Uttering his fervent cry, Willie Weka is again on the warpath. Two dressed wekas have been prepared, one for our adopted ship, the H.M.N.Z.S. Blackpool, and the other to be presented to the Lions when they play here on August 17. Those responsible for the completed models are, from left, Messrs G. Hutchins (who made the football), G. Moles (display case), V. Davy (taxidermy and mounting), Miss K. Campbell (costuming) and Messrs R. Berry (display case) and J. Burland (public relations). Mr P. Fisher (Wildlife Officer for Gisborne) obtained the birds and the Government licences and Mr J. C. Berridge supplied the pine bases.
