New Club For Honiara

Prom Our Own Correspondent HONIARA, March 3.

THE Guadalcanal Club, Honiara, which was burned down last April, is being rebuilt on a coastal site near the proposed Honiara Golf Coifrse. First plans were for a concrete structure but this involved too much expense and de lay, and the new building will be of timber with a leaf roof.

Besides serving as a handy 19th hole, the Club will have a billiard room and dance room, and a wide verandah with an eye-catching view across the bay to Savo Island and Cape Esperance. The building should be completed in a few weeks. Nearest approach to a Club that Honiara has had over the last 10 months is the one and only hotel, the Woodford, gallantly run by Mr. K. H. D. Hay in a temporary building pending the erection of a permanent hotel. The Woodford Hotel is non-residential and run under considerable difficulties with labour and supplies. It has been the only community meeting place in Honiara, and an invalu able asset to all BSIP residents.

Anybody who has a hangover these

days generally refers to his complaint as “Hay Fever.”
