Burmese Visitor at Pacific Gathering

A COLOURFUL little figure in her national costume at the August meeting of the Pacific Islands Society, at the Carlton Hotel in Sydney, was Ma Than A, 8.A., of the staff of lec turers at the teachers’ training college, Rangoon, Burma, who was escorted by her fellow-countryman, Mo Myit, 8.A., a member of the Society. The Burmese visitor described recent visits to the New Hebrides and New Caledonia, and New Zealand and Australia. The principal speaker was Mrs. E. J. Bryce, and her subject was “Yunnan and the Burma Road’’.

Fiji’s annual show will be held this year at Suva on October 13.
