The Riverside School problem on the final acceptance of the school was reviewed by Attorney Bob Abrams and Supt. Daniels. The Lawson Construction Com pany has submitted a list of several construction items on the Riverside High School which thev felt should have been clas sified as "extras" with extra money being paid for the chang es. Mr. Lawson had proposed that these changes be submitted to the American Arbitration Asso ciation for a decision on wheth er or not they were legitimate requests. However, the Morrow rmintv School Board refused to submit the matter to arbitration due to a clause' in the contract that excludes arbitration proced ures.

The Maori people first came to New Zealand from the Polynesian Lslands and had their own form of religion before the Europeans came. We visited of a Moarl village which had been moved from a site near by, to preserve it. It wa being crowded out by city ex nuncinn. Thev had an almost perfect communal living. Each family had separate sleeping nito nnrl no food or drink was ever allowed in sleeping rooms. There was a large dining loage and every one ate there. Those who were proficient In food prep aration did the cooking, those who preferred or were good at hunting did that. Others garden, ed and others did laundry, weav. ing and so on. They had lagre store houses where food such as berries, vege tables and roots were stored. There were no animals In New Zealand before the whites or Europeans came. They did have birds which were very tame and could be killed with a club. The birds such as the Kiwi and others don't have wings because they had no need to fly from predators. Much of the cooking, laundry and bathing at Rotorua in an cient past and yet today is done in the thermal pools of the gey ser basin. The area around Ro torua is so underlaid with hot steam, one cannot dig a hole even to plant a bush or tree be' cause one might uncover a ere. vot that will emit steam.
