p. 27 · Read in the full issue

London

BRITISH Commonwealth Pacific Air lines have reduced their through fare to London, via the United States or Canada. From Sydney to London the fare is now £327/10/- instead of £358/8/6. (Return £589/10/- instead of £650/2/3.) With their new DC-6 planes on the Pacific service, it is now possible to reach London from Australia within four days.

With the Pacific-North American route to the UK (passengers have a choice of travelling via the USA or Canada) no language difficulties are encountered and the only health requirement is a small pox vaccination.

Major Dr. Baraay has arrived at Nou mea to replace Major Dr. Jacques as radiologist at Noumea Hospital.
