Death Of Mr. James Sim

HIS many Solomon Island friends will regret to learn of the death at his home m Chatswood, NSW, of Mr James Sim, on January 30. Death came with tragic suddenness. Mr. Sim ap peared to be in his normal good health on rising; but soon afterwards he was stricken with heart seizure, which almost immediately proved fatal.

James Sim was born in Scotland, and, after a varied and adventurous career went to the Solomons over 30 years ago as a plantation manager for Levers Pacific Plantations Ltd. At that time, the way of the pioneer was rough, and conditions were hard and precarious.

In later years, and up to the time of ms retirement, Mr. Sim was Inspector of Plantations for LPPL, a position which gave scope to his undoubted talent for efficient organisation and sound ad ministration. He is survived by Mrs Sim, their daughter Jean (Mrs P F Wilson) and grand-daughter, Helen
