Although Cakobau may have
set a good example for his ,s.ub-
jeet4 it was not necessarily fol-
lowed so that many a 'poor
white missionary lost his life
in trying to bring Christian be-
liefs to these savage people.
In fact its commonly believed
that the last white missionary
was eaten in the Fiji Islands as
late as 1867. •
The Fijians of today are tot
at all like, their barbaric ances-
tors. They belong to the Melan-
esian (Black Islanders) race
and are mostly tall, dark skinn-
ed,well built people with black
fu22y hair which js kept in this
state with ,the aid of a , flat,
long -toothed comb.- Most of the
men cut their's short in the
Western- style" but the women
adhere to the' , bouffant curls.

ed almost completely in Suva

teresting variations. •For the
men, these were leather san-
dals on bare feet, and ,wrap-

cal and a school choir from the
islands has gained quite a,
name for itself. Their dancing
Igo, is quite an art, although
we unfortunately did not have
tune to visit a Fijian village
and see one of these perform-
ances on this trip. t
Perhaps -because Qf this easy
going attitude towards life, the
-Fijians are not veryfond of
hard work, especially in the
white man's sense of the werds.
So when Britian took over Fiji,
labourers for the sugar cane
plantations had! to be found.
Since there was a shortage of
lahour in Fiji for various rea-
sons, 'indentured Labour) was
brought over from India by the
British government. The In-
dians have stayedever since and
multiplied in great numbers, al-
though indenturing has long
since passed from existence.
Many of the Indians living in
Fiji today myst`be descendents
of those , brought over nearly a'
hundred years ago. The start-
ling and rather - disturbing
thing, is 'that now the Indian
population is greater than the
native Fijian popelation. There
have been some speculations,
whether true or .not, that the
Indians who are shrewder busi-
ness/nen and eager to educate
themselves, may Possibly take
the top government positions
away from the Fijians, if and
when Britian relinquishes her
.seirereignity over the colony.
However;" -these are only specu-
lations, and the average man in
the 'street doesn't seem too con-
cerned' about them at the mom-
ent. The' third group of people
inhabiting the islands are the
white Europeans, mostly of
British, New Zealand or Aus-
tralian background, who have
been teaching and training the
natives in the ways of white
education, government -and oth-
er dealings.Next

I would like to

suburban districts and told us

The Sudbury Star recently re-
ferred to the golden wedding
of former area couple,'Mr. and
Mrs. T. C. Grieve.
In its story the Star said:
When Tom Grieve brought his
young wife to Montevillc in
1923, uncleared land •lwas sel-
ling for 50 cents an acre. The
deed of sale also carried a rid-
er stipulating •the purchaser
must clear one-tenth of the
acreage in three years.
The young farmerfrom Sea -
forth, in Southern Ontario, look-
ed over a section of •16-7 acres,
with a house and barn in a 10 -
acre clearing and decided to
buy it.
The Grieves paid $2,400 for
the property, lived there for 44
Years and raised- four sons.
Cleared farmland around 'Mon-
etville now fetches $45 and
more an acre.
• Memories of 'those early -days
• in 'Sudbury district, when set-
tlers were few and far between,
were recalled at a recent fam-
ily party, when Tem and Ruth
Grieve celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary. •
The festive gathering, in the
Mandarin Motor Hotel, .was ar-
ranged by 'their four sons, John,
Donald and Robert, of Sudbury, -
and the only Married son and
his Wife and ohildren, Mr. and
Mrs. Rugh Grieve, of Val 'Car-
on, with Gary, Glen, Karen and
Lynn. A son Kenneth was kil-
led fir the Seeon& World War,
while an infant son, Gordon,
died in 194, •
rt was on April 10, 1917, that
Thomas C. Grieve married Ruth
Gossel ' in the horde of the
bride's widowed •mother, yrs.
Cristal Gossel, 6th concession,

dine. Before coining north to
