Until Next Year
From Our Own Correspondent
Rarotonga, April 19.
THE satisfaction which attended the recent appointment of Dr. Tovey as Assistant Medical Officer for the Cook Group has been slightly married by an announcement that he is unable to leave New Zealand this year, and although several medicos have been approached none was willing to accept short-service in the Islands.
This is all the more surprising since it is generally known that Dr. Brass, one of the most popular and brilliant men for merly appointed to the Group, is only too anxious to visit us again in his official capacity. Dr. Brass is remembered as a new broom which swept particularly clean in shady corners and his return, even for a few months, would be greatly welcomed by many residents.
Right Rev. W. H. Baddeley, Bishop of Melanesia, who has been visiting Eng land, will arrive in Auckland by the Aorangi on June 8 from Vancouver, and will spend a brief period in New Zealand before going on to Sydney.
