MUSSELS FOR TROOPS
PROVIDING FOR MAORIS SHELLFISH FOR OVERSEAS The Ngati Olautahi, a club recently formed to provide a community centre for the Maoris of Christ-* church,* added last week-end to the work undertaken to help the. Maori troops overseas. A. short time ago members of the same club, with, the help of the Tuahiwi Maoris, gave a concert and witii the proceeds bought £100 worth of mutton birds to send overseas. Last week-end the members made an excursion to Akaroa with members of the Akaroa and Little River Maori communities and collected 20 bags of mussels. These they boiled down at the Kaik and sealed in casks of vinegar ready to send to the Maori troops in England. There were 38 gallons of prepared mussels. Mr Jack Morgan was in charge of arrangements for this expedition of the Ngati Otautahi, which takes its name from the original Maori name for the site of Christchurcli, Qtautahi, and the Maori word for tribe, ngati.
