From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Nov. 27.
MR. K. W. MARCH, a prominent Chinese businessman of Suva died at the Colonial War Memorial Hos pital on November 23.
He was proprietor of the prosperous Toorak Bakery, and also president of the Fiji branch of the Kuomintang.
A staunch British-Chinese patriot, he subscribed to and worked for many Empire and Chinese causes during the Second World War and for many years was a liberal supporter of Chinese and other educational and charitable projects in Fiji.
In 1946 he visited China and was honoured by the Chiang Kai-Shek Gov ernment. He is survived by a large family, members of whom live at Suva, Hong Kong and elsewhere.
Sister Joy Walker arrived in Brisbane recently on a six months’ furlough after having completed three years’ missionary work at Gaulim Station, in the Bainings mountain area of New Britain. For the last six months she was the only white woman on the station. Sister Walker was one of the first women to go back to New Guinea after the end of the war. On
her return to the station next year she hopes to find a new hospital built to re place the nine huts which have been doing duty up to the present.
