Norfolk Is., Jan. 16.

MR. PAUL HASLUCK, Minister for Australian Territories, with Mrs. Hasluck and their children, returned to Australia on

January 15 after two weeks on Norfolk Island.

Officially it was a holiday, but it consisted largely of investigations into Island problems, conferences with the Advisory Council and a round of social visits. Mr. and Mrs.

Hasluck also gave a reception at Government House to which all residents of Norfolk were invited.

The Minister took a genuini interest in Island affairs and is oi the opinion that a Commonweal*!] grant would be provided for the improvement of some of our road if the Island would attend to main] tenance afterwards.
