Scouting In Papua

Captain C. G. Fenton, of Suva, Fiji, arrived in Sydney early in June on his way to Melbourne to join the R.A.A.F.

He was a member of the Royal Air Force during the Great War.

Sir Harry Luke, Governor of Fiji, has consented to be Patron to the Pacific Islands Society, Sydney. The previous holder of this office was the late Sir Hubert Murray. “I take it as a particular compliment, in succession to so dis tinguished an administrator”, wrote Sir Harry to the Society. “I am already aware of something of the organisation’s

activities —in particular, its much appre ciated interest in the Central Medical School at Suva”. Sir Harry added that he hoped it would not be long before he had an opportunity of meeting members in person in Sydney.

Miss Etella Williams, of Claremont College, Randwick, Sydney, was a guest at the last meeting of the Pacific Islands Club in Sydney. She is a great grand daughter of the Rev. John Williams, the famous pioneer missionary, and she was born in Samoa, and taken to the Gil bert Islands as a child.

These two photographs give a very good idea of the work that is being done by the L.M.S. Mission among the young natives in the native town of Hanuabada, near Port Moresby, Papua. The top picture shows the troop of Girl Guides, and the lower picture, a section of the Boy Scouts.
