Prom Our Own Correspondent LAE, April 1.
AFTER a lapse of many month; the names of members of the ne\ Morobe District Advisory Counc have been announced. There ha been at least one satisfactory appoint ment as far as Morobe residents ar concerned—that of Mr. M. J. Leahj who was among the also-rans in th first selection but after recognitioi in the New Year’s Honours is apparently regarded as a fit am proper person for a District Advisor- Council. With his vast knowledge c the Territory, particularly th Morobe district, he should never hav been overlooked.
Advisory Councils are chosen b the Administrator from a panel c names submitted by the District Com missioner. Local dissatisfaction wa expressed with the first panel c names because most of the people cor cerned were already serving oi various local Town Councils.
Mr. H. E. Canard, Secretary t the Fiji Public Works Departmen since 1946, has been transferred t: Aden as Accountant and Store keeper.
