te matau hoki ki nga tohu o te rangi me o te moana.

HE PATAI (1) Pehea ta koutou ako wananga i enei whakamarama, a te Pukapuka a Moromona, tohunga o Nawai, me ta Te Rangihiroa? (2) Ka ahei ranei tatou ki te tango i nga korero o nga Karaipiture hei hitoria tuturu? Ko tena ranei te kaupapa o tenei mea o te karaipiture he whakaako i te Hitoria? (3) He tohu Nikoraiti, Mongokoroiti ranei kei a tatou kei te Maori? (4) Pehea nga korero a o tatou tupuna Maori mo te tupunga mai o te tupuna Poronihana? (continued from page 44) Tireni. Ko te tino take o te haere he titiro i te ahua o te Whakapono Karaitiana; kei te kaha, kei te ngoikore ranei. Kei te kaha, kaore e taea te korero. Mehemea e pera ana te kaha me te mahi tahi o nga Hahi o Niu Tireni nei kaiwhea mai. Kei te manaakitia te whakapono karaitiana e te Perehitini o Indonesia. Ko etahi o nga Minita o te Kawanatanga he karaitiana. He mea miharo tenei, i runga i te mea ehara te Perehitini (Sukarno) i te karaitiana; no te Whakapono ke ia o Mohamete. Nana tonu te korero i te aroaro o tona iwi: “Homai kia tekau nga karaitiana hei awhina i ahau ki te whakahaere i tenei whenua, ka tino tatu toku ngakau, kaore e taea te whawha te hohonutanga o toku koa.” He korero nui tenei. Kia ora ano koutou. Taria te roanga korero.

NEWS IN BRIEF …. A memorial to Rahiri, the famous Ngapuhi ancestor, is being built at Whiria Pa, near Pakanae, where Rahiri used to live. Contributions have been made by people throughout Northland. Rahiri lived about fourteen generations ago, in the early seventeenth century. The monument will face the memorial to Kupe on an adjacent hill. Organizer of the appeal is Mr S. W. Maioha of Russell. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ The Maori Appellate Court has allowed an appeal of the owners of Maori land at Mount Maunganui against compensation awarded in 1959 for the Whareroa Block taken by the Crown. The owners have been granted £43,582 instead of the earlier £35,846, as well as the cost of the appeal. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ A hostel for Maori apprentices is to be opened in Gisborne by the Salvation Army early in December. Known as Pine View, in Russell Street, the building will accommodate about thirty apprentices. Though aimed at Maori boys it will be open to European country boys. It is also intended to include some older men ‘to act as elder brothers to the boys’. Maori Unclaimed Moneys provided £5,000 towards the cost of buying the building, while the government is providing a subsidy which will be in excess of £4,000. Nonetheless, the Salvation Army's own contribution is to be a very substantial one, and they will be wholly responsible for management. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ The well-known ‘Kaikohe scheme’ to guide Maori families with family budgets has been introduced to Kaitaia where some clients have already been successfully helped. Mr T. Hawthorn, college principal, who acts as co-ordinator, states: ‘You might think the hotels are the main cause of the trouble, but so far our experience is that liquor is a very small menace compared with the system of usury which goes under the name of hire purchase.’ £400 hire purchase debts are common, he says, and grocery bills suffer. With the help of sponsors under the budgeting scheme, families soon see daylight in their financial affairs. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ The Maori owners of the Tarawera Block on the Napier-Taupo highway have offered to donate the first £5000 profit from government development of their lands to the Maori Education Foundation. They resolved this last July when agreeing to the government developing this block for eventual Maori settlement.
