THE Helena Goldie Hospital in BSI is a memorial to the late Mrs. Goldie, wife of the Rev.

J. F. Goldie.

She was the first white woman to go to New Georgia at the turn of the century when the islanders were still engaged in tribal wars.

The transfer of the Helena Goldie Hospital to Roviana, New Georgia, is now proceeding. The original hospital buildings were destroyed in the war years.

Wards of permanent material are the next priority job of the mission carpenters. When these are com pleted the mission will have an effective medicai unit.

Dr. G. E. Hoult and two nurses are now in residence in comfortable temporary homes.
