Your Own House

ANEW service to Pacific Islands home builders will be found elsewhere in this issue. The Pacific Islands Home Plans Service is connected with the Sydney Sun day Telegraph home planning ser vice which, in conjunction with a well-known Sydney department store, has supplied over 5,000 plans (from week-enders to residences of 50 squares) in the last two years.

Many Papua-New Guinea readers of the Sunday Telegraph have already become hfieres f ed in these plans, and the new Islands branch of the organ isation will bring the service within reach of residents of other terri tories as well.

The house plans available through the Pacific service are especially designed for tropical conditions. In quiries from readers relative to all aspects of home planning and build ing are welcomed by the organisa tion. t Well known Cook Islands trader Mr. Willie Watson is due back in his Rarotonga home in April with Mrs. Watson and their two daughters on completion of a grand 12 months’

"world tour. While overseas, Mr.

Watson was an indefatigably pub licity agent for “the Cooks,” in the true “Island Paradise—Maori Princess” manner.
