Another Fortune In The

From Our Own Correspondent HONIARA, March 26.

LAST American Army material available on Guadalcanal, BSI, has been bought by a Melbourne syndicate, re ported to be acting for an American company. Purchase comprises camp fit tings, fixtures, buildings, equipment and machinery at Camp Guadal, where a very small detachment of US Army troops has been caretaking until recently. All other abandoned American material and equip ment on Guadalcanal not required by the Protectorate Government was recently acquired by a Melbourne firm operating on Guadalcanal under the name of South Pacific Traders.

Mrs. Ashton Rhodes, of Rabaul, NG, whose husband, Lieut.-Commander Rhodes, was recently appointed chief in telligence officer at Manus Naval base, was visiting Sydney in April.
