Now "The Pacific Islands Society"

MEMBERS of the Pacific Islands Club have decided to change the name of their organisation to “The Pacific Islands Society, Sydney”.

The new president (Mr. A. E. Stephen), who sponsored the proposal, said that the new name would more accurately in dicate the objects of the organisation.

Many men, he said, objected to joining additional clubs, but the term “society” would not have that objection.

The first new member of the newly named Pacific Islands Society was Crown Prince Tuboutoa, of Tonga.

MR. GRAHAM DICKSON, who will be remembered as purser on the “Makura” on many a trans-Pacific trip, is now in Rarotonga, as acting manager for U.S.S.

Co. He will return to Sydney later in the year. In recent years he has been purser on the “Aorangi” and other vessels.
