A RETIRED Fiji business man, the late Mr. D. W. Amos, devoted his later years to a study of native health problems. He achieved remarkable results by training the natives in the control of mosquitoes, which spread filaria and other tropical diseases. This photograph shows Mr. Amos instructing a class of Fijians in methods of mosquito control. See article on page 27, this issue. —Photo by Public Relations Office, Fiji.
