From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, May 14.
BY the last Cephee for France, Monsieur Demay, Chief of Police, sailed from Papeete for a well-earned holiday in Europe.
For many years M. Demay has filled with distinguished ability and tact the difficult position of Chief of Police in the Colony. He has won the wholehearted respect and esteem, not only of local people, but also of the cosmopolitan population which inhabits Papeete and its environs.
Naturally, many among the latter element are unacquainted with the French language, and the troubles they thus often unwittingly bring upon themselves, have been smpothed out with unfailing courtesy and consideration.
Papeete residents look forward to M.
Demay’s return to the Colony early in 1936. In the meantime the office of Commissiare de Police is being filled by Captain Jacob.
Major Clive Joske, of Suva, was one of those who were honoured on the King’s birthday. He was created an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.).
