p. 59 · Read in the full issue
l\ Sir Robert and Lady Stanley and Miss Stanley were to leave Fremantle for England on September 2. Sir Robert, who recently retired from the post of Western Pacific High Commissioner, had been visiting friends at Nedlands, WA, before re turning to England. t New Caledonia can produce almost anything—at a cost. Last year, 1,860 tons of potatoes were consumed in the territory, but only 600 tons of them were home grown.
Potatoes imported from France and Australia could be retailed at 6 to 8 francs a kilo, while the local product had to be retailed at 14 francs to cover costs. Even then the profits to the farmer were low.
Miss Jacquelin Winifred Stubbs, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stubbs, and Mr. Rodney Cole, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan Cole, were married at Suva in August. The bride's father is Suva manager of Cable and Wireless,
Ltd., and the bridegroom's father is Director of Lands in Fiji. The bridesmaids were Misses June Hedstrom (on bridegroom's right in this picture) and Sheneagh Rennie, and Mr. John Parham was best man. (Photo by Caines).
