Rev. F. A. Bennett, the first Bishop of Aotearoa. Bishop Bennett's widow is Mrs Arihia Rangioue Bennett of Kawaha Point, Rotorua, and Mrs Wikitoria Amohau Bennett is the widow of Bishop Bennett's younger brother, the late Mr H. D. Bennett of Wellington. COVER PHOTO: This photograph by Ans Westra, which was taken at the Hui Topu at Wairoa last May, shows some of the Auckland party rehearsing for the competitions.
