[1] Te Pipiwharauroa, He Kupu Whakamarama, Number 102, Gisborne, September 1906.

THE COUNCIL ACT

Since the Council Act has been repealed it is appropriate to look carefully at the content of this act, the good things and the bad things, although perhaps we are not the right people to reflect upon this law because we have not been involved with the activities of the Land Court. One part of this Act has borne fruit, the Block Committee. It is clear that most of the Act was wrong because it has not had positive results.

LOOKING BACK

The other day we heard a bird singing. It was not a new song but a song we hear every year. What was it? ‘Squawk, squawk, squawk seven, squawk, squawk eight, etc.’

Hey! It is the people’s pet, Te Pipiwharauroa; it is the offering of first fruits for people hemmed in by darkness; it is the proclaimer, the well-spring of summer, and even of the new year.
