New Caledonia

IT is as hard to keep up with the governors of the French Pacific territories as it is to say, off hand, who is the current husband of a Hollywood film star.

Since the war and before it there has been a procession of governors in Tahiti and New Caledonia.

Governor-General Coumarie, of New Caledonia, recently left Noumea for France by the Messageries Mari times vessel Chung King and will not be back.

His successor is Monsieur Louveau, for five years Governor of Soudan, where they apparently keep their Governors a little longer, but New Caledonia learned of his appoint ment only by way of a broadcast from Brazzaville in Central Africa.

Mr. D. T. Tilley, Fire Officer at Lautoka, Fiji, and secretary of the Northern Club, is away on leave with Mrs. Tillev. On his return, he will rejoin Morris Hedstrom as Lautoka shipping manager.
