p. 21 · Read in the full issue
THE Makogai Lepers (New Zealand) Trust Board announced recently that because there is no leper sta tion in the Solomon Islands, it has allo cated £250 to each of the five mission ary societies doing medical and leper work in that territory. An assurance has been given by the mission societies con cerned that the money will be used only for leper work, and not for religious purposes.
A major grant of £5,000 is being held by Sir Philip Mitchell (High Commis sioner for the Western Pacific) for work after the war, and an additional £3,000 has been allotted for use in the Cook and Samoan Groups.
Dr. and Mrs. R. J. Snodgrass, of Fiji, are at present on a visit to Auckland, NZ.
