Y.W.C.A. Charm Course About 50 Maori girls attended Auckland's first all-Maori charm course last March. The course was held by the Y.W.C.A. and was designed mainly for the young girl from the country who had begun to work in Auckland. Topics in the course included, Eat and be Beautiful, Grooming and Poise, Budgeting in the Big City, What to Wear and When, and Maori Arts, Singing and Dancing. The tutors were all well known in their fields and included a former Miss New Zealand, Mrs Leonie Yarwood.

Home Again Maori middleweight boxer, P. Savage, returned to New Zealand in February after spending eight years in Britain. While in Britain he had only four losses in 36 bouts. He also competed in many wrestling bouts. For most of the time he worked with the British Railways at Rhondda, a coal mining district in Wales. He intends to settle permanently in New Zealand with his Welsh wife and four children. Mr P. Savage with his wife and family Evening Post photo

Tombstone Unveiled The Rev. Anaru Ngawaka, a chief and spiritual leader of the Rarawa tribe, was honoured on Sunday, 6 March, when his tombstone was unveiled at a ceremony in the Anglican churchyard. The ceremony was held on the peninsula that the Rev. Joseph Matthews called ‘Mesopotamia’, which lies between the two rivers which form the harbour, the Awaroa and the Rotokakahi. About 200 people crossed the several hundred yards of water to the graveside in open boats. The Rev. W. N. Patuawa conducted morning service and later Holy Communion, worshippers kneeling at the old-fashioned circular altar rail. Besides the memorial to Mr Ngawaka, two tombstones commemorating other members of the family were also unveiled. When the tombstone was revealed from under its glittering pall and feather cloak it displayed an epitaph in classic Maori by the Rev. J. Hadfield. It spoke of the wisdom and chiefly attributes of the leader who was unquestioned chief of the Rarawa tribe.
