From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Dec. 5.
YESTERDAY, December 4, Mrs. F. s.
Stewart was the guest at a party at the Wau Club, when the Wau community took the opportunity of say ing good-bye to her as part-owner and recently manageress of the Hotel Bulolo, where she long has been held in high regard. Felicitous speeches were made, and Mrs. Stewart was presented with a handsomely-fitted travelling case.
Loss Of Her Son
It was with deep regret that residents of Wau and district learned that notifi cation had been received by Mrs. Stew art from the Air Ministry, that all hope that her son, Pilot Officer Moresby Gof ton. might still be alive, has been aban doned. Moresby Gofton. who was serv ing with the RAF, failed to return from a flight over Norway about the time when the Germans attacked that coun try; and his name now apparently must be inscribed in the Roll of Honour as the first man from the Morobe Gold fields to give his life for the Empire in the present war.
Mr. H. E. Nicholl, Senior Road Fore man in the Public Works Department, has retired from the Fiji Civil Service.
