Naming Streets is Right Up Their Alley

ANGLO-FRENCH relations in the jointly - governed New Hebrides could scarcely be better—at least, when it comes to naming streets.

When a number of new streets in Vila were named recently, half of them were named after English dukedoms and explorers, and half after French provinces and explorers.

Thus, Vila now has roads bearing the names Wales, York, Kent,

Gloucester Edinburgh, Cornwall Connaught, Captain Cook and Cap tain Bligh as well as Picardie, Bre tagne, Languedoc, Auvergne, Dau phine, Anjou, Berri, Artois, Maine La Perouse and D’Entrecasteaux.

Two of Vila’s longest roads— actually one is a continuation of th< other—were named after General d( Gaulle and Winston Churchill severa years ago.
