From left Mrs Meri Kupe, Mrs Hiringipare Pirikahu, and Mrs Ngati Watene, of Waitara Discussions on Saturday night were on the Prichard-Waetford report on Maori land and the Maori Land Court. The meeting confirmed a council decision for a conference in Auckland to discuss the report. An attempt would be made to reach conclusions or make alternative suggestions, if required, for the Government's consideration. Another important topic discussed was the position of wardens. It had been appreciated for a long time that the work they did, especially at huis and meetings, warranted their receiving some extra assistance. Speakers pointed out that many wardens devoted considerable time to their voluntary work and often incurred expenses in travel and on clothing. The council agreed to look into ways to assist them. The service on Sunday was conducted by the Rev. T. Flavell and the address was given by the Bishop of Aotearoa, the Rt. Rev. W. N. Panapa. In the farewells, special thanks were given to the Aotea District Council, the Waitara Maori Committee, the Taranaki Trust Board, the Maori women's Welfare League and other organisations and people who joined in this great ‘Meet the People’ venture.
