Ranginui, the new war-memorial meeting-house at Hairini, Tauranga (see photo below) was opened on 6 March by the Governor-General, Sir Bernard Fergusson, in the presence of 3,000 visitors. In his speech Sir Bernard said that just as the name Tauranga meant an anchorage or haven, so the meeting-house and marae would shelter the traditional arts and knowledge. It would also be a place from which young people would go out to seek new adventures and to become leaders, not only of the Maori or of the European, but of New Zealanders as a whole. The meeting-house was dedicated by the Bishop of Aotearoa, the Rt. Rev. W. N. Panapa.
