Citizens of Rabaul
To mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 11, and to assist a worthy public cause, a committee of Rabaul citizens is making an appeal to all present and former residents of that area, for a modest subscription to a Coronation Fund.
Rabaul has a Public Recrea tion Sports Ground, but it is in poor condition. With sufficient funds, the Coronation Committee proposes to re-design and re form the Ground, so it may be suitable for all kinds of athletic sports. There will be a sports oval, dressing sheds, pavilions, and appropriate trees and shrubs will be planted.
It is proposed also to design a set of gates which will be in stalled in memory of Rabaul soldiers and citizens who lost their lives in World War 11.
The Sports Ground will be known as Queen Elizabeth Park.
The appeal, which is warmly commended, has been made by Mr. R. Galloway, on behalf of the Coronation Finance Com mittee. Subscriptions should be sent to the Treasurer, Corona tion Finance Committee, care of District Office, Rabaul.
