From Our Own Correspondent SUVA. Sept. 1.

AFTER being presented with three grand-daughters in succession. Sir Maynard Hedstrom jestingly offered a bonus of £lOO for his first grandson.

In the intervening ten years or so he has acquired three more grand-children —all girls!

But, at last, the luck has changed, and he has just proudly signed a cheque in favour of the parents of John Maynard Hedstrom 111, born in Suva on August 22.

Mr. and Mrs. Ward Nolan, who operate a medical post at Orokolo, Papua, for the SDA Mission, are at present in Sydney on furlough.

All that remained of the Burns, Philp store and offices at Ralamaua, New Guinea, a few hours after a fire started at 5.30 a.m. on August 21. All the contents were destroyed.
