Ka Haere Nga Whaea Ki Poneke East Coast and Wairoa Parents' Visit to Wellington Visiting her daughter. Mrs A. Wamoa, in Wainuiomata at the time of the parents' visit was Mrs Rina Taratoa of Gisborne. On 14 August this year, we parents set off to visit our sons and daughters who board and work in Wellington. Leaving from Hicks Bay, our two bus loads travelled to Wairoa that day, Sir Turi Carroll having invited us to call in there on our way and take part in the farewell to the Governor-General and Lady Fergusson. Sir Turi had accorded one of our party the privilege of presenting Ngati Kahungunu's gifts to Lady Fergusson—a fine kickie kit and a cardigan, hand-woven from sheeps' wool grown locally. Mrs M. Te Kawa, Dominion Vice-President of the Maori Women's Welfare League, presented the gifts. This was a great honour for the Ngatiporou party. Thank you, Turi! The following day, we arrived at the Waiwhetu marae, ‘Arohanui-ki-te-tangata’. where the host tribe welcomed us in the traditional way and Ihaia Puketapu made the speech of welcome. On the Wednesday, we split into two groups. Students from East Coast colleges met a group of overseas students alss watching the carenters at work.
