First Aid

SIX Fijian women, members of the Fijian Women’s Sewing and Fancy Work Club, in Suva (Dauveituberi), have passed the First Aid examination in Fijian, and were presented with their certificates at Government House, by the Governor, Sir Hary Luke, prior to his departure from Fiji.

They are the first Fijian women to take the course. The lectures were given in Fijian by Macu Salato, one of the NMP’s from the War Memorial Hospital.

They are now taking the Home Nurs ing course at the Hospital, where Sister Sinclair is giving them the lectures.

They are very interested and eager to learn all they can.

Rev. Charles Light, who was ordained in Brisbane and served on the staff of the New Guinea Mission for many years, died at Wilby Rectory, England, recently.
