In Sydney
IN November, 1947, a Fijian seaman, Joseph Waisura, met with an accident near Sydney, which resulted in the total loss of one eye. Having very little knowledge of the English language Joseph's stay in Sydney while receiving hospital treatment would have been very lonely had it not been for members of the South Sea Islands Club who did all in their power to entertain him.
Recently he returned to Fiji, wearing a new glass eye and carrying a spare in his pocket. These had been presented to him by the club members w T ho had taken it upon themselves to look after him.
This is just one example of what the South Sea Islands Club is endeavouring to do for Islands people in Sydney.
There is a sincere welcome for all Islanders, and those interested in the Islands at the SSIC socials held at 5 Hamilton St. (off Bridge St.), Sydney, each Friday night.
For particulars of Club, and dates of socials, contact the secretary, Mr. Sid.
