US Pacific Medical School Transferred
THE medical school which the United States Navy department set up on Guam for the training of native medical practitioners on the lines already in operation at the Central Medical School, Suva, has now been transferred to Moen, at Truk Atoll.
Dr. Karl C. Leebrick, of the University of Hawaii, who was recently in Suva, Fiji, with the South Pacific Commission's headquarters site investigation committee,
said that on Moen it was felt that students will be more in touch with the people whom they are to serve. There were too many disturbing influences at Guam— these included coco-cola, movies and automobiles.
The small Burns Philp motor vessel "Muliama” left Sydney this month for the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, via the Solomon Islands. She expects to make a call at Christmas Island (on the Equator, south ward of Hawaii) before returning to Sydney.
