From Our Own Correspondent RABAUL, April 21.
THE Sacred Heart School carnival at tracted streams of visitors on Easter Monday and Tuesday. The function was held at the Catholic Chinese Kinder garten site at Matupi Farm, Rabaul.
The carnival was opened by Mr. W.
E. Sansom, Acting District Officer, New Britain. He appealed for public support for the carnival —funds raised would be devoted to the education of youth.
On the platform with Mr. Sansom were Father Ormonde, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Hicks, Mr. and Mrs. J, Gilmore Snr., Mr. Gabriel Achun, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Chan and Mr. and Mrs. August Chan, also Mr. and Mrs. Achok and Mr. John Chan Achai.
The organisers estimate that the amount raised will be about two thou sand pounds. Three raffles were drawn on the last night of the carnival. The drawing of the major raffle —the first prize for which is an English six-cylinder Vauxhall sedan—will take place in May.
With the seven other prizes in this raffle, the prize money is about £2,000. Although a ticket costs £2, Rabaul people have bought out the limited number of tickets in the raffle.
