Samoa

This happy snapshot, taken recently, shows the new High Commissioner in Western Samoa, Mr. G. R. Powles, with his wife and their two sons —Grey, aged 15; and Michael, 9. Mr. and Mrs. Powles have spent some weeks in Welling ton, and now have gone on to Western Samoa. The boys will attend school in New Zealand, but will spend their vacations at “Vailima”— Robert Louis Stevenson’s old home near Apia, now the residence of the High Com missioner.
