Micki the Mina

Mina birds, now so common in New Zealand, can be taught to talk as well or better than any other bird. This one, named Micki, belongs to Mr and Mrs J. Mansfield, of Auckland, who have reared him from the nest. He's just about boss now, spending most of the day walking and talking in their shop in St.Kevin's Arcade. Feeding him a titbit is 12-year-old Jacqueline Corner.

Miss New Caledonia, petite 17-year-old Christine Delierre, only went in for the contest "because her mother wanted her to." But she has been enjoying her tour of New Zealand, which was part of her prize.

The Groom Came C.O.D.

There's a parson in that box. The Rev. John McKinley, to be exact. Some of his "friends" are wheeling him into the inward parcels branch at the Takapuna Post Office for delivery to the home of his bride of the next day, 26-year-old Christine Nicholls, of Brown's Bay.
Seems John had been ribbing his married pals for so long that when his turn came to say goodbye to single blessedness, they got their own back in this unusual premarital prank. John was a willing party, of course!

Distinctive Label. Champion 12-foot skipper Wayne Dillon is seen fixing a distinctive "New Zealand Made" plasticised label to his yacht Nivea Girl before leaving for the Sydney championships. The labels were donated by the N.Z. Manufacturers' Federation, and were made by Raywin Press Ltd., Mangere.

New Zealand Made. What's that in the middle of the plush Logan Park Motor Motel conference room? It's a Trekka, the first motor vehicle to be built in New Zealand, going on show at a special preview. The Logan Park conference room is designed to admit cars and other vehicles for functions such as this.

Welcome!

Age, youth, a warming welcome, and the bewilderment of childhood.....they're all conveyed in this picture by Wal Britton, of Auckland. He took it when three Tokelauan families and 22 single women arrived at Mangere recently under the resettlement scheme administered by the Island Territories and Maori Affairs Departments. Miss Tupou Simeti (left), one of the new arrivals, receives the traditional welcome from Mrs Tura Hira, and it's all a source of wonder to little Kaloline Timena.
