A.N.Z. EXPERIENCE AND TRADITION OF SERVICE IS UNCHALLENGED This tradition of service, this background of experience has as its origin the first Bank established in New Zealand. In the 120 years that have passed since then, A.N.Z. Bank has seen the development of farming, the growth of trade, the increase in every New Zealander's need for friendly advice and assistance in the often complex world of finance. Throughout New Zealand, in almost every city or town, there is an A.N.Z. Bank Branch or Agency. Here modern and comprehensive Bank services are offered, services that because of experience gained over the years have been designed to cover every need. Ko te Peeke o A.N.Z. he Roopu whai mona! Koia nei te Peeke kaumatua i Aotearoa nei a nana hoki i Whakatakoto te kaupapa awhina i raro o nga mahi tuku moni, mahi paamu whakatu whare me era atu whakahaere i roto i nga 120 tau kua taha ake nei. E ki ana nga kaikorero ma te huruhuru ka rere te manu ara mehemea he whaakaro tou kaua e wehi ki te haere ki te Peeke o ANZ i tou takiwa, no te mea kei reira nga tohunga hei awhina i a koe.

Happy birthdays are mounting up for one of the oldest citizens of Auckland, Mrs Rawhina Tai Timu, of 31 Watene Cresent, Orakei, who is believed to be 113. Her family and friends sent her birthday greetings last month, but Mrs Timu, who lives with a foster-daughter, will not have a birthday party because she refuses to eat European food. Kumaras and Maori bread are the mainstay of her diet, and she does not take sugar or salt, though recently she has begun to put a little butter on her home-made bread. Mrs Timu was born in the Waiuku district and lived in Helensville for many years before coming to Auckland. Theo Schoon Photo For many months a team of carvers at Temple View, near Hamilton, have been making the carvings for a Maori village which is to be erected as part of the Polynesian cultural centre which the Mormon Church is building at Hawaii. They have been working under the supervision of the well-known carver John Taiapa, M.B.E. (above), who over the last 30-odd years has carved, and supervised the carving, in an incredibly large number of new meeting-houses. A Maori Mormon choir of 120 people will visit Hawaii this October for the opening of the cultural centre, later going on to the United States.
