Vice Regal Party On
Suva, May 28.
THE Governor-General of New Zealand, Sir Willoughby Norrie, accompanied by Lady Norrie and their daughter, Miss Rosemary Norrie, are at present touring this section of the South Pacific Islands, in a flyingboat of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
The party arrived from NZ, at Lauthala Bay, Suva, on May 25, and spent four days here as the guests of the Governor of Fiji, Sir Ronald and Lady Garvey. They motored around Viti Levu, visiting many points of interest, and made a call at Makogai Leper Station.
Here, they were accompanied by Sir Henry Scott, president of the Board responsible for Makogai.
To-day, they left for Western Samoa, where they will spend five days, and will be the guests of honour at all the elaborate cere monies with which the Samoans customarily greet visitors of distinc tion.
On June 2, the vice-regal party will go on from Satupuala airport, Samoa, to Aitutaki, in the Cook Islands, where a few more days will be spent before they commence the return to New Zealand.
