WHEN Dr. E. D. Pridie, Chief Medical Officer of the Colonial Office, London, visited Fiji recently, one of the highlights of his tour was the traditional Fijian Kava ceremony held in his honour by students of the Central Medical School, Suva. While Dr. Pridie was taking Fijians, other students were interested spectators. This photograph shows an interesting contrast in the types of young men from the Pacific Islands who are attending the School. Those shown clearly from right to left are: AMP Fatiaki, Rotuma; Edward Shanta Dass HFiji Indian;-Deiiial Technician Simione, Fiji; Harris Austin, Guam; Ruben, New Guinea; Uhila, Tonga. —Photo by Fiji Public Relations Office.
