Te Kopara 75

Te Kopara 75


[3] Te Kopara, Number 75, Gisborne, 30 April, 1920.

‘Iti te Kopara, kai takirikiri ana i runga i te Kahikatea.’
Although the Bellbird is small, he plucks at the Kahikatea. [cf Nga Pepeha 908]

INFLUENZA AMONGST THE MAORI PEOPLE.

In recent days influenza has returned to some parts of Hawkes Bay and to some other places. Although it is not as severe as the occurrence of that illness in 1918, the number of people with the illness has perhaps passed that in 1918. One thing is very clear, that it is afflicting Maori more than Pakeha.
