Rewarded

Rarotonga, May 17

AN April 25 a presentation of foodstuffs was made to the various districts which had participated in the work of clearing the roads and waterfront after the recent hurricane. The gifts, contributed by the Administration, the main business-houses and the Union Steamship Co. consisted of cases of meat, sacks of rice, biscuits, etc.

They were handed over to the Arikis for distribution as a mark of gratitude for the co-operation of the natives in the task of reconstruction. That this voluntary labour was forthcoming speaks highly for the good-will which exists between the Administration and the community which it serves.
