Maori Festival Planned On behalf of the Ngati Hamutana Maori Club the Hamutana Progressive Association is planning a week-long Maori Festival of the Arts. It will be held in Hamilton from 22 to 27 August. Leader of the organising committee, Mr Moana Raureti, said that the festival would not be confined to Hamilton and district, but artists would be included from all over New Zealand. Plans for the festival include a field day, an international night, an evening of operatic music, poetry and drama, and a history of the Maori people Sound and Light. There will also be a day of football. Cultural competitions will be held on Saturday, 27 August, and finals will be held in the evening. It is hoped to have a prominent personality to present the prizes. Arts and crafts will be on display every day. Sponsorship of £350 has come from Waikato Breweries for the cultural evening, but the committee is hard at work raising further funds for the festival. Members of the committee include Mrs A. Hapimana and Miss K. Sargeant.
