Javanese Festival In New
From Our Own Correspondent
Noumea, Oct. 11.
THE seven or eight thousand Javanese labourers in New Caledonia will celebrate their New Year between October 22 and 24. Employers have been asked to release them for the festive occasion. In Noumea and the larger country centres there will be the usual mass feasting and junketings, accom panied by masked theatrical shows and dancing to the music of the gamelan orchestra. They also will place a wreath on the Noumea War Memorial.
