District Dispensary
tl Mr. J. S. L. Bell, manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Labasa, Fiji, has returned from leave in NZ.
A pleasing feature in W. Samoan affairs, is the increasing number of public ventures such as roads, waterworks, clinics and schools being built by the initiative of the villagers themselves.
Pictured here is chief carpenter Gus Betham, and the new dispensary he is building for the Leulumoega district.
The estimated cost
of £3,OOO is shared equally by the district and the Government. Leulumoega district has already collected a considerable sum towards building a new hospital to go with the dispensary.
