Jubilee Cruise To Bsi
TO mark the 50th year of the Methodist Mission in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate the supporters of the mission in New Zealand may send a ship with 350 passengers on a cruise to BSI in May, 1952.
It was in 1902 that the Rev. J. F. Goldie and other Methodists opened a mission station in the New Georgia group. Mr.
Goldie is still at the Mission headquarters at Roviana (the area known as Munda during the Pacific war). Mrs. Goldie, who accompanied her husband to the BSI and was the only white woman in the group, died in Melbourne last year.
The ship that the Methodists have in view can accommodate 350 passengers in comfort and the cruise would occupy three weeks.
Ladies’ hairdresser, Miss Audrey Davis, who arrived in Port Moresby from Syd ney recently to take over Mrs. Baxter’s salon, married Mr. Bob Bright, of APC, in mid-June.
