A PHOTOGRAPH taken at the quarterly meeting of the Municipal Council of Papeete, held during February. This progressive group of citizens is led by Mayor Alfred Poroi, who is seen seated in the centre of the front row. M. Poroi was awarded the French Resistance Medal for his services to Fighting France during World War II. A portrait of France’s wartime hero, General de Gaulle, can be seen in the background. —Photo by Frederick Simpson.
