Rarotonga, March 4.

THE country’s need has once more claimed Captain J. D. Campbell, well-known Cook Islands identity.

Although Captain Campbell is well over age, his varied experience has earned

him acceptance by the powers-that-be.

He has now lived in Rarotonga for more than twenty years, first arriving as a guest of Mr. F. W. Platts, then Resi dent Commissioner, and afterwards accepting the managing-directorship of the Cook Islands Native Association, which position he has held ever since.

The business is now left in the hands of Mr. Arumaki Strickland, Euronesian sub manager.

Captain Campbell is remembered by many famous naturalists and anthro pologists for his valuable help and for the hospitality at his beautiful home at Turoa, Titikaveka. Perhaps one of his greatest objects of pride is his motor 6ar, which he has had ever since he arrived on the island.
