A CONFERENCE of Seventh Day Ad ventists in Melbourne during Feb ruary, was informed by Pastor A. G.

Stewart that it was proposed to open a new training school presumably for S.D.A. mission teachers —at a spot about 28 miles from Rabaul, in New Guinea.

The period of training would be from three to five years.

Pastor Stewart said that the Seventh Day Adventist missions are now opera ting in most of the Pacific Islands —from Pitcairn Island in the east to Northern New Guinea in the west.

Captain L. E. Austin, manager of tht Papuan Government’s coffee plantation at Sangara, Eastern Papua, who has been spending a couple of months’ furlough in Australia, returned to Papua by the Montoro at the end of February. Mrs.

Austin, who has been abroad, is still in indifferent health and probably will re main in Australia for some time.
