in Brisbane
A FORMER Administrator of Papua-New Guinea, Colonel J.
K. Murray, has been elected to the Queensland University Senate.
This is his second appointment to the Senate: the first was in 1953- 55. Colonel Murray has recently re turned to live in Brisbane after two years in Ceylon where Mrs. Murray was principal of a girls’ college.
Colonel Murray was Adminis trator of Papua-New Guinea, 1945- 52.
His appointment was made by the then Labour government; and he was unceremoniously emptied out by the present Liberal govern ment. The reasons for this seemed clearer in 1952 than they do to-day. t Mr. Kwan Wing Leung (known more usually as Sweetie), was host at a lavish Chinese dinner held in his Chinatown home in Honiara, BSIP, on the evening of Friday, August 16. About 15 Europeans were at the dinner which marked Sweetie’s 46th birthday. The cele brations began with an elaborate firework display, and continued through numerous Chinese foods, cases of champagne, and a terrifyingly comprehensive collec tion of wines and spirits.
