ALEVUKA correspondent says: In the August “PIM” you describe the Rev.

Puata Taito as a Fijian member of the Methodist Mission. He is not a Fijian, but a Rotuman, of Notau district, and he is accompanied by his wife and child ren. I think he was on duty in the Solomons, or somewhere up north during the war. His wife and children were evacuated; but he hung on. They now are together on this special work in Vic toria, A good many Rotumans have left their homes and done Mission work in BNG and the Solomons in past years.
