Fijian Triplets

Suva. Jan. 24.

ONE of the Fijian triplets born at Wainibokasi on December 20 has died. The news was published on January 18, at a time when public interest in the babies was at its peak, due to a modest “shilling-in” collection started in Suva by Mr. Albert Low.

The idea of a small voluntary contri bution appealed.to people of all races, and

in a short time the shillings totalled more than £35.

About 24 New Caledonian Boy Scouts took part in the Pan-Pacific Jamboree in Melbourne, Australia, in December, 1948.

Dr. J. M. Cruikshank, the new Director of Medical Services, Fiji, and Mrs.

Cruikshank, arrived at Suva in the “Aorangi” on February 4.
