Chosen Miss Canterbury When 19-year-old Aroha Manawatu won the “Miss Canterbury” title, she was the happiest and most surprised girl in town for her name was a last-minute entry. As a provincial winner she is automatically a candidate for the ‘Miss New Zealand 1968’ contest which will be held in Dunedin during Queen's Birthday weekend. From the time she left school, Aroha has been keenly interested in modelling, particularly fashion work, but apart from being chosen ‘Model of the Month’ in a local competition last year, she had never taken part
in a beauty or personality parade prior to the ‘Miss Canterbury’ show. Aroha, one of the family of six girls and two boys, is a direct descendant of two Maori chiefs, Tuahuriri and Te Maiharoa. She is a great-grandchild of Erihapiti Manawatu Te Ra.
