Canton Island

TWO British radio operators, Messrs.

Langdale and Rostier, with full equip ment and supplies to last for six mouths are now established on Canton Island in the Phoenix Group. H.M.S. Leith , which took them to Canton, returned to Auck land in September.

Canton Island is the most desirable island in the Phoenix Group, from the aviation viewpoint. It provides a suitable landing place for both land planes and sea-planes.

Pastor Pietsch, of Greenwood, Queens land, will leave Brisbane shortly to undertake missionary work in New Guinea for the Lutheran Church.
