Rev. Fr. Deihl Retires
Esteemed Missionary Leaves Samoa
From Our Own Correspondent APIA. August 11.
TWO popular and respected residents of Western Samoa left the Territory in early August for the USA, via Pago Pago.
The Rev. Father J. Deihl departed from Samoa after 28 years’ unselfish and de voted educational work for the Roman Catholic Mission and strenuous and un tiring efforts for the European and Samoan communities as a whole, irre spective of creed and race. He endeared himself to all and gained the esteem of Europeans and Samoans alike. During the last few years he has been com pelled by ill-health to limit his activities and he has now to abandon his successful labours and return to his home country.
His many friends and admirers in Samoa wish him a speedy recovery and good luck.
MRS MARY CROUDACE has returned to the USA after a lengthy visit to her Samoa home. Mrs. Croudace has many friends in Apia and it is re gretted that she could not extend her stay. Her family now reside in America.
