Why Little

Laughed And Laughed

WITH amazement and horror, Sydney’s Kai Viti read this in the Sydney Sun of May 8: • Schools in— the brewery Fijian children are doing their lessons in the breweries since the recent hurricane blew down most of the schools, says Mrs. G. Ongley, who came in by Pan-American strata clipper yesterday, from Suva.

“Desks, blackboards and maps have been set up in the breweries, which are strongly built and so stood up to the severe weather.

“There is a brewery in every small town” she added.

But Little Audrey laughed and laughed—because she knew that what Mrs. Ongley said was Bure, not Brewery; and that a Bure is a native house, built of native materials.
