From Our Own Correspondent

Papeete. Jan. 2.

IT has been officially announced that the first DC4 of Air Prance is scheduled to leave Paris for Bora Bora on January 18, 1950, and should arrive at its destination on January 28.

A Catalina plane of the TRAP AS Com pany, Noumea, will be stationed in Papeete to ferry passengers to and from Bora Bora.

In this way, the long-desired contact by air between Tahiti and the outer world will be inaugurated at Papeete, and the way made ready for the tourist traffic which is hoped for.

A special programme is being arranged in Papeete to welcome the arrival of Air France.

The Air France route will be via Aus tralia, New Caledonia and Fiji.
