From Our Own Correspondent.

RABAUL, August 3.

METHODS of raising funds for the erection of the War Memorial Clock Tower were discussed at the annual meeting of the R.S. and S.I.L.A. in Rabaul, when it was pointed out that the balance required was some £4OO.

Already, over £ 300 has been raised and it was resolved that efforts be made to bring the sum to £5OO and then request the Administration to grant a subsidy.

A photograph of the proposed memorial appeared in the January issue of the Pacific Islands Monthly.

Rev. George T. Warren, of the Melane sian Mission School at Maravovo, Guad alcanal, left Sydney for further work in the Solomons by the Malaita on August 26, after a lengthy furlough in England.

He has been a member of the mission since 1913.
