'Native Farmers of New Zealand'
RAYMOND FIRTH, Ph.D.
Last week Dr. Raymond Firth told you about a Polynesian people who live in a tropical climate, in the island of Tikopia. Today he is to speak about a section of this great Polynesian race, the Maoris, who live in a temperate climate in New Zealand, to which they came in canoes hundreds of years ago.
Today they are mainly dairy farmers.
Dr. Firth will tell you about their clothes, their food, their love of the land. He will discuss their tribal pride and the influence of their chiefs ; their native Dance ; their slight contact with the outside world and their friendliness nevertheless with Europeans.

' Rooks and Rookeries'
ERIC PARKER
Rooks are crows, but crows aren't rooks, and there's a world of difference. Both belong to the crow family, but so do magpies, jays, and ravens. Rooks are friends of the farmers, but crows are their enemies, for the first eat grubs that destroy the crops, while the true crow loves nothing better than eggs and chicks.
Though there are grey or hooded crows to be found in Britain, the crow more commonly seen in England is the black or carrion. And one of the things Mr. Eric Parker is going to point out to you today is that the black crow and the rook, that are so wide apart, are very much alike to look at. But true crows are unsociable birds and build isolated nests, whilst rooks, as you know, love crowds. They go about in crowds ; they nest in crowds ; at evening the sky may be black with them.
The same old nests ; perhaps a stick or two more. The same old colony in the same old tree. The same old cawing. It is of the benevolent rook and his massed family life you are to hear this afternoon.
