‘Ae. Engari pea he “flagon” mo etahi po.' ‘Ka pai tena ki a Heta.’ ‘Ka pai ano hoki ki a tatau. Hei whakamaku i nga korokoro.’ E kata tonu ana ratau kua tae atu ki te kainga.

The Arnett family of the Bluff have three sons pursuing successful careers as overseas journalists, John, the oldest, works for the Vancouver Sun, Peter is a foreign correspondent in Saigon for American Associated Press, and David is with Reuter in Fleet Street. One issue of the Vancouver Sun recently had frontpage stories by both John and Peter Arnett. ‘You know what?’ said Peta. ‘We’re a pack of real no-hopers.

They felt again the warmth of the Maori home. Wanted to buy: nos. 2 and 8 of ‘Te Ao Hou’ at £1 each, Write to J.W.P. c/o the Editor, ‘Te Ao Hou’, Box 2390, Wellington.
