Tongan Tilapia Are

Tasty, Too

BECAUSE Tongans know a tasty fish when they taste one, it has become neces sary for the Queen in Privy Council to pass a special ord inance to save Tonga’s tilapia fish colony.

As everyone knows, these fast growing, hardy African carp are being progressively introduced throughout the South Pacific tropical area as an expected valuable altern ative source of protein food.

Such fish were introduced to an area at Sopu, Tongatabu, where a land-reclamation pro ject is in hand, but stocfcs have been heavily raided. An ordin ance recently passed now totally prohibits all fishing in this area, with a penalty of £2O or six months gaol.

Around

Two US Pacific Governors are in this photo. Extreme left, Governor Richard Barrett Lowe, of Guam (formerly of American Samoa); and extreme right, present Governor of American Samoa, Peter K. Coleman. It was taken at the Caribe Hilton Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the two Governors were staying during a Coast Guard League Convention. Be tween the Governors are Mrs. June Raja singhhane, from Ceylon (she's no Coast Guard, but is there on a US State Department study grant); and Mr. A. W.

Salomone, manager of the hotel.

In a way, this photo is a reminder of a what-might-have-been. A couple of years ago there was an outbreak of contagious pipe dreaming about a Hilton hotel for Suva, Fiji.
