Maori Social Clubs On

Prom Our Own Correspondent

Rarotonga. Feb. 15.

THANKS to the generosity of Mr.

Chambers, a retired merchant from India, a much-needed want is being met and two native social clubs have been formed, one at Arorangi and the other at Ngatangiia—each with a mem bership of over a hundred.

Converting dwellings at considerable ex pense, Mr. Chambers has fitted each club-house with dance-floors, ping-pong tables, games tables, seats, lights, etc.

Each member pays an entrance fee of 1/-, then 6d. per month. A committee of members conduct the club, run two dances a week, and have inter-club ping nong matches. It will not be long be fore every village on Rarotonga has its own club.
