From The Sea
An experimental solar still was scheduled to be set up at Lifou, Loyalty Islands, in mid- July. The purpose is to distill sea water into something more drinkable by means of a still actuated by the heat of the sun.
Mr. G. L. Chan, sanitary engineer with the South Pacific Commission, was to visit Lifou in July to supervise the installa tion of the still.
Research on the development of the scheme is being pursued in collaboration with the Uni versity of California.
