With certain Government assistance already proffered, and by special district effort, it is hoped, in the very near future, to convert the Papawai Maori Pa meeting house into a building which while retaining the national characteristics of the natives, will serve as a place of amusement for European and Maori alike. The Renovation Committee, which includes Mr Ben Roberts, M.P. for Wairarapa, and' Mr. J. Robertson, M.P. for Masterton, has become a very active organisation, which has behind it a ladies’ committee of over twenty. Following the resignation of Mrs Boyd as secretary, Mr R. G. Vile, a member of the committee, has been prevailed upon to take over the position. Buildings Dismantled. With the complete dismantling of buildings at the Papawai Pa, the Renovation Committee has a certain amount of useful second-hand building timberto dispose of and an advertisement relative to this appears elewhere. ■ Personal.' ’’ * < The death occurred at Wellington on April 24, of 'Mr Finlay lan Mac Lean, eldest son of tne late Mrs A.
