Village Receivers for E. Samoa

THE low-powered Pago Pago broadcast station which was closed down after the Navy departed from Pago Pago a couple of years ago, is again on the air on 1130 kc/s. The power is very low —about 65 watts it is believed—but sufficient for local requirements.

It is understood that village receiving

sets, as at present in use in Western Samoa, will soon be issued. Programmes of educational interest to the Samoan people will ihen be commenced.

The Seventh Day Adventist Mission in the Gilbert Islands has built a new school at Abemama.

The school, which was officially opened recently by the Chief Magis trate and High Chief, accommo dates 25 boarders and 60 day pupils.
