Them There
New Caledonia, which carried off the majority of medals at the last South Pacific Games in Noumea in December, 1966, is getting down in earnest to the problem of raising funds to send its contingent to the Third South Pacific Games in Port Moresby next August.
On December 31, the first of two big lotteries to raise funds for the Games will be drawn in Noumea.
Seventeen prizes totalling two million Pacific francs ($A20,000) will be distributed. The first prize will be a million francs.
The prizes will represent half of the proceeds of the lottery as 200,000 tickets will be sold at 20 francs each.
