Market Quotations

Even in remote parts of the Empire, like the island of Misima, in Eastern Papua, British residents are recognising their individual responsibility for making a united effort in the war. Mrs. A. Ren toul, wife of the Resident Magistrate, is president of the War Workers’ Guild in Misima. A woman’s auxiliary of the Misima sub-branch of the Australian Re turned Soldiers’ League also has been formed to carry out war work, and the members holding office are: President, Mrs. S. H. Lee; treasurer, Miss C. Brown; and secretary, Miss E. E. Lee.
