THE Fijian Chiefs and people have been quite interested in the Morris, Hedstrom, Ltd. University Scholar' ship Fund, and at various Provincial Council meetings held during the past few months resolutions were passed, and officially noted, conveying their apprecia tion. A typical resolution reads as follows: “This Council would like to place on record its gratitude to Messrs. Morris, Hedstrom, Ltd., for the great gift made by the firm towards native education, and asks that an expression of its genuine appreciation be conveyed to the manag ing director, Sir Maynard Hedstrom, an old supporter and true friend of the Fijian people.”

The above was passed by the Colo West Provincial Council. Similar resolutions were passed by Colo East, Ra, Rewa, Nadi, Colo North and Lautoka.
