Occasion In Western Samoa

WHEN guests were entertained at the golden wedding celebrations of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Smyth, in Apia, last October, they spontaneously contributed to a fund which, they said, would buy a silver plate or something to mark the happy occasion. The fund reached £l2O.

To this money Mr. and Mrs. Smyth them selves added £150; and with the amount thus provided they have purchased full equipment for a maternity ward for the General Hospital in Apia. The outfit is now on its way to Samoa.
