p. 29 · Read in the full issue

The Queen has given permission for the Recreation Reserve at Rabaul to be named Queen Elizabeth Park.

The Rabaul public were asked to sub scribe £5,000 towards relevelling and re designing the Recreation Reserve. More than that amount has been received and at a meeting held recently, the Sports Advisory Committee decided to go ahead erecting four tennis courts, a pavilion and dressingrooms.

Eventually it is hoped that there will be eight tennis courts, two baseball arenas, two cricket pitches, football and soccer playing fields, basketball courts, a bowling green and a swimming pool.
