September 17.
RECENT official visitors to Non folk Island included Dr. Fry, ; Commonwealth legal expert who ii working with the local administratioi and surveyor on the matter of change ing the present system of land title* to the much simpler Torrens systerm and a West Australian artist-architec: who has been sent to report on th* preservation of our historic buildl ings. (The sudden death of Dr. Err was reported from Canberra at th* end of September).
Perhaps we residents are a soull less lot, but most would prefer to see a bulldozer put through the 010 convict buildings. However, mosii visitors get a kick from rambling through the old ruins.
There is much speculation as tc who our next administrator will be: Mr. Wilson is due to retire at the end of the year.
Many hope that a businessman will be appointed, feeling that a practical, man would be better than a military man or a politician.
