Chinamen's Luck!

Result of RabauTs Big Raffle

AT least five out of the eight prizes in Rabaul’s Easter Carnival Raffle (In aid of the Sacred Heart Mission School, Rabaul) were won by members of New Guinea’s Chinese community.

Considerable local interest was taken in this raffle, which was drawn in Rabaul on May 26, as the first prize was a brand new Vauxhall car.

Tickets were £2 each, but patrons ap parently thought the odds favourable.

Over 900 tickets were sold, and although the prizes were valued at over £l,OOO, it is expected that the school will benefit

handsomely.
