DR. BUCK TALKS TO ONEHUNGA ORPHANS
Dr. Peter Buck, who is sailing from Auckland to-night for Honolulu to take up -a commission for Polynesian research work, was accorded a most hearty reception at Saturday evening's meeting of the Oneliunga Orphans’ Club.
In conversational style Dr. Buck kept the company in a continued strain of sincere interest by his narratives on Maori folk lore, singing, customs and habits, and general traditions of the race, all given in almost faultless English, but embellished with Maori oratory and expressions ever delightful to the nnkeho.
