Adamson, Of Apia
From Our Own Correspondent APIA, March 25.
ONE of the old settlers of the Terri tory and a popular resident of Apia died suddenly on March 8, at the age of 65.
He was Mr. George Adamson, an Aus tralian. He was a veteran of the Boer and First World Wars and came to Samoa in 1920 for Burns Philp & Co., Ltd. He later ran a small cocoa planta tion, and in recent years, was in charge of the Administration liquor shop.
Mr. Adamson is survived by his widow and three children.
A woman doctor has been appointed to the Anglican Mission in Papua. She is Dr. Blanche Biggs of Tasmania. Dr.
Biggs, who will supervise all Anglican medical facilities in Papua, will have her headquarters at the hospital at Eroro.
She will, however, travel extensively by mission boat and will supervise medical work done by missionaries at lonely New Guinea coastal stations.
