The only Maori to be in charge of a home for the aged is Sister M. Manawatu, who runs the Buchanan Home at Greytown. She was the only Maori at a meeting called in Wellington by the Health Department recently to discuss the problems of old people in New Zealand. In the photograph Sister Manawatu is seen meeting the Minister of Health, the Hon. H. G. R. Mason. Before marriage she was Mere Wehipeihana, of Ohau, near Levin.

Old people gathered at the Centenary celebrations at Ngaruawahia.
