Mr. and Mrs. Jock Campbell, formerly of Rabaul, announce the bnth of a son on August i 8 at their present home in Sunbeam Street, Fairfield, Bns bane. His name is David John.

In Fiji, in the crew of an American freighter, I found Mr. Arthur Newton, one of the “old timers”- of the New Guinea goldfields. Hewas the late Ernie Dover; but, while Dover left his bones in Wau, Newton was suc cessful in getting out with a modest for tune He and his wife—who claims that she was the fifth woman to enter the Morobe— bought a modern caravan and an eight-cylinder Studebaker and for years until the outbreak of war they wandered all over eastern and central Australia living a glorious vagabond life.

After the war came, Mr. Newton served in the New Guinea zone, and ferred to an American line. He now nab his nose turned towards South America -he thinks that he may live in Brazil after the war, and look for P^ci ous metals in the Amazon country.—RWß.
