In Honolulu

The Mynah bird is an arrogant thing, With robin’s head and black-bird’s wing.
With stolen song from yellow bill His tender notes entrance you, ’till A croak he gives, like laughter mean, And struts and hops across the green.

The Marist Brothers’ Indian School in Suva, Fiji, was 50 years old on August 23. The original school, with 10 scholars, was opened by the first Vicar Apostolic of Fiji (Bishop Vidal) at the instigation of Brother Alphonsus, who is still an en ergetic figure in Suva. The school now has more than 500 Indian boys and appli cations for entrance are constantly being refused owing to shortage of accommoda tion. The first head-master was the late Brother Columba, who was succeeded by Brother Claudius.
Mr. J. J. (Jack) Sherry, who has been attached to W. R. Carpenter & Co., Ltd , for the past few months, has now gone back to his old firm, Burns, Philp & Co., Ltd. At the end of August he left for Port Moresby, where he is relieving accountant. He will later proceed to BP’s Madang branch.
