NZ Scouts on Fiji Tour

FIVE boy scouts from Waikato, NZ., stepped ashore from the Tofua at Auckland in June wearing Fijian sulus and necker chiefs which they had exchanged with their Fijian scout hosts during a 320-mile tour round Viti Levu.

The boys had left Auckland on their unofficial goodwill tour equipped with bicycles, at the end of May. But due to the bad roads —and the heat —most of their travelling was done by bus and CSR puffing-billy train.

All five expressed their apprecia tion of the wonderful hospitality shown them by the Fijians.

The Women’s Committee of the National Council of Churches —representing Anglican, Presby terian and Methodist denominations at Christchurch, N.Z., reported in early June that as a result of a collection taken up on the Women’s World Day of Prayer, £NZ6S2 would be distributed amongst Mission Boards for |the relief of Pacific hurricane victims.
