Nauru, May 12.
ANZAC DAY is always remembered on Nauru, and this year the day was solemnly observed. Children in all schools were addressed by their teachers, and after saluting the flag, were dismissed for the day.
At 12 noon, a short service was held at Administration Headquarters, where the police paraded under Mr. T. Cude, and were addressed by the Adminis trator. Many Europeans attended, and the simple service was closed by the sounding of the “Last Post.”
In the evening, the ex-servicemen held a smoke night at the theatre. Mr.
R. Truelove acted as secretary and Sisters Murray and Woods, ex-army nurses, attended. “Fallen Comrades” and “The Day We Celebrate” were fit tingly honoured, and two minutes’ silence observed. A suggestion of the chairman (Mr. H. Brittain), that similar functions be held regularly on Armis tice and Anzac nights was discussed and a meeting will shortly be held to consider this.
