Some “boys” from Tanna, in the New Hebrides, have been engaged by the Solomon Islands Administration to do police work in that group. Among their own kith, and kin the Solomon Island policemen are, it seems, rather slack in bringing offenders to book, .and the way of the transgressor there has not been at all hard. The natives of Tanna. are born fighters, and it is thought that they will be able to keep order where the local native police have failed. The police in civilised countries are said to have pretty good times, hut those who know the Solomon [slanders say that the lot of the imported native police is not to be envied. •flie Tokomaru Bay district is reminded that 'Xmas is the great gift giving period. Grieve, jeweller and watchmaker, is opening for three weeks in the premises of N. J. Ball, hairdresser, a splendid assortment of jewellery and ’Xmas gifts. A competent watchmaker will bo in charge and no doubt will be kept busy overhauling clocks and watches. What Brandy? Is it Mar toll's. All right.*
