Britain In N. Hebrides
THE British Community of the New Hebrides recently organised a drive to raise funds for sending food par cels to Britain. The French community also were most generous in their support.
A sum of over £6OO was thus obtained.
Entertainments took the form of a dance, children’s gymkhana, a quiz and variety show, and a card evening.
The functions afforded much pleasure, no less from the spontaneity of the or ganisation than from a desire to parti cipate in such a worthy cause.
A new Land Board was appointed by the Administrator of Papua-New Guinea at the end of December. It now is com prised of Mr. E. E. Washington, chair man; and Messrs. W. W, Watkins, I.
Champion and M. C. W. Rich members.
Retiring members are Mr. E. P. Holmes, chairman and Messrs. E. B. Bignold and W. R. Humphries, members.
