To their homes and parents! No their mother does Not want them Their home is in An orphanage They are love And they grow on love When there is no love They die They are creation of life The beautiful miracle Of love. Little Susie Susie is a little girl Going to see the Animals in the zoo She sees a big grizzly And she is afraid Frightened of the bear Afraid of everyone Of everything She knows only fear To reach Susie Would to be patient To care and show You love her To help to understand Her want, to help to Make her feel safe And secure But Susie is only one Of the intellectually Handicapped children So pray for her.

Gift from Canada This photograph shows a 2 ft. high stone carving of an Eskimo figure with, in the background, a Maori pare or door lintel. The pare was carved by Mr Jock McEwen in 1946 and is one of Ngati Poneke's most valued possessions. The Eskimo carving is by master carver King Meata of Cape Dorset, Baffin Island. It was presented to the Ngati Poneke Maori Association on 17 July 1973 by the Canadian High Commissioner, Mr J. A. Dougan, together with a cheque for $1,270 towards the Association's national marae building fund appeal, as a demonstration of his country's affection for the Maori people of New Zealand. The money and the cash to pay for the valuable carving were raised through the sale at the National Airways Corporation in Wellington of a shipment of carvings on behalf of the Canadian Eskimo Carvers Co-operative. In thanking the High Commissioner for the donation and carving, the president of the association, Mr F. B. Katene, said, “Your country is a long way from New Zealand but your aroha has brought us close together. We will accord the statue a place of honour in our new marae as a symbol of our friendship. We hope you and your people will be proud to think that in the Ngati Poneke marae there is a part of Canada as well.”
