Cook Islands Personal

From Our Own Correspondent.

Rarotonga, Nov. 20.

Our C.M.O. is now Dr. Macknight, who, with his wife, arrived a month ago. Sa moans will remember him for his most successful surgical work when in charge of the hospital there. His reputation had arrived in advance of him, and the opera tion cases have been steadily queue-ing up, so the doctor will have a busy six months.

The Headmaster and Superintendent of Schools in Rarotonga, Mr. McKenzie, once of Niue and later of Aitutaki, is leaving on furlough. We hope that in New Zea land he will recover his health and return his usual energetic self.

The annual exodus has started already.

Next month will see a great diminishing in our numbers, though it is surprising how many of us there are left to “get to gether” at Christmas and New Year.
